Japanese Newspaper: Prius Recall A Go

The Nikkei newspaper is reporting that Toyota will recall 276,000 2010 Toyota Priuses in both Japan and the U.S. to fix a brake problem the company disclosed earlier today.

The paper says it will be about 176,000 Japanese units and 100,000 American, sold between May and December of 2009.

Toyota's North American representatives could not be reached for comment.
