2017 TOYOTA PRIUS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Toyota Prius has 3 recalls, the most serious involving two separate wiring problems: a damaged harness connection that can shut down the hybrid drive system and cut power to the wheels, and a wire harness that can wear against a cover near the hybrid power control unit and cause an electrical short that may start a fire. Note that the drive system shutdown issue only affects vehicles that had seat heaters installed at the port facility. On the mechanical side, the foot-operated parking brake cable can disengage from its mechanism, and if the transmission is left in any gear other than Park with the ignition on, the vehicle can roll unexpectedly.
