What Happened
Toyota has identified a safety defect involving the inverter assembly in certain hybrid vehicles. A bolt within the inverter assembly may not have been tightened properly during manufacturing. This issue can cause the vehicle to enter a reduced power mode or result in a complete loss of power to the wheels. Additionally, if the bolt becomes loose while the ignition is active, it could cause a short circuit.
Which Products Are Affected
The recall affects the following vehicle models and years:
- 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid
- 2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid
- 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid
What You Should Do
Toyota will notify affected owners by mail. Owners are advised to take their vehicle to a Toyota dealership for a professional inspection of the hybrid inverter assembly bolt. Dealers will tighten the bolt to the correct specification or, if necessary, replace the entire inverter assembly.
Why This Matters
A sudden loss of power to the wheels while driving can significantly increase the risk of a crash. Furthermore, a short circuit within the inverter assembly creates a potential fire hazard, posing a risk to vehicle occupants and bystanders.
