Toyota explains that “the affected vehicles, the current software settings for the motor controller / generator and the hybrid controller can result in a high thermal stress in certain transistors, causing damage (…) if this happens, light up several warning lights on the dashboard (…) In rare circumstances, the hybrid system can even be switched off with the vehicle in motion. “.
The company wants to collect 109 thousand cars in the US, 340,000 in Japan and 160,000 in Europe. The flaw is present in Prius models sold between 2012 and 2014 and the manufacturer has already begun to send communications to drivers.
In just two weeks, Toyota is the third car manufacturer to request the collection of thousands of vehicles due to software problems. Land Rover has identified a flaw in 65,000 Range Rovers that destrancavam doors spontaneously and Ford is recalling 433,000 Focus, C-Max and Escape 2015 that does not turn off even if you remove the key.
