Speedracer · 10-15-2005, 04:36 AM

So past week Toyota Japan announced mass recall for 2003 and 2004 Prius

Its 2 recalls but depend on when the car is build

Toyota Recall Page

1) There are times when the inhalation air quantity at the time of engine starting decreases temporarily, as fail-safe function working with engine rpm decrease, the warning light lights up, there are times when it becomes travellikng by only electoric motor.

Solution: Reflash computer and install new program

This is recall effec to for build date start August 1st 2003 to October 13th 204

2) there are times when the moisture comes in contact with the terminal of the rotary sensor connector for the generator inside the trance axle, as fail-safe function working with resistance change, the warning light lights up, there are times when it becomes travelling by only electoric motor.

Solution: Grease connector

No, it is not a recall.
It is a special service campaign.

Please understand the difference between recall and service campaign.

There are substantial errors in the initial post here:

Take a look at the thread entitled:

The Official Prius SSC50P Campaign Doc

which will provide accurate information. The SSC is for 2004 and some 2005 Prii with certain VIN ranges which can be found in the above referenced posting in a 47-page downloadable .pdf document.

Yes. Any car manufactured after the dates in the SSC/Recall are automatically OK.

Okay, at this point there are like 5 parallel threads on this same topic...

.
and I've already confused myself as to which one I'd posted in previously,
and fired a followup into a different one. I suggest we pick ONE of
the above to continue discussion, and let the others terminate here.
How about the first of these, entitled "The Official Prius SSC50P
Campaign Doc", which seems to have the most hard info about it?
