Buying a used 2024 Toyota RAV4? Check these 3 recalls first
The recall to focus on is a high-severity one for brake bolts that may be loose, shared with the Lexus NX; the other two are the same instrument-panel display and rearview-camera freeze items that run across recent Toyotas. None carries a stop-driving warning. Complaint volume is 173 unverified owner reports, with engine, electrical and steering the visible clusters — and a comparatively high 28 reports mentioning a crash and 21 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 proof the brake bolt recall was inspected or repaired by a dealer
- Brake firmly at low speed and note any noise, vibration, or odd pedal feel
- Confirm the dash display and rearview camera recall updates have been applied
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
