Toyota New Zealand is issuing a recall for 1200 vehicles in New Zealand. It's due to stalling issues.

It follows the news on Friday out of the US that it is recalling 2.4 million hybrid-electric cars, mostly Prius models, around the world to fix an electronic defect that cause the vehicles to suddenly lose power that could "increase the risk of a crash."

The recall in the US includes various Prius models that were built from 2010 to 2014, the same cars that were recalled earlier and fixed with a software update that lawsuits allege was not effective in preventing power losses.

New Zealand owners are asked to contact 0800 TOYOTA (0800 869 682) for more information.
