It's due to stalling issues.
It follows the news on Friday out of the US that it is recalling 2.4 million hybrid-electric cars, mostly Prius models, around the world to fix an electronic defect that cause the vehicles to suddenly lose power that could "increase the risk of a crash."
The recall in the US includes various Prius models that were built from 2010 to 2014, the same cars that were recalled earlier and fixed with a software update that lawsuits allege was not effective in preventing power losses.
New Zealand owners are asked to contact 0800 TOYOTA (0800 869 682) for more information.

In the article Peter Kruger, a cyclist himself, said he had no issues with cyclists – but these two were riding side by side with no consideration for motorists.
Currently, the law allows cyclists to ride side-by-side.
But states when the road was narrow or vehicles couldn't pass, cyclists should move to form a single file.
This raises the question. Should it be illegal for two or more cyclists to ride next to one another on the road?
