What is a recall?
When a manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determines that a vehicle creates an unreasonable risk to safety or fails to meet minimum safety standards, the manufacturer is required to fix that vehicle at no cost to the owner. That can be done by repairing it, replacing it, offering a refund (for equipment) or, in rare cases, repurchasing the car.

If your vehicle is included in this recall, it is very important that you get it fixed as soon as possible given the potential danger to you and your passengers if it is not addressed. You should receive a separate letter in the mail from the vehicle manufacturer, notifying you of the recall and explaining when the remedy will be available, whom to contact to repair your vehicle, and to remind you that the repair will be done at no charge to you.

Prius Recalled for Stalling Out Instead of Limping Home

Toyota is recalling 2.4 million Prius and Prius v vehicles worldwide to fix a problem with the hybrid system’s “limp home” mode.
The Prius and Prius v are designed to enter limp mode, also called fail-safe mode, when the hybrid systems have faults. Toyota says the recall is necessary because the cars can fail to enter limp mode as intended when the hybrid systems have problems.
Instead of limping home the cars will suddenly lose power and stall out. Toyota insists that power steering and braking will still work, but even with those systems on a stall at high speeds can be very dangerous.
If “limp home” problems sound familiar, you may be thinking of recalls made in 2014 and 2015 for similar problems. Toyota says previous recalls did not anticipate this new condition remedied with this recall. Geez.
The fix is a simple software update. Let’s hope it’s the last one needed.

Hello!
I noticed a good amount of threads reporting issue on model 3 from day 1. I'm quite sure that it's one
of those cases when you stay silent if everything good and speak up when not, but I'd like to get
some numbers :)
Cheers!

I posted a while back about my car failing to start - some called me a troll/shill haha! My Model 3
was in service for a very depressing 12 days! (invoice attached) Yes, I had a nice Model S (70D :/) to
drive, but I wanted MY car back. And let me tell you - to me - this car is absolutely worth the wait and
worth the headache!
I'm sure this is a personal preference but after being in the 3, the model S cabin just feels so, dated.
The 3 is sleek, modern, minimal. I absolutely prefer having the big, beautiful center screen and
leaving the space in front of me free and clear. I think its actually easier to see pertinent info. The 3
somehow feels more spacious than the S. I felt too big for the Model S cabin (I'm 6'1), I feel right at
home in the Model 3. And the drive - wow! The reviews were right, this car is exciting to drive. The
AWD Performance is going to be something else - I may need to upgrade in two years.
How about the screen? oh my. This thing is smooth as silk, FAST and beautiful. The way the
navigation maps work to follow your route, zoom in and out when needed, all so smooth and perfect
is amazing. By the way, the new maps - same route as google every time - not like the useless
routing in the my wife's Model X. Oh and by the way - the EAP 2.5 in the Model 3 functions better
than the AP 2 in our Model X AND the AP 1 in my loaner Model S.
I don't seem to have any of the common complaints:
Rough ride? - Nope not to me, feels low and sporty
Wind noise? - Not more so than any other car I have driven, including my wife's X.
Fit and Finish issues? - I'm not the most picky person but other than one small thing (which
I'm not even sure is an issue) everything is perfect
Missing Alcantara - I was bummed about this at first but after driving a 4 year old Model S
and seeing the way it aged, I think I prefer the new material
Touch Screen Controls are Clumsy / UI sucks - Not at all. Again, maybe personal preference,
but after a few days in the car, I love the UI. Much better to me than the S / X UI. Even
adjusting the cruise speed is really very easy now. I love no buttons, I love minimal stalks.
This car is the future. Now I just hope it doesn't strand me 200 miles from home again! :cool:
