Service bulletins for the 2013 Toyota PRIUS
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

| Customer Support | 2020-11-23. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY. RE: This Customer Support Program provides coverage as it applies to the Intelligent Power Module (IPM). The specific condition covered by this program is failure of the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) located inside the inverter assembly of the hybrid system. This condition is indicated by hybrid system diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs): P0A94, P324E, P3004, and/or P0A1A that your dealer can find by use of a special diagnostic tool. If one or more of these DTCs are detected, various warning lamps on the instrument panel will also illuminate and the vehicle will enter fail safe driving mode. The vehicles covered under this Customer Support Program must first have Safety Recall 20TA10 performed. If the condition is verified, an appropriate remedy will be performed under the terms of this Customer Support Program Although the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) is covered by Toyota?s New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 8 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first), we at Toyota care about the customers? ownership experience. Toyota is providing additional coverage for repairs related to the Intelligent Power Module (IPM). |
