Speedracer · 11-18-2004, 09:17 PM

Just released yesterday from Toyota... This looks a like effect large number of the cars....
Total 42,841 Japanese Prius effected
Production date: inbetween May28th 2004 to June 11th 2005
For: Brake Light Switch & Fuel Pump
Toyota Recall Website
----------------------------------
1. Circumstance of trouble
(1) Because form of the contact point section for the electric load which works in the contact point of the switch for the brake lamp is inadequate, oxide is formed by the contact point and there are some which contact resistance increases. Because of that, the switch becomes continuity defective, there is a possibility the brake lamp stopping lighting up.
(2) Because removal of the substance/material is insufficient when producing the electromotive type fuel pump, wiring coating of the internal motor being damaged by the substance/material, it shorts, the fuse of the fuel pump circuit is cut off, there are times when the motor brush wears abnormally. Because of that, the fuel pump stops operating, there is a possibility the engine not be able to restart stopping and becoming.

2. Contents of improvement
(1) all vehicle and the particular switch are exchanged with the measure item.
(2) all vehicle and the particular fuel pump are exchanged with the non-defective item.
