Toyota RAV4/RAV4 Hybrid Recall In North America

PLANO, Texas (August 6, 2019) –Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain 2019 RAV4/RAV4 Hybrid vehicles in North America. Approximately 18,000 vehicles are involved in this recall.

The involved vehicles are equipped with a back-up camera system which activates to show the area behind the vehicle when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. In these vehicles, there is a possibility that a damaged connector in the audio display unit is causing the back-up camera system not to activate. If the driver reverses the vehicle without checking his/her surroundings when the vehicle has this condition, there can be an increased risk of a crash.

This condition would lead to a noncompliance with certain safety regulations in the United States and Canada.

For all involved vehicles, if the backup camera system is found to be inoperative as a result of this condition, Toyota dealers will replace the audio display unit with a new one at no cost to customers.

In the U.S., owners of all involved vehicles will be notified by first class mail by early October 2019.
