On September 22, 2021, Toyota 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 Toyota 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
Toyota will notify owners by late November 2021. A sample of the owner notification letter has been included for your reference.
Toyota 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.

MY2022 Toyota![]() | 89981-47S90 |
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 Toyota 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, Toyota 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.
Toyota 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.
Toyota 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. Toyota
analyzed the available freeze frame data for these cases. Through this search and analysis, Toyota
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. Toyota determined that additional analysis was needed to help narrow the potential conditions to be investigated.
Toyota began reviewing the portions of the hybrid vehicle ECU logic that could prompt the aforementioned DTC. Based on this review, Toyota
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, Toyota 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, Toyota 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, Toyota decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall campaign.
As of September 16, 2021 based on a diligent review of records, Toyota’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 Toyota 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 Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty (“Warranty”), all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota
’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.

Toyota has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2022 model year Prius and Prius Prime vehicles. You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner. What is the 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. What will Toyota do? Any authorized Toyota dealer will update the hybrid vehicle ECU software to correct the programming in the hybrid vehicle ECU’s shift monitoring logic FREE OF CHARGE. 21TA07 URGENT SAFETY RECALL This is an important Safety Recall. The remedy will be performed FREE OF CHARGE to you. What Should You Do? Please contact any authorized Toyota dealer to schedule an appointment to have the remedy performed as soon as possible.

Without the completion of this FREE Safety Recall Campaign the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will not allow your vehicle to be registered. State of California Regulations require Toyota to provide the Department of Motor Vehicles with a record of all vehicles that have not had the Safety Recall Campaign completed. Your Toyota dealer will provide you with a Vehicle Emissions Recall Proof of Correction Form after the campaign has been completed. Please ensure you retain this form, because the DMV may require that you supply proof that the campaign has been completed during your vehicle registration renewal process.

Toyota ha decidido que existe un defecto, que se relaciona con la seguridad de los vehículos de motor en ciertos vehículos Prius y Prius Prime de año 2022. Usted recibió esta notificación porque nuestros registros, que se basan principalmente en los datos del estado de registro y de título, indican que usted es el propietario actual. ¿Cuál es la condición? En los vehículos involucrados, un error de programa puede ocasionar que una computadora de control (ECU del vehículo híbrido) determine erróneamente que no tiene la información correcta sobre la posición de la transmisión si la posición cambia durante un lapso de tiempo corto cuando la computadora está verificando esta información. Si esto ocurre, las luces de advertencia se iluminarán y el sistema híbrido se apagará lo cual da como resultado la pérdida de energía motriz al conducir. Si el vehículo pierde energía motriz mientras se conduce a altas velocidades, podría haber un aumento en el riesgo de un choque. ¿Qué hará Toyota? Cualquier concesionario Toyota autorizado actualizará SIN CARGO el programa ECU del vehículo híbrido para corregir la programación en la lógica de monitoreo de cambios de la ECU del vehículo híbrido. 21TA07 English version on front side Versión en inglés en el frente RETIRO DE SEGURIDAD URGENTE Este es un Retiro de Seguridad importante.

NOTA: Estas luces se pueden iluminar por otras razones que no están relacionadas con este Retiro de Seguridad. ¿Qué pasa si vive en California y no se ha realizado este Retiro de Seguridad? El estado de California requiere que se completen las Campañas de Retiro de Seguridad / Campañas de Servicio sobre piezas relacionadas con emisiones antes de renovar el registro del vehículo. Además, el estado requiere que cada vehículo debe pasar una prueba de emisiones (Verificación de SMOG) cada dos años y antes de que se venda. Si no se completa esta Campaña de Retiro de Seguridad GRATUITA, la Junta de Recursos de Aire de California (CARB, por sus siglas en Inglés) no permitirá que se registre su vehículo. Los reglamentos del estado de California requieren que Toyota proporcione al Departamento de Vehículos de Motor un registro de todos los vehículos a los que no se les ha completado la Campaña de Retiro de Seguridad. Su concesionario Toyota le proporcionará un formulario de comprobante de corrección del Retiro de Seguridad de Emisiones de Vehículos después de que se complete la campaña.
