Wow I didn't know that. That means the inverter in my 2010 Prius with 218k miles is still under warranty? That's fabulous!
But it's weird that several folks had to pay to replace their inverters as gen3 starts at 2010 so I assume all gen3 inverters are still under this 15yr unlimited miles warranty?

Yes they are covered if they have codes. Do not clear them. I hear Toyota checks forums looking for owners that talk smack about them when they don't know the score.

While they are still working on it, I heard Toyota knows that the inverter is flawed and replaced it silently.

Some folks change them not knowing they could have had a free Toyota repair. Probably because they don't want to go to a dealer. A few early failures on Prius v wagons were not covered at the time but were reimbursable if they were done by an authorized shop.

Inverters don't always fail in limp home mode. My inverter failed completely and suddenly. No Ready mode possible. It was tow truck time 60 miles from home.
