Q4: What steps can I take to reduce the possibility of this condition from occurring until the remedy is performed?
A4: Until the remedy is performed, drivers should avoid placing a high load on the hybrid system by avoiding full throttle application, when possible. As indicated in your Owner’s Manual, Toyota does not recommend towing with your Prius, and we urge you to follow this recommendation to avoid placing a high load on the Hybrid System.
I think I "floor" the throttle at least several times during each drive. In fact, I just did it multiple times during my drive home. Based on this document, I wonder if I have done some serious damage to my inverter over the last 82,000 miles.
Anyway, if any of you own a Gen 3 Prius, I would probably get this update done sooner rather than later.
