My 2023 Prius Prime cannot be charged normally in hot weather without triggering a thermal-protection fault on its high-voltage charging system. Avondale Toyota diagnosed it in writing: "CODE P1CE996 CHARGER COOLING FAN REVOLUTION SENSOR COMPONENT INTERNAL FAILURE. THE ELECTRIC CHARGER ASSEMBLY HAS A INTERNAL OPEN CIRCUIT CAUSING IT TO BE INOP. RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT ADD PN# G9090-47061." Quote: $2,516.99 plus ~$200 diagnostic. The vehicle cannot verify its high-voltage charger's cooling fan is operating. In Phoenix heat (100F+), normal charging repeatedly sets the fault and check engine light. I verified by controlled testing: reduced-current charging in cool hours avoids the fault, but any normal charge in heat triggers it â in factory configuration, no obstruction. I am forced to restrict charging to nighttime reduced-current sessions to avoid operating the charger with unverified cooling. A plug-in vehicle that cannot safely complete a normal charge in summer conditions is a safety concern. This is a documented defect: Toyota TSB T-SB-0054-23 (8/7/23), "MIL ON With DTC P1CE996," states the charger assembly "has been modified to reduce the possibility of this condition," superseding part G9090-47060 with G9090-47061 â the part my dealer recommended. The TSB covers VINs before XXX; mine ([XXX]) is in range. Toyota denied coverage at all levels (Case XXX), citing third-owner status and declined unrelated services. A Brand Engagement supervisor acknowledged this identical repair would be fully covered under the PZEV emission warranty if registered in [XXX] â conceding it is a warrantable emissions defect â while denying it for Arizona registration. I request NHTSA review whether a recall or warranty extension is warranted for affected VINs. Hot-climate owners bear full cost of a documented defect on a high-voltage component. No crash, fire, or injury has occurred. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

TOYOTA PRIUS PRIME 2023 POWER TRAIN

There is an unexplained loss of 12V power from the 12V battery, and the car will not start. This was reported to the local Toyota dealership on 12/5/25. The car had to be jumped in order to drive it to the dealership/service department. They said the 12V battery was fully charged when they inspected it and there was no parasitic drain on the the battery. They inspected the battery again on 12/30/25 during a routine scheduled service and the 12V battery was good. We have since experienced the inability to start the car on the following dates:  1/10/2026, 2/5/2026, 2/20/2026, 2/22/2026, 2/23/2026. On each of the before mentioned incidents that car had to be jumped by an auxiliary battery pack to get the car to start. We have contact the Toyota dealership again and have a scheduled appointment for 2/25/2026. The dealership had told us that the battery has check out good earlier and they can't replace the 12V battery under the 3 year/36,000 warranty and will need to get Toyota Corporation involved. The car presently has 31,682 miles and it was purchased on 9/19/2023.
