TOYOTA PRIUS PRIME Recalls

The Toyota Prius Prime has 4 recalls covering 2022–2026 model years, with the most serious being a software defect in the engine control unit on 2022 vehicles where the system can falsely detect an error, shut down the hybrid drivetrain, and cause a sudden loss of drive power while in motion. The remaining three recalls all share the same underlying problem: water can enter the rear door handle switches, cause a short circuit, and allow a rear door to open unexpectedly while driving. This issue spans 2023–2026 model years, with an earlier repair campaign on 2023 vehicles proving incomplete and requiring a second fix. The risk in all cases is the same — an unlatched door swinging open while the vehicle is moving.
