I have a 2021 RAV4 Prime and 2022 RAV4 Prime. I have had no problems whatsoever with either vehicle. Both cars are kept in a heated garage, so I am not really concerned about charging below 41 degrees F. When the recall finally reaches my Toyota dealership here in NY, I will have the chip update. Thank you for the information.

I have over 32K miles on the 2021 RAV4 Prime. Just recently changed the four tires (so it would pass inspection). Yes, I do take care of my vehicles, keeping them in my over-sized three-car garage. I also own a Gen 3 Toyota Prius (not plug-in) that has also been problem free other than normal maintenance after over 90K miles which is hard to believe. My Toyota service manager calls the Gen 3 Prius the "Armageddon car."

This was really timely for me, as I had gotten “the letter” in September, but no other communication from Toyota. I actually had called them (for the 2nd time) yesterday before I saw this! I live in Florida, so that might be why the Toyota Care representative I talked to had no new information. On the other hand, we had made a trip to the Smokey Mountains in early November and charged the car every night in 20 degree weather -- I had no idea of the risk we were taking! So fortunate nothing went wrong!

It's very rare for something to happen, but hopefully you can get the recall done. Should be pretty close to time now. Must have been a fun trip, would like to go there some day !!

As the NHTSA related docs you show provide, this only pertains to 'certain 2021 & 2022' RAV4 Primes, not all. And thankfully not to mine when I entered my VIN in the NHTSA site and called my dealer. Your video & message generally overlooks this distinction.
@GoldenK9Campers
@GoldenK9Campers 10 месяцев назад
Thanks for sharing. I didn't understand that. I got the recall notice.. Did you not get anything in the mail. There were folks that didn't get the recall notice in the mail, yet with they entered their vin and called their dealer, the recall was required. Unless the Converter was made by another parts supplier, I don't understand how you wouldn't get the recall.

I didn't get any notice in the mail. I came across your video yesterday, was concerned, entered my VIN in the NHTSA site and called me dealer, and my VIN/car are not subject to the recall. Service tech I called at my dealer hadn't heard about the recall yet, I described what you found to him, and he suspected my '22 Prime may have been manufactured outside the time frame of those in the recall. I got it in late July '22.@@GoldenK9Campers

I took my 2021 Rav4 Prime in for the recall and for a "known problem" with the engine light coming on. When I got the car back I had several new problems which should not have had anything to do with the engine module. The Info display cycles on/off continuously and the cooling fan runs continuously if the vehicle is in EV mode. As a result the EV range on a full charge is now 35 miles.

That is correct. You have a 2023. You should not have gotten the recall notice.

The Toyota & Honda of today aren't the same quality-first companies that they were decades ago. Plus, all the added tech-bloat for the sake of tech-bloat just creates more problems & costs waiting to happen.

@@GoldenK9Campers- What drives up costs of cars more than anything else, is not so much corporate greed as it is Government regulations on (1) Crash Safety, (2) Fuel Economy, and (3) Tailpipe Emissions. If it weren't for CAFE fuel economy and EPA air pollution regulations, we would still be driving cars that get no more than 24 mpg, like the '72 VW Beetle that was my first car, or the 1978 Corolla I owned a few years later, and air pollution would still be lethal, like it was in Los Angeles in the '60's when I was a kid, or in cities like Beijing today. Thanks to CAFE, we have cars like the Prius that get 55 mpg, or the Rav4 Prime that gets 45 (if driven conservatively, at 55 mph). Thanks to Crash Safety requirements, most cars have at least 6 air bags, some as many as 10. LED headlights last a lot longer than halogen bulbs, LED brake and turn signal lights might last the life of the car. All of the technology needed to make a car like the Prius or Rav4 Prime, cost a lot to develop, and building a Rav4 Prime costs a LOT more than it cost to build the original 1996 Rav4 thanks to that big lithium-ion battery. To put things in perspective, let's account for the general level of inflation. From www.Cars.com, which archives car reviews, their review on the 1996 Rav4 had it's price for the AWD model at $16,348. The State of California has a web site calculator for the Consumer Price Index, and the value for January 1996 is 155.2, October 2023 is 335.15. The difference is 2.159. So if the 1996 Rav4 were still being sold today, it would cost $35,303. The actual MSRP for a 2024 Rav4 LE (gasoline-engine-only model), with AWD, is $31, 225. For the Hybrid LE, it's $32,875. Note that the LE does NOT include Blind Spot Monitoring, but this can be added for $670, and I highly recommend it. So look at this: The 1996 Rav4 LE, that got 22 city/27 highway mpg, would cost $35,300 today, adjusted for inflation. In our real world, you can buy a 2024 Rav4 Hybrid, that gets 39/41 mpg, with Toyota Safety Sense, radar cruise control, and Blind Spot Monitoring, for only $33,545. That's 5% LESS for the 2024, with all of it's amazing technology, than what the original Rav4 cost in 1996. For the Rav4 Prime SE Plug-in-Hybrid, you will pay an additional $11,000 over the cost of the Hybrid LE. That's to cover the cost of the 18 kW-hr Lithium battery, the larger, more powerful MG2 motor and the inverter to power it. And you get a car that will go up to 54 miles on cheap electricity (cost for electricity about 3.5¢/mile, compared to 10¢/mile for gasoline). I hope I proved my point: Modern Toyota Hybrids seem to be expensive when you look at the MSRP, but adjusted for inflation, they actually cost slightly less than their ancestors did in the mid-1990's, and you get a way more fuel efficient vehicle that will require far less maintenance, thanks to the vastly simplified Hybrid Synergy Drive transaxle, that has a lot less moving parts than a conventional automatic, and that has no bands or clutch packs that wear out. The 2024 Rav4 will protect it's occupants way better in a crash thanks to all those air bags, and what's that worth to you?
