    The dealer has quoted a price of 1200$ +500$ (for replacing fuse) to replace a part of the inverter.. Looks like the whole inverter doesn't need to be changed. Fingers crossed !!!!

    1. For $500, I assume that the fusible link assembly is being replaced. Did the dealer report which fusible link blew?
    2. I had not heard that Toyota repair philosophy allows replacement of any parts within the inverter. What is the exact name of this part?

    Good luck with your car's repair.

    Good to hear Toyota now offers an alternative to paying $4K MSRP (plus labor) for a replacement inverter.

    Wouldn't it have been less expensive to just replace the inverter with a used one?
