Toyota capacitor within the hybrid system may not have been properly bolted to the inverter housing.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the hybrid propulsion system inverter. Here is what owners need to know.
A capacitor within the hybrid system may not have been properly bolted to the inverter housing.
If the capacitor was not properly secured, vibrations from driving the vehicle may damage the capacitor, shutting down the hybrid system, causing a loss of motive power and increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the inverter, free of charge.
