Toyota issues new safety recall for latest Prius hybrid

Japan's Toyota Motor Corp has begun working to resolve a brake problem in its flagship Prius hybrid vehicles.

The fix comes after the company announced it was recalling more than 400,000 cars in the latest in a series of embarassing quality problems.

On Wednesday Toyota announced a further recall, this time affecting some 7,000 of its 2010 Camry model, which it says has problems with the power-steering.
