    New to the forum, I am wondering... I ordered a used DC Inverter for my 2010 Prius the dealer called out P/N G9200-47140. However, when I check my P/N of the inverter in the car it shows G9200-47180... Can anyone tell me the difference between these two parts.... They look the same. Can a G9200-47140 replace a G9200-47180? Thanks, Steve

    I guess I can answer my own question, I swapped out the Inverter G9200-47180 and put in the G9200-47140 and everything works just fine.... so far..... I haven't seen any anomalies so far.. I will drive it around for a few days to see if I notice anything and report back.

    Well I drove it for a few days put on about 150 miles, in town and freeways, no issues, performance is the same.... I was wondering about the recall... updating the software to make the inverter run cooler so that it won't over heat internal transistors.... My "new" inverter doesn't store the software update I hope.... and the recall efforts by the dealer is still valid on this inverter? Please advise if anyone knows for sure, Thanks.
