Inverter fried in 2010 Prius in Ottawa Canada

What's the km's. If you're under 160,000 km's, I'm thinking you should be ok, it's part of the hybrid system warranty, still covered? From page 7 of Owner's Manual Supplement:



If the above applies: seems like the dealership has really dropped the ball. They're saying they're going to try to get goodwill from Toyota Canada? When it's warrantied?

I'm not sure what those other parts were, but hopefully you can be reimbursed on that, perhaps all of it is in the "hybrid-related" category?

 

all the best!

 

From memory, I thought the recall included a "forever" warranty on the inverter. Most received a letter from Toyota stating this about 6 months after the recall was performed. Suggest searching the forums for info to present to the dealer.

 

That mighta been just in the 'States? At any rate, think the original warranty should still be in effect.

 

Did Toyota Canada end up covering it for you? I am in the same situation with my 2010 Prius and awaiting Toyota Canada to make a decision on whether they will cover it (recall was done)

 

The inverter warranty extension also applies to Canada. I got the letter.

You should also be covered.

 

Just now I assume?

 

I just got that word Toyota Canada is covering mine (2010 Prius with 207,000KM) , however the dealership told me the warranty on the inverter was never extended to Canada and Toyota Canada is doing it as a special exception for me. Seems strange, no one at the dealership seems to know much. However now waiting on my inverter which is apparently back ordered from Japan, they initially told me could be 2 - 3 months before part comes in, but called me back today and are now saying they are hoping to have it Monday.

 

Sounds like most dealers ("I know NOTHING!!"). Love the comment "not covered in Canada" when I got a letter saying it was!

 

Any chance you still have a copy of the letter, I'd love to show it to the dealership to see what they say. I'm sure they've told other Prius owners the same thing and only reason I got it covered is because I didn't give up.

 

Long since "recycled". The dealer knows the letter went out. They're just playing "stupid", though I suspect it's easy (comes naturally).

 

That I got; I'd actually near-forgot about it. It was a case of thanks-but-no-thanks though: I dove in and cleaned mine myself. @NutzAboutBolts was indespensible, both for how-to, and to help you gauge the complexity.

On the face of it it would seem foolhardy, to turn up your nose at a free offer. but it seems to me there's too many provisos to Toyota Canada's offer. And: it's a waste of energy and resources: the dealerships I assume would just replace parts, and all that's really needed is a little patient cleaning. And the install of an Oil Catch Can as well...
