Official summary
Some Prius V vehicles may exhibit a condition where the back hatch door requires a high closing effort. This condition may result in the back hatch door not closing completely which will leave the Door Ajar Indicator Lamp illuminated. New back hatch door stays have been developed to address this condition.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
