## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain 2010\-2014 Toyota Prius and 2012\-2014 Toyota Prius V vehicles.  Excessive voltage in the Intelligent Power Module \(IPM\) within the inverter may cause the hybrid system to shut down, causing the vehicle to stall while being driven.


## What can happen

If the hybrid system shuts down unexpectedly, it can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the motor/generator control electronic control unit \(ECU\) and the hybrid control ECU as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began January 22, 2019.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-888\-270\-9371.  Toyota's number for this recall is J0V.  Note: The software updates in this recall are needed even if the vehicle had the software previously updated under recalls 14V\-053 or 15V\-449.


## 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.
