See the five-factor HEV Risk Index methodology for how this score is calculated.
Verify with your regulator
- NHTSA (US) — United States
- Transport Canada — Canada
Always verify recall status using your specific VIN on the regulator database — recall eligibility is vehicle-specific.
Before you buy or sign — what to verify
- Check your specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (US) or Transport Canada (CA)
- Confirm all open recalls have been completed — recall status is vehicle-specific
- Verify hybrid battery health with an OBD-II scan (most independent shops can do this)
- Check service history for "check hybrid system" warning lights or any P0C00/P0A0x DTC codes
- Confirm warranty status — 8 years / 100,000 miles on hybrid battery (10 years / 150,000 miles in CARB states)
- Inspect e-CVT operation — request a test drive and listen for any unusual noises from the transmission
