2019 Toyota XA50 RAV4 Hybrid: loss of power braking assistance
In July 2019, recall campaign UGG33 was issued for Toyota XA50 RAV4 Hybrid vehicles that were produced from 26 April to 31 May 2019. The brake booster pumps in these vehicles may have been manufactured improperly and this could cause power braking assistance to cease while driving. If the brake booster pump stopped operating, multiple warning lights and messages would illuminate, and/or audible chimes may sound. Furthermore, power braking assistance could be lost completely after several brake pedal applications. As such, the vehicle’s stopping distance would increase and this increased the risk of a collision. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17709.
2019 Toyota XA50 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid: cracks in front lower suspension arms
In June 2020, recall campaign VGG15 was issued for Toyota XA50 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid vehicles that were manufactured from 25 September 2019 to 17 October 2019. In these vehicles, small cracks could develop in the front lower suspension arms. If frequently operated with rapid acceleration and deceleration, these cracks could spread and the suspension arm could separate from the front wheel assembly. If this occurred, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and this would increase the risk of a collision, and the risk of injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18348.
