Toyota spokeswoman Ririko Takeuchi said Friday the Japanese auto giant has launched a probe into the Lexus HS250h model because it uses the same brake system as the Prius hybrid. Toyota is reportedly considering a recall of the Prius hybrid in Japan and the U.S. due to brake problems.
Takeuchi said Toyota has not received any complaints about the Lexus HS250h model, and that the probe is to ensure safety.
