What is this? Toyota cars (Prius and PHEV models) have a rear door switch that may let water in. This can cause a short circuit and make the door open by itself.
What's happening? The switch’s seal can wear out over time. Water can get in during heavy splashes and cause problems.
Does this affect me? If you own or use a Prius or PHEV in Portugal, Bulgaria, France, Hungary, or Slovenia, this issue may apply to you.
What should I do? Take your car to a Toyota dealer to check and fix the switch. Ask your mechanic or Toyota for help.
