Issue: On certain vehicles, a short circuit could occur in the main display of the combination meter. This could cause the vehicle speed and fuel level to disappear from the main display while driving. Safety Risk: A vehicle that does not display the fuel level could have an increased risk of running out of fuel. If vehicle speed is not displayed, it could result in the vehicle being driven at higher speed than intended. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the combination meter circuit board. It will be replaced if necessary.
Issue: On certain vehicles, a defect could cause the brake booster pump to fail. This could result in a loss of braking assist. If the failure occurs, the driver will be provided with both visual and audible warnings. It would also cause the Vehicle Stability Control system to turn off. Safety Risk: A loss of braking assist could cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. A loss of Vehicle Stability Control would cause the vehicle to not meet the requirements of Canadian regulations, and could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect, and if necessary, replace the brake booster pump.

An electrical short circuit may occur in the instrument panel. This may cause the speedometer, odometer and fuel gauge to malfunction, increasing the risk of an accident. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 12 and 31 July 2019.. Types: Frame code ZVW50, WMI: JTD, Range by frame number: VDS - KB3FU#; VIS – 03088412-03088650;; Frame code ZVW55, WMI: JTD, Range by frame number: VDS – L93FU#; VIS – 03088412-03088650;; Type-approval number: e6*2007/46*0339*01.
Specific transistors in the boost converter of the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) can be damaged by the high thermal stress caused by repeated driving under certain high-load driving patterns (e.g. from a stop, applying nearly full throttle and then gradually further accelerating to full throttle). This may cause the hybrid system to be shut down without entering a failsafe mode. As a result the vehicle may lose motive power while driving at higher speeds, increasing the risk of an accident. Production: February 5, 2014 through November 6, 2015 (Prius); May 3, 2014 through December 2, 2018 (Auris HV); September 12, 2014 through March 24, 2016 (Prius+). Types: e11*2007/46*0018*, e11*2001/116*0264*.
