2018 Toyota Prius C

The 2018 Toyota Prius C has 3 recalls, the most serious being two related issues where the auxiliary battery loses its charge and the vehicle can suddenly lose drive power, raising the risk of a crash.

Both propulsion-related recalls point to the same core problem: an electrical fault in the hybrid system stops the auxiliary battery from receiving power. When this happens, warning lights and audible chimes appear on the dash, but if the vehicle keeps running in that state, it can lose power to the drive wheels entirely while in motion. The third recall applies only to vehicles sold in Puerto Rico, where a label covering front passenger airbag warnings and child occupant seating positions may be missing from the cabin. Without that label, occupants may not position themselves or their children correctly relative to the airbag, which can raise the risk of injury in a crash.
