Potential Glitch on Prius Hybrid Cars, Toyota Make a Recall
Sponsored Links
As reported by Associated Press, on Thursday, Toyota Motor Corp. said that they are recalling 75,000 Prius gas-electric hybrid cars because their engines can stall due to an electrical problem. The potential glitch is causing a dashboard warning lights in popular Prius hybrids to illuminate, which can prompt the vehicles to enter a “fail safe” mode that may cause their gasoline engines to stall. The vehicle’s electric motor will continue operating in a limited capacity, so drivers can steer to the side of the road. The gasoline engine may start working again if the driver restarts the vehicle.
Involved in the recall are some 2004 and early 2005 model year Prius cars. The cars have a gas engine as well as a battery-powered electric motor that can run separately or together to save fuel.
Toyota dealers will repair affected vehicles for free. The vehicles may need to have their software reprogrammed. Dealers may also apply a waterproof grease that will prevent water from getting into the electrical system.
