{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2017558","date":"2017-11-15","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Powertrain","summary":"On certain plug-in hybrid vehicles, the electric vehicle (EV) hybrid battery's fuse could be subjected to excessive thermal stress and potentially fracture if the vehicle is operated by the electric motor under high-load driving conditions, such as during a long ascent. This would illuminate warning lights and warning messages in the instrument cluster, and in some cases cause the vehicle to enter a fail-safe mode resulting in reduced motive power. In other cases, the hybrid system could shut down, resulting in loss of motive power, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the EV fuse with a new one of an improved design.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"SRC R46","part_number":null,"units":363,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Groupe motopropulseur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules hybrides rechargeables, le fusible de la batterie du système hybride pourrait être soumis à des contraintes thermiques excessives et se briser lorsque le véhicule est propulsé par le moteur électrique dans des conditions de conduite exigeant une forte charge, p. ex. lors d'une longue montée, ce qui entraînerait l'affichage de voyants et de messages d'avertissement sur le groupe d'instruments. Dans certains cas, le véhicule pourrait passer en mode de conduite à sûreté intégrée, ce qui réduirait la puissance motrice. Dans d'autres cas, le système hybride pourrait cesser de fonctionner et causer une perte de puissance motrice, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le fusible par un nouveau fusible de conception améliorée."},"vehicles":[{"year":2012,"make":"TOYOTA","model":"PRIUS","vehicle_id":"2012_toyota_prius","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2013,"make":"TOYOTA","model":"PRIUS","vehicle_id":"2013_toyota_prius","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2014,"make":"TOYOTA","model":"PRIUS","vehicle_id":"2014_toyota_prius","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2015,"make":"TOYOTA","model":"PRIUS","vehicle_id":"2015_toyota_prius","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2017558"}
