TORRANCE, Calif. -

Toyota Motor Sales USA announced a recall this week of approximately 87,000 cars from the 2010 model year.

Toyota said it will conduct a voluntary safety recall involving the 2010 Toyota Prius and Lexus HS 250h vehicles.
 
(The worldwide recall involves approximately 242,000 vehicles, a Toyota spokesperson indicated.)

The recall is based on a brake pressure accumulator that the company said may develop a fatigue crack on an internal part due to vibration.

No reports of accidents or injuries have been associated with this condition, Toyota reported.
 
Owners of the vehicles subject to recall will receive notification via first class mail.

The recall remedy will involve inspection of the brake booster pump assembly to see if it is equipped with an involved accumulator. If so, the dealer will replace the brake booster pump assembly with an improved one at no cost to the customer, Toyota said.
