Buying a used 2023 Toyota RAV4? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 166 owner complaints on file

The 2023 RAV4 has 3 recalls covering tire valve stems that may leak air, instrument panels that may omit warnings, and rearview cameras that may freeze. Tire pressure retention and warning display operation stand out as inspection priorities, alongside a camera function check.

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 VIN-specific completion of the valve-stem recall.
3. Ask for instrument-panel and rearview-camera recall repair records.
4. Ask about steering problems, engine symptoms, and electrical 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.
