S. Korea orders Toyota to recall Prius

SEOUL, Feb. 9 (Yonhap) -- Toyota Motor Corp. was ordered to recall hundreds of Prius hybrid vehicles in South Korea due to problems with the car's braking system that led to a global recall of the popular model by the Japanese carmaker, government officials said Tuesday.

Subject to the recall in South Korea are 510 Prius cars, including about 30 units imported by individuals, the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs said in a statement.

The vehicles were produced and sold in South Korea between Feb. 26, 2009 and Jan. 27, 2010, the ministry said.
