2013 TOYOTA RAV4 EV Recalls (3)

Campaign:
15V143000 on 03/12/2015
Component:
Hybrid propulsion system
Manufactured:
07/23/2012 - 08/28/2014
Affected:
2,497
Defect:
Toyota motor engineering & manufacturing (toyota) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 rav4 ev vehicles manufactured july 24, 2012, to august 29, 2014. due to a software issue within a component of the electric vehicle traction motor assembly, the electric propulsion motor may shift to "neutral" resulting in a possible loss of drive power.
Consequence:
A loss of drive power may increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will update the electric vehicle traction motor assembly software, free of charge. the recall began on september 10, 2015. owners may contact toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:
15V577000 on 09/17/2015
Component:
Visibility/wiper
Manufactured:
07/23/2012 - 08/28/2014
Affected:
423,456
Defect:
Toyota motor engineering & manufacturing (toyota) is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 rav4 vehicles manufactured october 27, 2008, to december 19, 2012 and 2012-2014 rav4 ev vehicles manufactured july 24, 2012, to august 29, 2014. in the affected vehicles, water may drip onto the joint that connects the wiper linkage to the wiper motor.
Consequence:
Over time, the dripping water may cause corrosion and wear at the joint, potentially resulting in the separation of the wiper linkage. once this occurs, the wipers would not function, reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the water diverter channel. in addition, a new wiper linkage with a wiper motor crank arm will be installed. the wiper linkage will have a protective cover over the wiper linkage joint to minimize water splash and a retainer ring to prevent the wiper arm from separating from the wiper motor. the recall began on november 7, 2016. owners may contact toyota's customer service number at 1-800-331-4331.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:

Component:
Seat belts:rear
Manufactured:
07/23/2012 - 08/28/2014
Affected:
1,123,752

Consequence:
A cut seat belt may not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing their risk of injury in a crash.
Correction:
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will install a protector over both rear seat cushion frames, free of charge. the recall began on june 24, 2016. owners may contact toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. toyota's number for this recall is g0f.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
