TOYOTA PRIUS ( 25/08/2014 – 10/11/2014) DEFECT: The inverter assembly may overheat which will cause warning lamps to illuminate and the vehicle to enter a fail safe mode. Fail safe allows the vehicle to be driven on reduced power to a place of safety. However it is possible for the hybrid system to shut down causing the vehicle to stop which increases the risk of a collision.
Remedy
On affected vehicles reprogramme the Motor Generator and Power Management ECUs.
