Toyota is calling back about 1.9 million RAV4 cars because they have a higher risk of fire. Any RAV4 from the 2013 model year to the 2018 model year is hurt. Changes Made These extra fire risks come from 12-volt batteries, and the business is working on a fix. Toyota is calling back 1,854,000 RAV4s from the 2013 to 2018 model years because they could catch fire. Toyota released a voluntary recall yesterday, November 1. Owners of affected vehicles can check if their car is part of it by going to the NHTSA recall website and entering their license plate number or VIN. This is because the 12-volt battery has a higher fire risk, so it is being taken back. The company says that some new 12-volt batteries need a more significant top. The replacement battery is more likely to move when the driver turns quickly if the hold-down clamp is not tight enough and the replacement battery is too small. It’s more likely that there will be a fire if the movement makes the positive battery lead touch the hold-down clamp and short-circuit it. Toyota isn’t telling people to park their cars far away from buildings and other cars right now, and it’s also not sending out stop-drive warnings. The business is working hard to find an answer. The battery tray, cheerful terminal cover, and hold-down clamp will be replaced for free by Toyota dealers once the fix is done. By the end of December 2023, Toyota will let owners of concerned vehicles know.
