Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA reports eight recalls affecting certain 2019 Toyota RAV4 vehicles. Fuel-pump concerns can lead to an engine stall, while a fuel-tank-related campaign addresses the same fuel-pump failure risk. Incorrect or unreadable load-capacity labels may contribute to overloading. A backup-camera fault may prevent the image from appearing in reverse. Engine casting cracks can cause coolant leaks, overheating, stalling, mechanical damage, or an oil-leak fire risk. Cracked suspension arms may affect vehicle control, and water intrusion in the steering gearbox may reduce power-steering assistance. Waiting can leave a safety concern unresolved, so a free VIN check is a sensible next step.
