A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.

- Fifth-generation Toyota RAV4 (the US bulletin does not specify the engine)
- Period mentioned
- 2022–2025 (US model years), built from late November 2021 to early April 2025

- Check with the VIN at a Toyota dealer whether campaign 26TC03 or an equivalent one is outstanding.
