On Tuesday, Toyota Motor Corporation announced a global recall of more than 430,000 hybrid vehicles to fix problems with several anti-lock braking systems. The current safety campaign, which includes the extremely popular 2010 Prius model as well as the 2010 Lexus HS, is the latest of a series of international recalls totaling 8.1 million vehicles since October 2009.

The most recent recall comes just a day before the first government hearing regarding Toyota and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s handling of safety concerns raised by U.S. officials over the last few years.

“Let me assure everyone that we will redouble our commitment to quality as a lifeline of our company,” said Toyota president Akio Toyoda. “I apologize for causing trouble and concern for many customers over the quality and safety of Toyota vehicles.”

Dealers will fix the defect by upgrading each vehicle’s software to accelerate the transition from regenerative to antilock braking, according to Auto Week. Toyota has announced that the software upgrade has already been introduced in new cars last month, meaning the popular hybrid Prius will continue to be manufactured and sold.
