Reported risk: On certain vehicles, the main relay contacts in the Power Relay Assembly located underneath the rear seat may have an inadequate connection.

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.
