    I haven't seen this posted yet but Toyota is doing a recall on some 4th Generation Prii.


    Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available
    SummaryThe subject vehicles have an engine wire harness which is connected to the hybrid vehicle Power Control Unit. A portion of the wire harness could contact the cover at this connection and wear over time, causing an electrical short circuit, which can generate heat.

    Safety RiskIf sufficient heat is generated, there is an increased risk of a vehicle fire.

    RemedyToyota is currently preparing the remedy for this issue. When the remedy becomes available, Toyota dealers will check the engine wire harness assembly. If a wire core is exposed, the engine wire harness assembly will be replaced with a new one that includes a protective sleeve. If a wire core is not exposed, protective tape will be installed on the engine wire harness assembly. The repair will be performed FREE OF CHARGE to customers.
