    That, unfortunately, is the stock condition. Ours looks the same. There's a cover available, maybe it's stock on Japan models?

    That's how it is, there's nothing missing.

    There is a cover that is available. I did a quick search and here it is, it fits both the Prius v and regular liftback:

    If you look hard enough, you'll find more exposed wires. They're everywhere. ;)

    I agree that it looks like something's missing there. Dust, dirt, grit, and possibly water or salt getting into those wiring terminations can't do any good. Therefore, I covered that area and another similar spot with small polyethylene bags, tied in place.
