Massive Toyota RAV4 recall underway Auto Plus news in your smartphone Auto Plus news in your inbox

Recall campaigns are commonplace in the automotive industry. They are installed when a design problem has been discovered on several vehicles and it has been proven that the problem is indeed the fault of the manufacturer. The latter then organizes a large-scale operation to return all offending cars to the garage for repairs. Transactions are fully supported by the brand, while the customer does not have a single penny for advance and payment. All manufacturers may be concerned at one time or another, more or less as the case may be.

A great reminder

We think of Ford, but also Peugeot, Kia or even Ferrari. Indeed, no one is immune from possible problems. Toyota is making headlines this time. The manufacturer has just launched a new recall campaign for RAV4 owners. Or more precisely, the hybrid version connected from the network. This does have a bit of a problem, particularly at level high voltage battery. If the accelerator is pressed suddenly, the hybrid system may shut down, resulting in a loss of power. But, fortunately, this does not happen systematically, because it depends, in particular, on the temperature.

Quick Reply

This also happens when the car has been driven 100% electric mode before. But how common is this problem? Don’t panic, we are talking about a small number of examples, as the brand recalled only a little more than a thousand. The intervention should be quick and take less than 45 minutes, as it only requires reprogramming the electronic hybridization control unit. Everything is supported by the manufacturer, rest assured.
