The auto manufacturer, Toyota, has issued a recall for 2.4 million Prius hybrids due to a stalling risk. The recall involves certain 2010-2014 Prius hybrids and some 2012-2014 Prius V hybrids.

The manufacturer says the stalling risk is due to the vehicle failing to enter a fail-safe driving mode in response to a hybrid system fault.  Toyota says the vehicle can lose power and stall while the power steering and braking would remain working.

Toyota will fix the issue with a software update for free.

Toyota has not released if there have been any reports of crashes or injuries due to the defect.

Recovering compensation after an injury from a defective product

It is a manufacturer’s responsibility to make sure their products and vehicles are safe for consumers.  If someone is injured due to a defective product or vehicle, a product liability claim may exist.  A claim may be pursued to pay for damages caused by the defective product such as medical bills, missed time from work and pain and suffering.
