A battery short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
4 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 399 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A battery short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
An unexpected loss of power steering increases the risk of a crash.
If the system incorrectly detects an electrical short and turns off the trailer lights while the trailer is being towed at night, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Accessories that detach from a vehicle may result in a vehicle crash and/or personal injury.
Two 2015 TOYOTA RAV4s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
