[Fox Business] Toyota recalls 55,000 Prius models from 2023 and 2024
Toyota has a voluntary recall underway in the U.S. for tens of thousands of Prius and Prius HEVs from the model years 2023-2024.
The automaker announced it had launched the recall Wednesday, linking it to a problem with the rear doors and their electronic latches that about 55,000 cars may have in America.
“Water can enter and short circuit the electronic rear door latches in the involved vehicles,” Toyota said. “If the doors are not locked, they could open while the vehicle is moving or in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.”
TOYOTA RECALLING 381K TACOMA PICKUPS OVER AXLE ISSUE RAISING CRASH RISK
The automaker recommended people in the U.S. and Canada with one of the recalled vehicles turn on a feature “that automatically locks the doors when shifting from Park” for now.
Mailed notification of the recall will go out to affected car owners by early June.
Toyota said owners will ultimately be able to take their affected vehicle to a Toyota dealer and get rear door opener switches swapped for “improved” switches. That, the company said, will not cost owners a penny.

The same issue may also affect 2023-2024 Prius and Prius HEVs in certain places outside the U.S., prompting Toyota to recall 156,000 others in Japan, North America, Europe and Asia, according to a press release.
The company unveiled its 2023 Prius and Prius Prime in 2022 and followed those up a year later with the 2024 model year vehicles. It has been making Priuses for over 20 years.

[Fox Business] Movie star look-alike leads to a $500,000 lottery prize for Michigan man
It’s a story that seems ripped from a movie – literally.
A 26-year-old man from Michigan was watching a movie featuring a character who won a lottery prize. The man thought the character looked like him — so he took it as a sign that he should try his luck with the lottery as well, said the Michigan Lottery in an April 17 posting on its website.
And just as in the movie, the man, who chose to remain anonymous, won a huge prize.
MICHIGAN WOMAN WINS OVER $900,000 IN LOTTERY: ‘I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG’
“I was watching a movie and the main character won big on a lottery ticket. The main character was my look-alike, so I took it as a sign to go buy a ticket,” the man told the Michigan Lottery website.
He went out to the E-Z Stop Food Mart in Flint and purchased a Lucky No. 13 scratch-off ticket, which he did not immediately scratch off.
Later that day, he scratched the ticket – and was shocked to see what happened.

“When I saw I’d won $500,000, I couldn’t believe my eyes! I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was real before sharing the news with my friends, so I went into the bathroom to look the ticket over again,” he told the Michigan Lottery website.
After he was assured his eyes were not tricking him, he called his girlfriend to let her know about his big win.
“I feel so blessed to win this amount of money,” he told the Michigan Lottery.

While claiming his massive prize, the man told the Michigan Lottery that he will be using the money to take care of his children and go on vacation.
The Lucky No. 13 scratch-off game was launched in April 2023, said the Michigan Lottery website.
There is one top $500,000 prize that has yet to be claimed, as well as more than $7 million in other prizes from the game.
Michiganders won more than $1.7 billion from instant win games in 2023, said the Michigan Lottery’s website.
