    Have we ever heard of a Canadian Prii needing a new HV batt yet?

    I apologize for being the last one to understand this, but I wanted to get clarification about the extended EGR warranty.

    If I'm in the US, is my '14's EGR covered against carbon build up until '24?

    Does our 2005 count? although we traded it in for a 2016 Prius instead.

    It should be covered under warranty. Cause its a part of the emission. But its also written there that a failure code is needes. Well next saturday im going to dealer here in l.a and i have no check engine nor code. I think i can get them to do it for free.

    A couple of thoughts:

    1. (and sorry for getting chauvinist, protectionist) The initial premise of this thread was Canadian Warranty. That said, it's a small world, and a lot of 3rd gen Prius in the States are going to be getting this.

    I'm not sure: IS there a US Warranty Extension on the EGR? I did a half-hearted search, didn't find anything. Which is surprising, with the Inverter recall the US got a Warranty Extension, IIRC it never happened in Canada?

    2. Going into a US dealership, citing a Canadian Warranty Extension, one that mentions symptoms/codes, I think you're going to find it less than smooth sailing.

    And: be careful what you wish for. This is a tough but doable DIY, somewhat time consuming and painstaking, that can be done with no outlay for parts, even gaskets if you're careful. Just a few "shop supplies". But it takes time and effort, which are commodities in short supply for rushed dealership mechanics.

    Amos, I see you're in LA. Did you receive a letter for an EGR extended warranty for 10 years?

    Nothing from dealer . But i took it that @Mendel Leisk document posted for a canada warranty will hold over here too cause we have the most stricted emission requirements here. I will try to find time and go to culver city toyota this coming saturday. Which dealer is closer to you.

    Amos, I’m hoping you find good news for us. But I’m not getting hopes up unless there are forum members who actually received this letter in the US.

    On an unrelated note, did Canada and other countries receive the IPM extension that we received in the US?

    Per my post #26, I believe no. We did get the inverter software update, but no warranty extension.

    We got the IPM extension. Unless I was dreaming about it. I don't usually dream about car stuff. ;) I think I posted it.

    My fellow prius owners.
    My car is at the dealer now for the egr cooler issues.
    Here is what i got from them.
    Replacing egr cooler including egr valve.all for free replaced under emission warranty.
    The emission warranty in cali is 150k miles/10 yrs. So i was told by dealer.
    IM and throttle body clean Not covered under warranty cause not a part of the emission. Dealer wants $300 for the clean job of those two items. I declined..
    I just want to thank @Mendel Leisk for all that documentation posted bout that warranty repair.

    Thanks for reporting. Information, like this, is the best part of this forum. Since I'm in a non CARB state, I'll assume that my warranty is 8/100k, until I hear otherwise.
