    In the PDF link given in post #1 of this thread, see pages 8 to 11 for the 2010 model year letter, or pages 12 to 14 for the 2011 to 2015 model years.

    Mine was replaced last week as a recall. All the rite codes have to throw. There is 3 of them but I don't remember and it's a v.
    Best the brakes have ever felt.....New Accumulator and Master Cylinder
    And another Inverter firmware update.

    Plus when it went out the brakes were terrible.... much worse than 1960's car without power brakes.
    Super Dangerous...... if you were on the Interstate and this happened and traffic slowed down you would hit someone for sure.

    I've have the inverter and the brakes go out on this while driving.

    This is the top Google result when looking for the ZJB support program, so posting my questions here.

    Is it worth paying out of pocket for these fixes to the brake booster and pump? Just happened to my 2014 Prius at 97k miles, 3 months outside of the 10 year window. I haven't been given a quote yet, but want to be prepared before going in.

    Are there other expensive issues that these Gen 3 Priuses have a good likelihood of encountering besides this one? If not, I would definitely consider doing the repairs so that I could hopefully get several more years of trouble-free service from this car.

    The Headgasket is 99% sure to blow.
    Oil burning possibility
    Traction Battery for sure.
    Thousands in repairs coming up.

    At 190k mi head gasket, EGR clogging, battery, and rear brakes will fail. It's very worth fixing at your low mileage
