Injuries

Due to loss of control of the vehicle, the product poses a risk of accident. Given the improper moulding of the resin body of the crankshaft position sensor installed on the engine block, engine oil may penetrate the seal and enter the sensor wiring connector. In this condition, engine oil inside the sensor wiring connector could cause expansion due to the heat of the engine and could deform the sensor wiring connector. In the worst case, the connector may become disconnected, which could cause the engine to stall while driving and not be able to be restarted.

Category: Motor vehicles

Product: Passenger car Prius

Brand: Toyota

Name:

Type/number of model: Prius NHW11. The recall concerns vehicles, produced from 25 January 2000 to 20 May 2003, with VINs in the range JT1 53FU1# #0001001 to #0088335.

Batch number/Barcode:

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because if the steering wheel is repeatedly and strongly turned to the full-lock position, there is a possibility that the nuts securing the pinion shaft in the steering gearbox assembly may come loose. If the vehicle is continuously operated in this condition, the pinion shaft could become unstable and power generated by the electric motor may not be fully transmitted. This could result in a significantly increased steering effort being needed when making a left turn and could lead to a road accident.

Injuries

There is a possibility of an accident due to lose of control of vehicle. On certain Avensis vehicles with 1.6 and 1.8l petrol engine manufactured in United Kingdom, and Corolla and Prius vehicles manufactured in Japan, which are all equipped with Electric Motor assisted Power Steering [EMPS], there might be a possibility that connections may become lost due to insufficient strength at the intermediate shaft and sliding yoke, which connect the steering wheel to the steering gearbox assembly. This might happen during conditions such as when the steering wheel is turned repeatedly strongly to the full lock position (max. steering angle), right or left, or where the tires repeatedly strongly hit the curb when manoeuvring.

Voluntary measures: Voluntary corrective actions taken by the importer.

Injuries

Due to their insufficient hardness, the splines which connect the intermediate extension shaft of the steering system to the steering gear box may deform, develop increased backlash and eventually wear out, which could result in a loss of steering ability. This might happen if the steering wheel is frequently and forcefully turned to the full-lock position while driving at slow speed.

Injuries

The electrically-driven water pump which circulates coolant through the hybrid components, including the inverter assembly, may fail causing activation of the warning lights on the instrument panel of the PRIUS or a reduction in the motive power mode in the FCHV vehicles. In certain cases, a fuse may blow in the electric power supply circuit, causing the hybrid system to stop while the vehicle is being driven, which could lead to an accident.

Injuries

As a result of a problem with the brake pressure accumulator, nitrogen gas could leak from the brake pressure accumulator into the brake fluid and gradually cause the brake pedal stroke to become longer, resulting in decreased hydraulic pressure. This could result in increased stopping distances.
