The issue

On certain vehicles, the main relay contacts in the Power Relay Assembly located underneath the rear seat may have an inadequate connection. This could increase electrical resistance and generate heat, increasing the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the Power Relay Assembly for signs of thermal damage. If no thermal damage is found, the main relay will be replaced. If signs of thermal damage exist, the Power Relay Assembly will be replaced. Note: This problem may cause the Illumination of the HEV warning light while driving and/or an inability to start the vehicle.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les contacts relais principaux du relais d'alimentation sous le siège arrière pourraient avoir un branchement inadéquat. Cela pourrait augmenter la résistance électrique et produire de la chaleur, ce qui augmenterait les risques d'un incendie blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter le relais d'alimentation à la recherche de signes de dommages thermiques. Si on ne détecte aucun dommage thermique, le relais principal sera remplacé. S'il y a des signes de dommages thermiques, le relais d'alimentation sera remplacé. Note : Ce problème peut faire allumer le voyant d'avertissement HEV pendant que le véhicule roule ou empêcher de démarrer le véhicule.
