TOYOTA AUSTRALIA ADVICE TO CUSTOMERS:
In certain current generation Prius vehicles, Toyota has received reports that some
customers have experienced inconsistent brake feel when the vehicle is driven over
potholes, bumps or slippery road surfaces.
Toyota is currently in the process of confirming these reports and investigating the
vehicle driving conditions under which the reported condition occurs. Toyota Australia
has a well established process to deal with matters such as this and will notify
customers if further action is required. It is premature to comment until the
investigation has been completed.
This issue is not related to the recent accelerator pedal recall in North America,
Europe and China. Vehicles sold or built in Australia are not affected by that recall.
