IV. BACKGROUND

The involved vehicles were designed to enter a failsafe driving mode in response to certain hybrid system faults. ToyotaeBay has found that in rare situations, the vehicle may not enter a fail-safe driving mode as intended. If this occurs, the vehicle could lose power and stall.  While power steering and braking would remain operational, a vehicle stall while driving at higher speeds could increase the risk of a crash.
