    Just had the inverter pump replaced under the recal. l Front page of the service receipt shows everything that was done - two parts and new coolant. On the second page, it said "Alignment". The shop is closed now so I can't call them to find out if they did one or what that means. Anybody had their wheels aligned as part of the inverter pump replacement?

    No, and they don't go anywhere near the suspension so can't imagine why you would need an alignment.

    Thanks guys, didn't think so but seeing as they remove the front bumper to change a light bulb, who knows what they would get into when they replace the inverter pump!

    Everything is running well, though.

    I just did this pump replacement - afterwards I _DID_ need an alignment. My Prius, on the other hand, was just fine. ;-)

    Now that's just funny. Think I'll "get aligned" when I go home tonight, hmmm, break out some of the homebrew, or try to finish the scotch before the kids show up........
