COMPANIES Akio Toyoda, Toyota’s chief executive, said he would travel to the US to explain to consumers the company’s response to its quality problems, as he announced a global recall of 437,000 hybrid vehicles, including the flagship Prius.
At a news conference, Mr Toyoda said the world’s biggest carmaker would recall the petrol-electric hybrids built between April 2009 and this month to fix their braking software.
