11 recalls covering model years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The label on your vehicle that shows the load carrying capacity modification may display an inaccurate added weight value. This means the number telling you how much extra weight your vehicle can carry may not be correct. Dealers will replace the load carrying capacity modification label with a corrected one, free of charge, once new labels are ready to be mailed to owners.
Toyota is recalling certain Toyota and Lexus trucks, SUVs and hybrid models. The load carrying capacity modification label, which lists how much added weight the vehicle can carry, may show inaccurate values. Because of that, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering tire selection and rims. Dealers will replace the label free of charge, and Toyota mailed owner letters on May 26, 2026.
Toyota is recalling certain 2022 through 2026 Toyota and Lexus vehicles and the Subaru Solterra that have the Panoramic View Monitor camera system. Models include RAV4, Highlander, Prius, Sienna Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Mirai, bZ4X and the Lexus NX and TX Hybrid. A software error can cause the backup camera picture to freeze or go blank when the car is in reverse, so these vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility standard.
On certain Toyota and Lexus models, a short circuit can develop in the sensor that detects who is sitting in the front passenger seat, called the occupant classification sensor. If this happens, it can prevent the front passenger airbag from deploying in a crash.
Toyota is recalling certain RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid and RAV4 Prime vehicles. Parts inside the front passenger seat may press against each other, which can keep the seat's occupant sensor from correctly recognizing who is sitting there. As a result, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for crash protection. Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat and repair it if repairs are needed.
Toyota is recalling certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles because of a problem with the software that controls the skid control computer. If the driver turns off the vehicle stability control system, the software may fail to turn it back on the next time the vehicle is started. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rule for electronic stability control systems. Dealers will update the software so the system switches back on as it should.
Toyota is recalling certain Toyota Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid vehicles. Small pins inside the steering column, which are meant to break away and absorb energy in a crash to help reduce injury, may have been damaged while the vehicles were being built. That damage could affect how the driver's airbag performs in a crash, so these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering occupant crash protection.
Toyota is recalling certain RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid vehicles equipped with electric power steering (EPS). Water may enter through the cover on the steering gear box. If water gets inside, it can cause the vehicle to lose its electric power steering assist, meaning the steering no longer gets that extra powered help.
Toyota is recalling certain 2019-2020 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid vehicles. The front lower suspension arms may develop cracks. If a crack progresses far enough, the suspension arm may separate from the front wheel assembly. This affects the parts that connect the front wheels to the rest of the vehicle's suspension.
Tiny flaws in the engine casting may develop into cracks over time. These cracks can let engine coolant leak, either inside the engine or outside of it. A coolant leak can cause the engine to overheat, and in gasoline-only vehicles this can make the engine stall while driving. The engine may also suffer mechanical damage, which could lead to an oil leak.
The brake booster pump on these vehicles may fail. When it does, the Vehicle Stability Control system deactivates and the vehicle loses its power assist for braking. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard covering electronic stability control systems.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

NHTSA lists 11 safety recalls covering the 2019–2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. 8 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Toyota RAV4, Tundra Hybrid Weight Label Error" (NHTSA campaign 26V571000), reported Sep 2, 2026.
The 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has the most, with 5 recalls. The 2021 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 11 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
