As part of a massive worldwide recall of nearly a million vehicles, Toyota is recalling 170,000 Priuses in the U.S. The hybrid is the only American model impacted by the large recall, but it is significant. In Priuses built between 2003 and 2005, the steering shaft assembly could become loose or even crack under certain conditions. Even though no incidents have been reported yet, this is a serious recall and we recommend Prius owners get their cars serviced at the dealership ASAP.
