UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced a special service campaign (a.k.a. recall) to update the hybrid software of the third-generation Toyota Prius.
A total of 6,160 units of the Prius sold by UMWT and manufactured from 2009 to 2013 are involved in this recall, which “serves to provide an additional remedy to the vehicles involved in the previous recall announced in 2014.”
UMWT does not elaborate, but a quick search reveals that Toyota has just announced a recall of more than 2.4 million hybrid vehicles worldwide produced between October 2008 and November 2014. A fault in the system can cause the cars to lose power.
“While power steering and braking would remain operational, a vehicle stall while driving at higher speeds could increase the risk of a crash,” the company said, adding that “the remedy conducted then (previous recalls in 2014 and 2015) did not anticipate the new condition identified in this recall.” There have not been any reported cases in Malaysia.
UMWT will notify all affected vehicle owners to update the ECU programming at no charge. The process should take around an hour. Know someone who drives a third-gen Prius? Do help to notify them.

To all Honda Salesman and Honda fans, Dont think that it is too great. Just look at Honda Assembly Quality Malaysia and Honda Service Quality in Malaysia is very terrible. I know Honda Salesmen always bash Toyota, Mazda, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, Proton, Mercedes and even other carmakers. Moreover, Some Honda Fans, think that when we writing about Honda Service Quality in Malaysia and Honda Assembly Quality in Malaysia. Honda fans think that it is very useless and Honda Sales Malaysia to be top no.2 or no. 1 and so called as best selling car in Malaysia.. To all the readers, if Honda fans posting that Honda Sales Malaysia wanted to be top no.2 while Honda fans saying that it is not very important aboout bad service about Honda Malaysia and bad assembly quality about Honda Malaysia. Dont ever ever trust Honda Salesman and Honda Fans. Honda fans and Honda Salesmen are actually cheating to all the readers
Bradder,u from Jupiter?You really hate Honda.
This will not be habis for Toyota, Proton, BMW, Mercedes, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda and even other carmakers anymore. But surely, it will be Habis la for Honda now and their arrogant Honda salesmen. Nobody is touching Honda now. Honda Salesmen all crying. Honda Malaysia is known as Honda – The Power of Sucks. Bad luck to buy their cars. Lets talk about bad Service Quality in Honda Malaysia, Bad Assembly Quality in Honda Malaysia and Terrible Design for Upcoming Honda Models including Current Honda Civic
Firstly, after Honda Assemblypeople in Malaysia finish assembling install the Honda parts for Honda models, they didn’t even bother to check whether it has been secured or not. Or either, Honda Assemblypeople in Malaysia always use the fake parts to install for Honda models as many people complain that got many problems for Honda models after they bought for several months.
Secondly, after people service their Honda models, they felt that it is wasting times and money of servicing their Honda models as Honda service people in Malaysia either Honda service people in Malaysia didn’t service their Honda models properly or Honda service people in Malaysia didn’t even bother to service their Honda models.
Thirdly, upcoming Honda models front bumper design all copying from Current Honda Civic design, upcoming Honda models have no proportional at all. Also, Honda models rear bumper looks damn terrible. Aiyoo, I don’t know what kind current Honda designer are making.
Malaysians rather buy Hyundai, Toyota, Proton, Kia, BMW Mercedes, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Mazda, Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan and even other carmakers. Malaysians also already know that Honda Malaysia regard Malaysian lives as dirt and don’t care whether you die or not. This Honda – The Power of Dreams should be named as Honda – The Power of Sucks because Honda Service Quality in Malaysia and Honda Assembly Quality in Malaysia is so teruk.
Malaysians have now dignity. they know Honda Malaysia are big cheats. Charge so much for the car, yet compromise on our lives and safety of the family.
How Honda Malaysia? Still giving bad service and bad quality for Honda Malaysia Car Assembly?
Our lives not important Honda Malaysia?
The Honda Malaysia is a hugest failure. No need to write good comments a lot about Honda for upcoming Honda articles in paultan.org website. We as smart people said that Proton, Kia, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Mazda, Hyundai, Nissan, Peugoet, Renault and even other carmakers for service quality and assembly quality are much better than Honda Malaysia, even the apek jual ikan also said that too. So Honda Malaysia is dead.
Ben Yap and other Honda salesmen are also now hiding like chickens. They will come in here and Firstly, Ben Yap say that He got Civic who compares other carmakers and he also wanted Honda Malaysia to be top no.2 and top no.1. Besides that, Other Honda Salesmen also said that Honda Service Malaysia have good quality. Honda Salesmen are talking all the fake comments, especially for Ben Yap. Nobody is going to buy rubbish Honda in Malaysia. Even now, their Honda Malaysia Sales is always cheated and very biased as Honda Service Quality in Malaysia and Honda Assembly Quality in Malaysia is very terrible.
Very responsible. Good. Two thumbs up!
Actually Toyota already knew the problem before launch to market.
need proof to even consider your accusation
Does Proton bashers needs proof before laying accusations upon accusations onto that brand?
Nope, didn’t think so.
So why the bias to Toyota bashers?
I wonder, does the recall only applicable to under warranty prius or all prius (under and out of warranty)..
