Toyota recalls 1.9 mln Prius cars worldwide
程序存隐患 丰田全球召回190万辆普锐斯

Toyota said Wednesday that it’s recalling 1.9 million of its Prius hybrid cars around the world.

The recall comes because of a problem that could cause the car to suddenly slow down. Toyota says there’s a glitch in software used to control one of the car’s power converters. The glitch could cause the car to enter a "fail-safe mode" and lose much of its engine power. Toyota says it’s aware of the defect in more than 400 vehicles, including 300 in Japan and 90 in North America. No accidents had been reported yet because of the defect.
