hemmm..... perang dagang ???

Apakah ini bentuk perang dagang ? Sependengaran saya, produk itu di sini,
ditelan mentah-mentah begitu saja...
Toh di negeri ini "tidak butuh" menekan pedal gas... karena jalannya macet...
Nggak butuh pedal rem yang canggih... karena jalannya pelan...
Pokoknya itu mobil built up.... ya mestinya canggih donk...

Toyota 'planning recall of Prius' in US and Japan

Toyota chief Akio Toyoda: "I am very, very regretful that this has happened"

Toyota is to recall the latest model of its flagship Prius cars because of 
a possible fault with the brakes, reports from Japan say.

The firm did not comment on the reports, but said it would be announcing 
soon what action it would take over problems with the Prius.

Toyota has already recalled about eight-million vehicles with faulty 
accelerator pedals.

Company president Akio Toyoda has publicly apologised for the problems.

TOYOTA RECALLS: STORY SO FAR
-. September 2007, US: 55,000 Camry and Lexus cars in floormat recall
-. October 2009, US: 3.8m Toyota and Lexus vehicles recalled due to floormat 
   problem
-. November 2009, US: floormat recall increased to 4.2m vehicles
-. January 2010, US: 2.3m Toyota vehicles recalled due to accelerator pedal 
   problems (of those, 2.1m already involved in floormat recall)
-. January 2010, US: 1.1m Toyotas in floormat recall
-. February 2010, Europe: 1.8m Toyota's in pedal recall
-. February 2010, Japan, US: 200 reports of brake faults in new Prius (none 
   recalled)

The brake problem is thought to affect about 270,000 Priuses that were sold 
in the US and Japan starting last May. Toyota blames a software glitch and 
says it has already fixed vehicles sold this year.

According to Japan's largest newspaper, Yomiuri, Toyota has already notified 
car dealers in Japan that it plans to recall its latest Prius model. It will 
make a formal announcement after reporting to the government, according to 
the reports.

It is unclear whether a similar total recall is planned for the US, but 
dealers there have reportedly been told that Toyota plans to repair the 
brakes on thousands of Prius vehicles.

The US Transportation Department said last week it was investigating 
braking problems in the 2010 Toyota Prius after Toyota admitted brake 
problems with the model.

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 124 
reports from drivers about the braking issue, including four of crashes.

There have been no reports of any such accidents in the UK.

The US investigation will look into allegations of momentary loss of 
braking power while travelling over uneven road surfaces. Toyota said 
the glitch was not legally a safety hazard, and that it had received 
no reports of any accidents related to it.

Toyota estimates its losses will reach $2bn (£1.23bn) in costs and lost 
sales from its worldwide recall of vehicles that might have faulty 
accelerator pedals, but a recall of Prius models would send this figure 
even higher.

But these losses could escalate if the trust and reputation the company 
built up over a period of decades is demolished, observers say.
