What is being recalled

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2019-2020 RAV4 and 2020 RAV4 Hybrid vehicles equipped with electric power steering (EPS). Water may enter through the steering gear box cover and cause a loss of electric power steering assist.

Why it is dangerous

A loss of power steering assist could increase steering effort at low vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
