HV battery inspection.

Re: HV battery inspection.
Call it overkill, or paranoia, or just me trying to make sure my car runs great, esp how I've seen fried Prius bats due to pencils being stuck in the intake. Ask for pictures if you don't believe.
Yes, there might be 200k Camry that haven't had the inspection, just like there are people that drive 20k miles without an oil change. That logic will get you in trouble. You can bust out laughing at them when the engine no longer works.

Re: HV battery inspection.
Stephen,
I am fairly familiar with Toyota hybrids and have NEVER seen a service advisor recommend ripping out the rear seat, trim panels, vent systems and vent fan on a hybrid just to "inspect" them.
I could see asking for that if you noticed your kids stuffing "gummie bears" down the intake on the rear shelf but not "just because"

Do you realize how much time is involved to remove all of the panels and duct work to get the areas you speak? The reason I brought it up, is because it sounds like someone is trying to rack up a bunch of hours for no reason "on your dime"! If you want to throw money in the trash, go ahead! I'm not paying for it....
My car has 220,000 miles (354k as you see it) and I have never even considered opening that area up until there is horrible squeak (done it) or to repair/replace the fan and or traction battery.
Here is a nice quote from Friedrich Nietzsche: "You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."
