Toyota is recalling more than 1 million of its hybrid vehicles.
A potential risk of fire from possible wearing away of wire harnesses connected to the cars’ power units has led the Japanese auto major to recall its Prius, Prius plug-in hybrid and C-HR SUV models. Recalled cars were produced between June 2015 and May 2018.
Japan accounts for more than 50% of the vehicles recalled, while the U.S. has under 200,000 of them, and the remaining are in Europe and other markets.
This follows Toyota’s recall of more than 1.7 million vehicles in 2016 over parking brakes and airbags issues.
