2021 TOYOTA RAV4 PRIME Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime has 5 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk from a DC-DC converter under the rear seat that can overheat and ignite nearby components. Two additional recalls cover the same underlying issue: in cold weather, rapidly pressing the accelerator while driving in EV mode can cause the hybrid system to shut down and cut power to the wheels without warning, raising the risk of a crash. Prior software and hardware remedies address this stall risk from different angles, but both point to the same loss-of-power concern. On the lighting side, headlight aiming caps on certain vehicles were not properly closed during assembly, allowing the horizontal aim of the headlight beam to shift. Misaligned headlights can blind oncoming drivers or reduce the driver's own visibility ahead, and this issue appears in two separate filings covering the same physical defect.
