## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain 2016 Prius vehicles.  A capacitor within the hybrid system may not have been properly bolted to the inverter housing.


## What can happen

If the capacitor was not properly secured, vibrations from driving the vehicle may damage the capacitor, shutting down the hybrid system, causing a loss of motive power and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the inverter, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin by early December 2017.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331.  Toyota's number for this recall is H0U.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
