    Recall 26TB03 is unrelated to the 2024 recall about the same thing -- apparently, the fix wasn't a fix.

    Here's the link to Toyota's page -- your dealer will install a fix to prevent the rear door switch from opening even if shorted.

    FFS, Toyota -- you're really fumbling the late 2020s :cautious:

    Guess this means stop-sale on '26s until this is installed in dealer units? May not -- fix can be supposedly done immediately, according to my Toyota app.

    And one wonders why we can't get any tire mfrs to make aftermarket 190/60-17s for us LE schlubs. Can't sell them :(

    Better to fix them than sell them broken as domestics may and have done... but FFS, Toyota.

    Wonder what the Gen5 owner who posted on here about sudden coolant loss with no explanation for where it went has an update yet? They posted last week on here and if that becomes a thing with other Gen5 than all the good will the Gen5 first created will be lost.

    FWIW, there hasn’t been a single recall on my 2021 Prius Prime Limited PHEV.

    Link? I looked. Is that the "fog" thread?
