Six hundred and seventy thousand Priuses are being recalled due to a problem with the steering intermediate extension shafts.
A manufacturing error could have caused the shaft to not harden properly, allowing it deform.
Three hundred and fifty thousand are being recalled due to issues with the electric water pumps.
The pumps can randomly shut off, during use, causing the vehicle to forcibly stop using it's hybrid system.
Those numbers are for the US alone.
Over two million more are being recalled worldwide.
In both cases the vehicles will need to be inspected, to determine if the part needs replacing.
No crashes or injuries have been reported due to either problem.
