Buying a used 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime? Check these 2 recalls first
Both open recalls on this model year are display-related: the instrument panel may not show speed or warning lights, and the rearview camera image can freeze. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Owner complaints filed with NHTSA — unverified reports — number 62, with electrical system by far the largest category at 41, plus smaller counts for vehicle speed control and forward collision avoidance. Five of those reports mention a crash, one an injury.
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.
- Ask for dealer paperwork showing both the instrument-panel and rearview-camera recalls were completed
- At startup, confirm the dash shows speed and all warning lights before they extinguish
- Shift into reverse several times and watch that the camera image refreshes rather than freezing
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
