Update: Toyota Recalls More Prius Cars

Van Wey Law reported last week that despite Toyota's recent recall mayhem over the past few years, its sales of the hybrid Prius are up.

But just released today, Toyota is once again sending out recalls, this time for its first-generation Prius, model years 1997 to 2003.  The recall covers 106,000 Prius cars worldwide and an estimated 52,000 here in the United States.  Cars affected in the United States are Prius model years 2001 to 2003.

Toyota warns that the cars may have a nut come loose, leading to faulty steering.  So far, one accident has been reported as being caused by this defect.
