"Toyota Prius Recall: Rear Doors Pose Driving Hazard"

Toyota has issued a recall for 2023-2024 Prius and Prius Prime models due to a potential issue with the rear doors opening while driving caused by water entering and short-circuiting the electronic latches. Approximately 211,000 units are affected globally, with around 55,000 in the U.S. Toyota will replace the rear door opener switches for free and advises owners to enable the automatic locking feature. Concerns about passenger safety, especially for children and pets, have been raised, and owners can find more information on Toyota's recall website or through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
