Fitment is the whole point of this book: the 2008 Toyota Prius service and repair manual is tied to this exact year, engine and trim, so the service figures it gives for the 1.5L hybrid four (1NZ-FXE) are the ones Toyota published for this car and not values carried across from an adjacent model year of the same generation.
Engines
- 1.5L 1500CC l4 HYBRID Naturally Aspirated

Known issues on the 2008 Prius. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first falls under vehicle speed control and covers the accelerator pedal: the pedal can get stuck in the wide open position, which may result in very high vehicle speeds and make the vehicle difficult to stop. The second, filed by Southeast Toyota, is a labeling defect, with the vehicles failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110 on tire selection and rims, so a driver may overload the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 1,894 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 118 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are tracing an accelerator pedal or speed control complaint, servicing the hybrid powertrain, or confirming a tire and load rating before a wheel change, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure for the 2008 Prius.
