## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain 2012\-2015 Prius Plug\-in Hybrid vehicles.  The hybrid battery contains an Electric Vehicle \(EV\) fuse that may fracture after repeated high\-load driving conditions such as climbing long hills.


## What can happen

The failed fuse may cause the hybrid system to shut down resulting in the loss of power.  Loss of power while driving at higher speeds can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the EV fuse, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin January 8, 2018.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331.  Toyota's number for this recall is H0R.


## 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.
