With the widely expected recall of Toyota’s Prius hybrid car this week Irish bookmaking firm Paddy Power are offering odds on the next international car brand, after Toyota, to issue a recall in excess of 100,000 units.

And in even more bad news for the Japanese car giant Paddy Power make Toyota their odds-on 1/3 favourite to be first to announce another recall after the Prius. The luxury vehicle division of Toyota, Lexus, is the 2/1 second favourite followed by Volvo and Audi and longer odds of 12/1 and 14/1 respectively.

Bizarrely punters believe that Czech Republic car manufacturer Skoda is the least likely to be forced to recall their cars and is the 66/1 outsider in the betting.

Paddy Power said, “Ninety per cent of bets placed so far predict that Toyota will come a cropper again but with rumours circulating about a similar braking fault on the new Lexus hybrid I think the 2/1 about Lexus could be the value bet.”
