Vehicles Affected: Approximately 92,000 model-year 2016-17 Toyota Prius hybrids

The Problem: The parking brake could malfunction, causing the vehicle to roll unexpectedly in a gear other than Park while the ignition is on, increasing the risk of a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will add clips on the top of the brake cable dust boots to prevent the cable from becoming inoperative for free.

What Owners Should Do: Toyota will start notifying owners in November. Owners can call the automaker at 800-331-4331 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
