This bulletin applies to 2012-2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid models, regarding the hybrid propulsion system. Toyota announced a recall of certain 2012-2015 Prius Plug-In Hybrid vehicles built from July 2011 to January 2015 because the hybrid battery contains an Electric Vehicle (EV) fuse that may fracture after repeated high-load driving conditions such as climbing long hills.

The failed fuse may cause the hybrid system to shut down, resulting in the loss of power.
