Buying a used 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime? Check these 3 recalls first
Carries the same critical power converter overheat and fire recall as the 2021 car, but without the cold-weather stall recall; it adds a high-severity passenger seat sensor that may misread the occupant, plus a medium stability control recall. Owner reports are far fewer than 2021 — 21 unverified complaints filed with NHTSA, with five crashes and two injuries. Electrical system leads with seven, followed by unknown or other, service brakes and power train.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Check the VIN and get documentation that the power converter recall was performed
- With a passenger seated, confirm the passenger air bag status light reads correctly
- Ask about any electrical, charging or braking faults, and whether warning lights have been cleared
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
