Recall

After reports last week of a brake malfunction in some 2010 Toyota Priuses, HOURCAR pulled the two newest cars in its fleet out of service. Safety is our first priority, so we quarantined the cars as soon as it became clear there was a problem and before Toyota issued its recall of the cars this week. The repairs dictated by Toyota’s recall have been performed, so both cars are now back in service at HOURCAR’s newest hub on the Saint Paul campus of the University of St. Thomas.

Toyota announced yesterday that it would temporarily suspend the manufacture and sale of 8 models of its cars. This decision does not include any of the vehicle models in HOURCAR’s fleet, but we are following the story and will take any necessary steps to ensure the safety of our fleet.

In the past, we’ve commented on Toyota’s recall of floor mats.
