taking my 2010 Prius III to the dealer today for a brake recall. They're replacing the brake booster pump assembly. I've had no problems - but I'll let them inspect/replace! press release below, if you're not aware: ****************************************************************************************** Toyota Announces Toyota Announces Voluntary Recall of Certain Toyota Prius and Lexus HS 250h Vehicles TORRANCE, Calif. (June 4, 2013) – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., today announced that it will conduct a voluntary safety recall involving approximately 87,000 model year 2010 Toyota Prius and Lexus HS 250h vehicles. The involved vehicles are equipped with a brake pressure accumulator that may develop a fatigue crack on an internal part due to vibration. Toyota has had no reports of any accidents or injuries associated with this condition. Owners of vehicles subject to this recall will receive a notification by first class mail. The recall remedy will involve inspection of the brake booster pump assembly to see if it is equipped with an involved accumulator. If so, the dealer will replace the brake booster pump assembly with an improved one at no cost to the customer.
Evidently my 2010 Prius is not part of the 87K ones. Sept. '09, ordered. delivered to me the end of Nov. '09. Checked w/VIN # online last week and it said there was nothing on my car....... So I see no need to go to the dealer, as all they are going to do is look online at the same info and tell me they will be glad to do the job for $$.$$.$$! Right?
