PhotoToyota Motor North America is recalling about 92,000 Toyota Prius sedans from the 2016 and 2017 model years to fix a problem with the parking brake.

On the involved vehicles, there is a possibility that the parking brake could become inoperative.If this occurs and the driver exits the vehicle with the transmission in a gear other than "Park"while the ignition is on, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

Toyota dealers will add clips on the top of the brake cable dust boots to prevent the cable from becoming inoperative at no cost to customers.All known owners of the involved vehicles will be notified by first class mail starting in November.
