Recall Alert: 2009-2012 Toyota RAV4, 2012-2014 RAV4 EV
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 421,000 model-year 2009-12 Toyota RAV4 SUVs and 2,500 model-year 2012-14 RAV4 EVs
The Problem: Water dripping onto the windshield wiper link can, over time, cause corrosion and wear at the wiper link joint possibly resulting in the separation of the wiper link from the wiper motor crank arm. If this occurs, the windshield wipers could fail, reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the water channel, wiper link and wiper motor crank arm for free.
What Owners Should Do: Owners can call Toyota at 800-331-4331, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
