Consumer Description
RECALL NOTICE EOE WAS PERFORMED ON MY 2010 PRIUS TO CORRECT AN INVERTOR PROBLEM. A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER AT CAPISTRANO TOYOTA AS WELL AS OTHER DEALERS THIS WAS JUST A BANDAID AND NOT A TRUE FIX. THE OWNER OF CAPISTRANO TOYOTA AS WELL AS OTHER TOYOTA DEALERS HAVE WRITTEN TO TOYOTA THAT THE INVERTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER H,S HAD MANY CARS COME BACK AFTER THE SOFTWARE FIX AND HAD TO HAVE THE INVERTOR CHANGED. IF THE INVERTOR FAILS WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR CAN POSSIBLY JUST STOP RUNNING OR SLOW DOWN TO 15 MILES. THIS WILL BE VERY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY.
