This is a list of FAQs provided by Toyota regarding the 2010 Prius voluntary recall. This FAQ will be updated as we receive more information.

First, the press release is up. <You can read it below>

Second, we know before you've even read it that it won't answer all your questions. We know and we're working on it.

Thought I would share this quick bit of news: The ad agency representing 173 dealers in 5 Southeast states has told the local ABC affiliates to pull their commercials. The agency told ABC affiliates last week that the shift was due to "excessive stories on the Toyota issues." Instead, the dealers have shifted their commercial time buys to non-ABC stations in the same markets, "as punishment for the reporting," according to an ABC station manager.

This weekend it was hard to avoid the talk of the Prius brake "issue" and the software update coming. I didn't do anything or go anywhere interesting this weekend, but I figured some of you may have. Overhear any Prius recall talk at a Super Bowl Party yesterday? Did you take your Prius out to try and get the brakes to skip a beat?

Digg is running a special "Digg Dialogg" event on Monday with Jim Lentz, President and COO of Toyota Motor Sales. From now until Monday morning you can submit your question for Mr. Lentz and if it gets enough Diggs it will be a part of the interview.

The interview will cover all Toyota products, not just the Prius, but feel free to throw some questions in there and post them in the comments so we can Digg them to the top.

Can you digg it?

Digg Dialogg - Interview With Jim Lentz

A Special Service Campaign (SSC) or full-fledged recall is imminent for the 2010 Toyota Prius to update the brake ECU software in order to resolve the "brake loss" sensation that occurs when the car changes over from regenerative brakes to the friction brakes. As I reported last night, an anonymous Toyota official told me that a fix is on the way.

Finally, a break from Toyota recall news! Not surprisingly, Ford has announced that they will also have to fix their Fusion and Milan hybrids due to a braking issue related to the switchover from regenerative braking to friction braking.

One upside to all the news coverage regarding the Prius' brake issues is that PriusChat legends like Wayne Mitchell can get some publicity for themselves and their local Prius clubs.

Nothing official out of Toyota yet except for a very minimal statement, but the Nikkei news service in Japan is reporting that Toyota will recall 270,000 3rd generation Prius hybrids that have been sold since the May launch of the 2010 model.
