In the US there are about 235000 recalls. In Japan 74000 recalls and in Europe there are 37500. So far there have been no accidents because of  the faults in vehicles.  In the SUVs the transistors in the hybrid system overheat which can cause the the operation to stop. In the Lexus's also will just stop on the road because of bolts in the variable valve timing control device comes loose.
