Found when I took my Rav4 in for routine mantenance yesterday that there was a recall or "Consumer Advisory" for the battery issue. Here is the description: Consumer Advisory 21TG01, Certain 2013-2018 Model Year RAV4, 12. Look up recalls for Toyota, Lexus, and Scion, and find solutions to recall issues affecting your vehicle.
If you've got a 2013-2018 RAV4 with a gas engine, not hybrid, you're in the zone. Toyota's recall covers roughly 1,854,000 vehicles in the U.S. and another 249,000 in Canada, all over the same issue: a battery that can rattle loose and potentially start a fire.
This isn't a small. On November 1, 2023, Toyota filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on 2013. More than 1.8 million 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4s are recalled due to concerns that replacement 12-volt batteries may not be properly secured, creating a fire risk.
What Is the Toyota RAV4 Battery Recall? The Toyota RAV4 battery recall (officially NHTSA Campaign 23V-734) affects a massive 1.85 million vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2018. This isn't about the batteries themselves failing-it's about how they're secured in your vehicle. Dealers will replace the battery clamp sub-assembly, battery tray, and positive terminal cover, free of charge.
