The policy is in efffect until the car's "brake concerns have been addressed appropriately by Toyota," Zipcar said in a press release. "This recall impacts less than 1 percent of the Zipcar fleet."

Zipcar noted that it had previously announced that 2009 and 2010 Toyota Matrix models could not longer be reserved by Zipcar customers due to a safety recall.

As of last week, the Zipcar fleet numbered about 6,500 vehicles.
