So actually Prius recalled 320,000. They tried to minimize it at first by saying it was 113,000 and half of them were in Japan. Well it was 170,000 in the US and the potential of this problem was you could get killed.
Don't get me wrong give Toyota credit for recalling these cars, but they always try to minimize their problems and make it look like some sort of nit-pickie problem.
