    Hello,

    I am about to take my Prius for her 2nd service (20k interval), and since I have been keeping an eye on all TSBs being issued as per this website, especially the squeaking brake while reversing and the blurry A/C screen, I asked my local dealer to perform all TSBs issued against the Prius.

    However, to my surprise, my dealer said they knew nothing about these TSBs I mentioned (besides the brake software update, which was recalled).

    I emailed Toyota Australia and listed all 4 TSBs with their # (except for the brake software issue), but they are yet to respond.

    The question is, are all these TSBs being discussed here valid for all Prius, or are they just for US ones?

    Anyone down under have similar experience?

    Our understanding is Pruis production from January included the brake update. As for the others, I don't know. Perhaps you could ask for the version of brake software and compare it to what we've had posted here?

    Thanks for your information. In regards to the A/C screen, I guess I could live with it being hard to read but the squeaking sounds while the car is being driven/reverse after a cold start is really annoying. You would have thought this TSB should apply to all Prius since it has been doing on mine (built Aug-2009) on day one.

    Still awaiting Toyota Australia's response...
