7 recalls covering model years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024. 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.
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.
A software error in the instrument panel can occur when the vehicle starts up. Because of this, the panel may fail to show the vehicle's speed, brake system warning, and tire pressure warning lights. This is happening on a range of Toyota models covered by this recall. The recall is being carried out in phases, with owner notification letters sent out in stages, and additional letters expected in the future.
On certain Toyota RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid vehicles, a part inside the DC-DC converter that manages electrical current may have been damaged during manufacturing. This damage can cause an electrical short circuit. A short circuit can make the converter overheat, which increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
In certain cold weather driving conditions, while driving in EV Mode, the computer that controls the hybrid system in your RAV4 Prime may shut the hybrid system down if you press the accelerator quickly to speed up further. When the hybrid system shuts down like this, it results in the engine stalling.
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.
On some 2021 RAV4 Prime vehicles, the caps that hold the headlight aim in place may not have been properly closed, allowing the headlight beam to be adjusted sideways. This can increase glare and make it harder for an oncoming driver, or the person driving the vehicle, to see clearly. Toyota dealers will close the aiming caps to fix the problem, free of charge.
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.

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime has the most, with 4 recalls. The 2023 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 2. 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 7 Toyota RAV4 Prime recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
