Toyota recently issued a recall of Highlander Hybrid and Lexus cars that were manufactured from 2005 through 2006.

The cars were recalled because of a defect in the vehicle’s inverter module. According to officials at Toyota, the vehicle has a chance of suddenly entering into a fail-safe/limp-home mode that would disable the vehicle from being able to be driven. The vehicle could then stop unexpectedly, posing the risk of a crash.

There have been no injuries or accidents caused by this defect reported. Toyota has said that they will be notifying drivers who own the cars of the recall by mail.
