5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has 3 recalls, the most serious involving an engine block that can crack and leak coolant, leading to overheating, engine failure, or fire.
On the brake side, the brake booster pump can fail, reducing braking assist and extending stopping distances. The vehicle does provide a visual and audible warning if this failure occurs, and it also disables the stability control system. There is also a visibility concern: a connector for the audio display unit may have been damaged during assembly, which can prevent the backup camera from activating when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, reducing the driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up.
