    Anyone else receive the complimentary extended warranty for the intelligent power module in the mail?

    Did yours say you had to have the safety recall (EOE) performed?

    Warranty Enhancement Notification? | PriusChat

    IIRC, PiPs werent part of that safety recall thing

    Nope, nothing about taking it in. Just a warranty extension.

    I did not get it either. The inverter must be different because it is able to handle 38 kW instead of 10-15kW in EV mode of a regular Prius.

    I found mine (not sure when it came). I saw it had the sticker for the owner's manual.

    I believe this is the reason - it is a different part.

    The PiP does not have an extended warranty on the inverter as far a the letter states. It just says "Prius", and running it through techinfo also returns no results for the shop PiP.

    I reran 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Prius PHV (as techinfo calls the PiP) through checking for special campaigns and CSPS (including recalls) and noting comes up. It may be in error. I ran my shop's PiP (2014) through, again nothing under it's campaign or warranty tab. The letter for the shop's 2011 Prius (non-PiP, just vanilla) doesn't exclude the PiP, but it is a VIN specific letter.

    I don't think the PiP is included.

    i'm confused here, some pip owners are getting a letter, but it doesn't apply to their car?

    It applied to my car, or more specifically a part in my car. :)

    Did you get a VIN specific letter? That would be great new for PiP owners and would confuse the heck out of me, as techinfo doesn't mention PiP at all.

    Did you own an earlier 3rd Gen maybe and the letter is for that?

    Good call. Yes, I owned a regular 3rd Gen previously and it is for that. Whoops, sorry guys.

    I never owned a Prius. When I get home, I'll post a pic of my letter/sticker.

    Ok, sorry for my tardiness, but I remembered to grab that letter from Toyota this morning. And although I never owned another Prius, we do have a 2011 Sienna. So it was a warranty extension, but for an oil cooler pipe. Sorry folks.
