The hits only keep arrival for Toyota.

Already facing a global cancel of disastrous proportions – around 8 million Toyotas have been recalled because of faulty accelerator pedals – Toyota's is bracing itself for another global recall, this time for the Toyota Prius.

Reports have been arrival out in Toyota's home country of Japan, specially from the country's biggest newspaper, Yomiuri, that the automaker is scheduled to announce the cancel of its Prius line sometime in the next few days because of growing braking concerns that seems to have plagued the hybrid vehicle.

Contrary to the problems related with other Toyota models, the problem with the Prius seems to be solvable through a software upgrade, which can be done quite simply and less time than the bigger accelerator issues that has afflicted a big chunk of Toyota's fleet.

Nevertheless, the impending cancel of the Prius is the final thing Toyota needs right now, particularly after it has all but shattered its reputation as a safe and reliable brand. Where this goes is anybody's guess, but the way things are going, it's going to take a while before Toyota can re-establish its image and reputation that has been stained and tarnished to incredulous levels.
