Toyota during manufacturing, a scratch may have occurred inside of the electrically driven water pump at the coil wire.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the hybrid propulsion system inverter. Here is what owners need to know.
During manufacturing, a scratch may have occurred inside of the electrically driven water pump at the coil wire. The coil wire may corrode at the scratched portion.
The corroded coil wire may break and the water pump could stop. The corroded coil wire could cause a short circuit between coil wires and a possible open fuse, creating a stall-like condition of the hybrid system while the vehicle is being driven.
Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will replace the electric water pump, free of charge.
