Refer to Dealer Inventory Procedures section for more details.

On September 22, 2021, ToyotaeBay filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on certain 2022 model year Prius and Prius Prime vehicles

 

Condition

In the involved vehicles, a software error can cause a control computer (hybrid vehicle ECU) to erroneously determine that it does not have the correct information about the transmission position if the position changes during a short window of time when the computer is checking this information. If this occurs, warning lights will illuminate and the hybrid system will shut down resulting in loss of motive power while driving. If the vehicle loses motive power while being driven at a higher speed, there could be an increased risk of a crash.

 

Remedy

Any authorized ToyotaeBay dealer will update the hybrid vehicle ECU software to correct the programming in the hybrid vehicle ECU’s shift monitoring logic FREE OF CHARGE.

 

Covered Vehicles

There are approximately 8,500 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. None of the vehicles covered by this Safety Recall were distributed to Puerto Rico.

 

Owner Letter Mailing Date

ToyotaeBay will notify owners by late November 2021. A sample of the owner notification letter has been included for your reference.

ToyotaeBay makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a vehicle that was sold prior to the Safety Recall announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle.

Please note that only owners of the covered vehicles will be notified. If you are contacted by an owner who has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS prior to performing repairs. Dealers should perform the repair as outlined in the Technical Instructions found on TIS.

 

New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory

There are approximately 250 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of September 21, 2021.

 

Inspection Reminder Mirror Hang Tags for Covered Vehicles in New Dealer Stock

To easily recognize vehicles involved in this Safety Recall, each dealership should utilize Inspection Reminder Hang Tags. Inside the vehicle’s glove box are stickers containing the VIN. Apply one of these stickers to the hang tag and install the hang tag in the vehicle. A sample copy of the Inspection Reminder Hang Tag has been included for your reference.

 

Pre-Owned Vehicles in Dealer Inventory

ToyotaeBay typically requests that dealers NOT deliver any pre-owned vehicles in dealer inventory that are covered by a Safety Recall unless the defect has been remedied. In this case, until remedy parts are available, delivery of a pre-owned vehicle is acceptable if disclosed to the customer that the vehicle is involved in this Safety  Recall and that the remedy is currently being prepared by ToyotaeBay.

ToyotaeBay expects dealers to use the attached Customer Contact and Vehicle Disclosure Form to obtain vehicle buyer information. Dealers are expected to provide a copy of the completed form, along with the most current FAQ, to the vehicle buyer. ToyotaeBay and the dealer may use this information to contact the customer when the remedy becomes available.

Keep the completed form on file at the dealership and send a copy to quality_compliance@toyotaeBay.com. In the subject line of the email, state “Disclosure Form 21TA07” and include the VIN.

NOTE: Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/).

Note:

(1) Although the involved vehicles are within the above production period range, not all vehicles in this range were sold in the U.S.

(2) This issue only affects vehicles equipped with a hybrid vehicle ECU that contains the programming error described in this report.  Other ToyotaeBay or Lexus vehicles sold in the U.S. are not equipped with those hybrid vehicle ECUs.

 

Total Number of Vehicles Potentially Involved:

8,411

 

Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:

100% of the involved vehicles contain a hybrid vehicle ECU with the programming error described in this report.  Whether the issue, in each case, will actually lead to a hybrid system shut down while driving at higher speeds depends on whether the driver shifts the transmission such that the shifter position status signal happens to change during an approximately 0.1 millisecond window and the vehicle operating conditions at that time.

 

Description of Problem:

The subject vehicles are equipped with a hybrid vehicle ECU which, among other tasks, validates a signal reporting the transmission shift position by checking that the signal status remains consistent within an approximately 0.1 millisecond window during each check.  Due to incorrect programming for this task, the hybrid vehicle ECU can incorrectly determine that this signal is erroneous if the shifter position status happens to change during this approximately 0.1 millisecond window.  If this occurs, warning lights will illuminate and the hybrid system will shut down, resulting in loss of the motive power.  If the vehicle loses motive power while being driven at a higher speed, there could be an increased risk of a crash.

 

Chronology of Principal Events:

July – August 2021

In early July 2021, ToyotaeBay received the first field report alleging warning lights illuminated on a subject vehicle in Japan.  The dealer inspected the vehicle and found a DTC indicating hybrid vehicle ECU “Monitoring Processor Unexpected Operation.”  The hybrid vehicle ECU from this vehicle was recovered to the supplier for investigation.  However, the supplier could not identify any abnormalities with the ECU.

 

ToyotaeBay investigated the freeze frame data collected from this vehicle to better understand the potential vehicle operating conditions around the time that the hybrid vehicle ECU “Monitoring Processor Unexpected Operation” DTC occurred.  It was identified that this DTC was set while the vehicle was stationary and just after the vehicle was shifted from Park to Drive.  Through freeze frame data and the DTC detection criteria analysis, it was hypothesized that the data indicated an abnormal shift condition may have occurred and the hybrid system shut down could result from that condition.

 

ToyotaeBay searched for and identified other cases of alleging that certain warning lights illuminated and a hybrid system shutdown.  These cases involved hybrid system shutdown occurring at lower speeds.  ToyotaeBay analyzed the available freeze frame data for these cases.  Through this search and analysis, ToyotaeBay identified that there were some cases in the Japan market where this same condition may have occurred when shifting the vehicle.  However, in these cases, the shifting patterns were not limited to D and P (e.g., the patterns included shifting from D to N or D to R).

 

Based on the general conditions that were observed from the above cases, the supplier began conducting tests in an attempt to duplicate the DTC, warning lights illumination, and hybrid system shutdown when shifting the vehicle.  At this time, the condition could not be duplicated.  ToyotaeBay determined that additional analysis was needed to help narrow the potential conditions to be investigated.

 

ToyotaeBay began reviewing the portions of the hybrid vehicle ECU logic that could prompt the aforementioned DTC.  Based on this review, ToyotaeBay identified that a validation check occurs on the transmission shift position signal and that the ECU logic in the subject vehicles would set the aforementioned DTC after this signal fails the validation check only one time.  This review also identified that other ECUs (in vehicles other than the subject vehicles) had a different logic for this validation check (i.e., they require this signal to fail the validation check more than one time).

 

Based on this new information, the supplier continued tests with narrower conditions to attempt to duplicate the failure.

 

September 2021

In early September 2021, the supplier duplicated the failure in simulation testing.  Based on the result of the tests, ToyotaeBay identified that there is a possibility that the hybrid vehicle ECU could incorrectly determine that transmission shift position signal is erroneous if the shifter position status happens to be changed during an approximate 0.1 millisecond window in which the hybrid vehicle ECU validates that signal.  This prompts the aforementioned DTC.  It also causes warning lights to illuminate and a hybrid system shutdown to occur, resulting in a loss of motive power.

 

Based on additional analyses of the investigation information available at this point, it was also identified that the circumstances needed to create this condition could occur when shifting the vehicle from any position, such as shifting from D to B, which is an operation that could be performed by a vehicle operator while driving at higher speeds.  Thus, ToyotaeBay determined that it is possible that this condition could lead to a loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds.

 

September 16, 2021

Based on the results of the above investigation, ToyotaeBay decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall campaign.

 

As of September 16, 2021 based on a diligent review of records, ToyotaeBay’s best engineering judgment is that there is 1 field report (received on August 24, 2021) and 0 warranty claims that have been received from U.S. sources that relate or may relate to this condition and which were considered in the decision to submit this report.

 

Description of Corrective Repair Action:

All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a ToyotaeBay dealer.  For all involved vehicles, dealers will update the hybrid vehicle ECU software to correct the programming in the hybrid vehicle ECU’s shift monitoring logic.

 

Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies:

As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the ToyotaeBay New Vehicle Limited Warranty (“Warranty”), all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under ToyotaeBay’s Warranty.

 

Recall Schedule:

Notifications to owners of the affected vehicles will occur by November 20, 2021.  A copy of the draft owner notification will be submitted as soon as it is available.

 

Distributor/Dealer Notification Schedule:

Notifications to distributors/dealers will be sent on September 22, 2021.  Copies of dealer communications will be submitted as they are issued.
