1.9 million Units of the Toyota Prius Recalled

Published on February 13, 2014 in Recalls by Gilles Olivier

The Japanese automaker has become a master in the art of massive recalls!

This time, it is the ultra-popular Toyota Prius which is the subject of a new recall. The affected models were produced between the years 2009 and 2014.

Apparently, it has to do with a potentially malfunctioning inverter software control module for the hybrid system which could cause the vehicle to stall. The vehicle can enter safe mode, which reduces engine power and in some cases, the Prius could even stop without warning.

To correct the situation, Toyota will reprogram the control module. The repair will take forty minutes and not cost owners anything but the inconvenience of having to bring the car to the dealer.

No accidents or injuries have been reported because of the problem.
