This could cause an electrical short circuit, which could generate heat and lead to a risk of fire, Toyota saidThe issue affects vehicles produced in Japan between June 2015 and May 2018, and includes the plug-in version of the Prius and the C-HR compact crossover SUV sold in Japan, Europe, Australia and other countries.Roughly half of the recalls would take place in Japan, Toyota spokesman Jean-Yves Jault said.Only the Prius model would be recalled in the United States, where around 192,000 vehicles were affected. he said.Jault added that the issue had led to one incident of a short circuiting in Japan which produced smoke from the vehicle.Source :-<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/09/05/toyota-plans-to-recall-1-million-hybrid-models-over-wiring-issue.html" target="_blank">https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/09/05/toyota-plans-to-recall-1-million-hybrid-models-over-wiring-issue.html</a></blockquote>
