Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) — Toyota Motor Corp. stopped shipments of its Lexus HS250h and SAI hybrids from a factory in southern Japan due to possible brake problems with the models, which use the same system as Prius hybrid cars.

Shipments from the factory in Kyushu were stopped yesterday to inspect the models, Norifumi Wakikawa, a spokesman at Toyota Motor Kyushu, said by phone today. Toyota, the world’s biggest carmaker, is expected to recall the 2010 version of the Prius in Japan this week to repair a problem with the braking system.
