2020 TOYOTA RAV4 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Toyota RAV4 has 6 recalls, the most serious involving brakes and suspension: the brake booster pump can fail and cut braking assist and stability control, and front lower suspension arms may crack and separate from the wheel assembly, either of which can cause a loss of vehicle control. On the engine side, certain vehicles with the 2.5L four-cylinder engine have porosity in the engine castings that can cause coolant to leak internally or externally, leading to overheating or a stall. Two recalls address the steering column and driver's airbag: a steering column that was damaged during assembly can shift when the airbag deploys, and separately, breakaway pins in the column designed to absorb crash energy may also have been damaged during production, both of which can reduce protection for the driver in a crash. The final recall affects the electric power steering system, where water can enter the steering gear box and cause a loss of power assist, making the steering wheel noticeably harder to turn at low speeds. Some of these recalls apply specifically to hybrid models.
