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.
Toyota is recalling certain Prius C vehicles because the DC-DC converter may fail. If it fails, the vehicle's smaller battery stops getting power from the converter, which can cause the car to lose the ability to drive. This means the vehicle could unexpectedly stop moving while you are driving it.
Some Toyota Prius C vehicles sold in Puerto Rico may be missing a label that identifies the front passenger air bag and shows the recommended seating positions for children. Without this label attached to the vehicle, occupants may not have the information they need to know how to properly seat and restrain children, or to follow the correct guidance for that passenger seat.
