    On the 2023-2025 Toyota RAV4, nHTSA recall 25V595000 covers 2023-2025 RAV4 models, including the RAV4 Prime / RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid versions. The defect is an error in the instrument panel software at vehicle startup: when it occurs, the panel may fail to display vehicle speed, the brake system warning light, and the tire pressure warning light. RAV4 is the one nameplate in this campaign where the remedy splits — plug-in hybrid RAV4s are handled differently from the gas and conventional hybrid versions, so which RAV4 you own changes what the dealer does. NHTSA warns that an instrument panel not showing critical information can increase the risk of a crash or injury. The 591,377 units cited apply to the campaign as a whole, spanning many Toyota and Lexus models.

    Common Symptoms

    • Speed is not displayed in the instrument panel at startup
    • Brake system warning light fails to display
    • Tire pressure warning light fails to display

    How to Fix

    No cost to you either way. Non-PHEV RAV4s get the instrument panel software updated over the air. If you have a RAV4 Prime / RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, the dealer will inspect the instrument panel assembly and then either replace it or update its software. Owner letters began going out December 5, 2025, with more anticipated in May 2026 under this phased recall. Run your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm coverage and remedy status, or call Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 and reference 25TB08 / 25TA08.

    On the 2023-2025 Toyota RAV4, nHTSA recall 25V595 and Toyota campaigns 25TB08/25TA08 cover certain 2023-2025 RAV4 and RAV4 Prime/Plug-in Hybrid vehicles equipped with affected 12.3-inch combination-meter software. Toyota reported 113,286 potentially involved RAV4s and 33,001 potentially involved RAV4 Prime/plug-in vehicles. Improper programming repeatedly writes unnecessary data to memory, which can cause the display to remain blank at ignition on. If driven in that state, vehicle speed and warnings such as brake-system or tire-pressure information may be missed. Model year alone does not establish VIN inclusion.

    This issue also affects: Toyota Camry, Lexus LX

    Common Symptoms

    • 12.3-inch combination-meter display remains blank at ignition on
    • Vehicle speed is not displayed in the instrument panel
    • Brake-system or tire-pressure warning information may be missed

    How to Fix

    Check the VIN through Toyota's official recall lookup or a Toyota dealer. For an involved non-plug-in RAV4, the dealer updates the combination-meter software free of charge. For an involved RAV4 Prime/Plug-in Hybrid, the dealer inspects the meter and either updates its software or replaces the meter free of charge. Confirm completion by VIN. If the display is blank, use any redundant center-screen information available, avoid unnecessary driving, and arrange the recall remedy rather than buying a cluster.

    Owner tips & cautions

    • WarningApplicability is VIN-specific. A listed model year or 12.3-inch display does not by itself prove that recall 25V595 is open on the vehicle.
    • TipHave Toyota confirm both VIN inclusion and completion because the documented remedy differs between non-plug-in and plug-in RAV4 vehicles.

    On the 2013-2024 Toyota RAV4, plaintiffs in the pending Mixon action allege that power door-lock actuators in several Toyota models, including fourth- and fifth-generation RAV4 vehicles, can stop locking or unlocking through the remote fob or interior switch. In March 2026, the federal court denied Toyota's pleading-stage motions, but it did not certify a class or find that an actuator defect, internal gear/motor mechanism, failure rate, safety consequence or Toyota liability exists. No Toyota recall or Toyota door-lock-actuator TSB was confirmed in the July 22, 2026 audit. The alleged RAV4 scope supports 2013-2024 at most, not the old 2025 claim.

    Common Symptoms

    • One door does not lock or unlock from the remote fob
    • One door does not respond to the interior power-lock switch
    • The affected door may still require checking for manual lock and latch operation

    How to Fix

    Confirm whether the door still latches and can be secured manually, then diagnose the exact failed function before replacing parts. Toyota XA40 service information checks battery voltage, the symptom table, operation, ECU terminals, data-list values and active tests; for a single passenger door it reads the lock-position switch and commands the motor lock assembly. A switch, keyless receiver, body ECU, wiring/connector, position switch, linkage, latch or motor assembly can require different repair. If the door will not latch or remain closed, treat that as a separate immediate safety condition and do not drive until inspected.

    Owner tips & cautions

    • TipRecord which command fails (fob, interior switch or both), which door is affected and whether manual locking and latch retention still work before diagnosis.
    • WarningThe Mixon case remains a putative action: the court has not certified a class or found that the alleged actuator defect exists.

    On the 2024-2025 Toyota RAV4, a large and still-growing cluster of NHTSA complaints on the 2024-2025 RAV4 describes the engine abruptly shutting off during or shortly after driving in heavy rain, standing water, or sustained wet-weather highway driving. The instrument cluster displays "Engine Stopped, Steering Power Low" (or "Power Steering Low"), and the vehicle loses power assist for steering and brakes while still rolling. Owners consistently report the vehicle will not restart immediately and typically becomes drivable again after roughly 20-30 minutes of sitting, which is consistent with a wet component drying out. Dealers routinely find no stored DTCs and cannot reproduce the fault, so many vehicles are returned unrepaired. Confirmed NHTSA complaint records include ODI 11665093 (05/2025, "engine stopped - power steering low" in pouring rain), 11677065 (07/2025, stalled three times), 11694734 (10/2025), 11698298 (11/2025), 11700739 (11/2025), 11719554 (02/2026, "starts sputtering and shuts off" in rain), 11725047 (03/2026), 11735299 (05/2026) and 11745756 (06/2026). Owner discussion attributes it to water ingestion through the redesigned intake snorkel/resonator path fouling the mass air flow sensor, but Toyota has issued no recall or bulletin confirming a root cause as of August 2026, so treat that as a hypothesis rather than an established fix.

    Common Symptoms

    • Engine shuts off while driving in or just after heavy rain
    • "Engine Stopped, Steering Power Low" message on the instrument cluster
    • Loss of power steering assist and hard brake pedal while rolling
    • Engine sputters or runs rough before stalling
    • Vehicle will not restart for 20-30 minutes, then runs normally
    • No diagnostic trouble codes found at the dealer

    How to Fix

    There is no factory recall or published remedy. Diagnose rather than parts-swap: document the failure with the dealer and insist on a Techstream freeze-frame capture, since many vehicles set no hard code. Inspect the air intake snorkel, air filter housing and Helmholtz resonators for standing water or a water-stained air filter element; a soaked filter element is direct evidence of ingestion. Remove and inspect the MAF/IAT sensor for water spotting or residue and clean it with dedicated MAF cleaner (never brake clean or contact cleaner). Check for water intrusion at engine-bay grounds and connectors. Because the fault is intermittent and rain-dependent, ask the dealer to open a Toyota Field Technical Report - accumulated FTRs are what drive a bulletin. Given loss of power steering and brake assist at speed, do not defer this; if the vehicle stalls in traffic, report it to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem so the complaint count keeps building.

    On the 2019-2024 Toyota RAV4 2.5L A25A-FXS hybrid/plug-in hybrid, toyota says moisture from blow-by gases may condense and accumulate in the A25A-FXS engine oil during short trips in extreme cold weather. The oil may appear milky or discolored; if the moisture freezes, oil pressure may drop and the Oil Pressure Low warning or MIL may appear with P05202A and/or P052477. This exact bulletin condition is not evidence of the previous card's gasoline-dilution defect, damaging fuel-percent threshold or permanent thicker-oil remedy.

    This issue also affects: Lexus LX, Toyota GR86, Toyota Corolla Cross

    Common Symptoms

    • Milky or discolored engine oil after short trips in extreme cold
    • Oil Pressure Low warning on the multi-information display
    • MIL illuminated with P05202A and/or P052477

    How to Fix

    Treat an Oil Pressure Low warning as a stop-and-diagnose condition. For milky/discolored oil, Toyota first requires inspection and a cooling-system pressure check; any internal coolant leak takes the vehicle outside this bulletin and must be diagnosed separately. If the cooling system holds pressure, a technician follows T-SB-0104-21 Rev2's DTC/warning gate, hybrid maintenance-mode warm-up checks and specified oil-and-filter procedure. Use the oil grade on the under-hood label and applicable manual; do not use a highway drive, owner-UOA threshold or permanent 0W-20 substitution as a repair.

    On the 2024 Toyota RAV4, toyota recalled a small, tightly bounded population of 2024 RAV4 vehicles (and 2025 Lexus NX) because bolts securing the front brake caliper mounting bracket and the front wheel hub bearing may not have been tightened to specification during assembly. NHTSA campaign 24V911000 covers 70 vehicles. A loose caliper bracket can allow the caliper to shift and chafe or sever the brake hose, causing a hydraulic fluid leak and a partial loss of braking; loose hub bearing bolts can allow the wheel to separate from the vehicle. Either outcome is a loss-of-control event. Toyota's internal recall number for the RAV4 portion is 24LA08 (24TA14 for the Lexus NX). Owner notification letters went out January 23, 2025. Because the affected build population is so small, most 2024 RAV4s are not involved - this is strictly a VIN-specific campaign and should be confirmed by VIN rather than assumed from the model year.

    Common Symptoms

    • Clunking or knocking from a front wheel over bumps or under braking
    • Brake pedal sinks or feels soft
    • Brake fluid warning light or visible fluid at the inner front wheel
    • Grinding or roar from a front wheel bearing
    • Wheel wobble at speed

    How to Fix

    Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or toyota.com/recall. If included, dealers inspect and re-torque the front brake caliper mounting bracket bolts and the front wheel hub bearing bolts to specification and replace any damaged brake hose or hardware, free of charge with no mileage or ownership limit. Do not attempt this as a DIY re-torque and consider it closed: the recall inspection also covers hose chafing damage that a simple torque check would miss. If you hear a clunk or grinding from a front wheel, feel a pulsing or sinking brake pedal, or see fluid at the inside of a front wheel, stop driving the vehicle and have it towed rather than driven in.

    On the 2024-2025 Toyota RAV4, nHTSA has accumulated a sustained stream of complaints from 2024 and 2025 RAV4 owners whose panoramic moonroof or rear glass shatters explosively with no impact, no road debris strike, and no prior chip or crack. Reports describe a loud bang or gunshot-like pop at highway speed followed by tempered glass fragments falling into the cabin onto occupants. Confirmed 2024 RAV4 complaint records include ODI 11662681 (05/2025, shattered on the interstate), 11689587 (09/2025), 11695275 (10/2025, "panoramic moonroof suddenly exploded" at highway speed), 11701533 (11/2025, at 65 mph), 11730493, 11731225, 11732651, 11733756 (04/2026, "exploded at approximately 70 mph") and 11757808 (08/2026). Confirmed 2025 RAV4 records include ODI 11691384, 11712562, 11713460, 11743586, 11745366, 11755096 (rear windshield) and 11756950. A closely related report, ODI 11730402, describes a rear passenger-side window shattering without impact. Owners repeatedly report that dealers decline warranty coverage by attributing the break to an unseen external object, which is why the pattern shows up in NHTSA data rather than in warranty claims. Toyota has issued no recall for this as of August 2026.

    Common Symptoms

    • Loud bang or pop from the roof while driving with no impact
    • Panoramic moonroof glass shatters into small tempered fragments
    • Glass falls into the cabin onto front or rear occupants
    • No chip, crack, or strike mark present before the break
    • Dealer denies warranty coverage citing an external object

    How to Fix

    There is no recall or factory remedy, so the practical path is documentation and escalation. Before touching anything, photograph the intact fracture pattern - a break originating at an edge or corner with no central impact point argues against a rock strike and is the evidence an adjuster or Toyota field rep needs. File a complaint at nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem; the volume of filings is what forces a defect investigation. Open a case with Toyota Brand Engagement (1-800-331-4331) rather than accepting a single service-advisor denial, and ask for goodwill assistance citing the NHTSA complaint pattern. If Toyota denies, comprehensive auto insurance normally covers glass breakage subject to deductible and many states waive the deductible for glass. Replacement of a panoramic panel runs roughly $1,000-$2,000 installed depending on whether the fixed panel or the sliding panel broke; a rear windshield is considerably less. Vacuum the cabin thoroughly and check the drain channels and headliner for lodged fragments before returning the vehicle to service.

    On the 2023-2025 Toyota RAV4, 2023-2025 Toyota RAV4 models equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor are covered by NHTSA recall 25V744000. Toyota reports a software error that can cause the RAV4's rearview camera to freeze or to display a blank screen when reverse is engaged. With no image shown, the vehicle fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111, "Rear Visibility," and Toyota warns that a camera which does not display an image reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle and increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA puts the campaign at about 1,024,407 vehicles in total - a figure that covers every Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru Solterra model in the recall, not the RAV4 alone.

    Common Symptoms

    • Rearview camera image frozen when in reverse
    • Blank screen in place of the backup camera view
    • Panoramic View Monitor does not display a live rear image

    How to Fix

    The remedy is a free parking assist software update at a Toyota dealer. Toyota's recall numbers are 25TB13 and 25LB06 and owner letters were mailed January 2, 2026. Because the RAV4 is high-volume and only PVM-equipped vehicles are involved, check your specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls rather than assuming; Toyota customer service is at 1-800-331-4331.
