Buying a used 2019 Toyota RAV4? Check these 7 recalls first

7 NHTSA recalls · 876 owner complaints on file

The 2019 RAV4 has 7 recalls spanning coolant leaks, front suspension arm cracking, power steering water damage, fuel pump failure, backup camera operation and labeling corrections. The mechanical and steering concerns stand out alongside the label work. NHTSA lists 876 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 255 fuel/propulsion, 204 engine and 102 electrical complaints. The record includes 25 crashes, 2 fires and 21 injuries, without establishing that those outcomes were caused by the recalled defects.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify all 7 recall repairs, including camera and label corrections.
3. Review coolant-leak, engine-stalling and fuel-pump repair records.
4. Confirm suspension-arm and steering recall work; ask about steering faults.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
