This causes continuous, heavy parasitic drain on the 12V auxiliary battery, causing chronic low-voltage state across critical systems. The 12V auxiliary network supplies power to the primary control units, CAN-bus communication modules, and dynamic stability systems. Operating under chronic low-voltage causes system instability, erratic sensor processing, voltage brownouts, and rapid degradation of the 12V battery. In severe traffic or isolated operations, a depleted 12V battery creates a distinct safety hazard, including sudden loss of propulsion control, electrical failure, and stranded conditions. Toyota acknowledged this software logic flaw internally under Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0054-24. However, because Toyota classifies this defect as a TSB rather than a mandatory safety recall, owners are left vulnerable to unexpected low-voltage electrical failures on public roads and are forced to pay out-of-pocket for an ECU reflash to repair a pre-existing manufacturing defect. This issue requires a mandatory federal safety investigation and zero-cost recall to update all affected control modules.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2023","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"PRIUS PRIME","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
