Toyota says, "Your Prius sucks..."

"... bring it in so we can fix it."

If the update doesn't take, a control module would then need to be replaced, a fix taking about three hours. Dealers will be notified today, Toyota said.
The software problem causes a glitchy boost converter, which can lead to overheating that can, in turn, damage or deform transistors, Toyota said.
That can trigger warning lights or cause the car to enter a failsafe mode in which its engine power is reduced just enough to bring the car to the side of the road.

Yikes. That's one hell of a cause-and-effect chain right there...
