Toyota Ireland recalls 700 Prius cars

Toyota Ireland has confirmed the voluntary recall of 700 Prius hybrid cars, writes Trish Whelan.

The vehicles were manufactured between March 2009 and February 2014.

The recall involves an issue with the software used to control the boost converter in the Intelligent Power Module (IPM). The IPM is part of the inverter assembly and the hybrid system. Toyota will update the IPM software on all involved vehicles.

Toyota Ireland will be writing directly to those owners involved in the recall to arrange to have their vehicles updated by their local dealer at a time convenient for them and at no cost to the owner.

In the meantime, should a Toyota owner have a query, they can contact Toyota Ireland on 01 4190222 or www.toyota.ie
