Toyota Recalls Hybrid SUVs Over Electronics Issue

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:

NPR's business news starts with a Toyota recall.

(Soundbite of music)

MONTAGNE: Toyota says it's recalling more than 80,000 hybrid SUVs sold in the U.S. The problem: electronics. Possible faulty wiring could cause the vehicles to lose power or stop running completely. The recall involves the Highlander hybrid SUV and Lexus hybrid SUV.

The announcement yesterday comes at a tough time for Toyota. The company is still recovering from serious production delays and financial troubles caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
