2 recalls covering model years 2018. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Your Prius C has a part that takes power from the big hybrid battery and uses it to charge the small 12-volt battery that runs the car's electronics. On some of these cars that part can fail. When it does, the small battery stops getting charged, and the car can lose the ability to drive, possibly while you are out on the road. Toyota is replacing the part free of charge.
A sticker is missing. On these Toyota Prius C cars sold in Puerto Rico, the factory did not attach the label that warns about the front passenger airbag and tells you where children should ride. Nothing on the car is broken — but without that label, someone may put a child in the front seat where the airbag could hurt them in a crash. Toyota will mail replacement stick-on labels to owners at no cost.
