The strut mounting insulators on these specific vehicles may crack. To remedy this potential condition Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign to replace the strut mounting insulators with new ones at no charge for parts or labor.

Prius doesn’t actually have a transmission, because there are no gears and the power carriers are permanently engaged. The illustration you see above is a simplified diagram of what Prius has for the transfer of power instead. It very closely resembles another component found in all vehicles, a differential. The only difference is that there are multiple sources of power, rather than just one; hence the name “Power-Split-Device”. And to keep references simple, you may call it the “PSD”.

ABS WArning Light Anti-lock Braking works with your braking system to prevent wheels from locking, as well as traction control, brake assist and electronic stability control. When the ignition is turned on, this light should illuminate briefly to let you know the system is running properly. If it illuminates while driving, this indicates that there is an issue. Normal braking is still operational (without ABS).

With less transmission movement you’ll have less drivetrain slop as well, resulting in more power transmitted to the wheels. Upgraded engine mounts are recommended to be used in conjunction. Below are our installation guidelines for this item. Please review them carefully before attempting to install this product.

Pliers
Flat and phillips head screwdriver
10mm socket & suitable ratchet
Dremel or Stanley knife
10mm spanner (ideally a ratchet spanner)
