BRAKES MAY FAIL TO APPLY OR MAY APPLY INADVERTENTLY
It has been identified that a disconnection of the air intake port may ocurr during service brake application. This can affect the correct functioning of the service brake and may cause the parking brake to apply inadvertently.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake assemblies replaced.

HEATED WASHER NOZZLE MAY SHORT CIRCUIT
It is possible that moisture may enter the heated washer nozzle housing and cause a short circuit of the heating elements. In the worse case a fire may ensue.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to disconnect the heated washer nozzle housings.
FRONT SEAT BELT LOCKING SYSTEM MAY NOT RELEASE WHEN ACTIVATED.
Some front seat belt retractors when the emergency lock has been applied will not release. If the seat belt is locked in this manner the seat belt will not adjust for the next occupant.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front seat belt assemblies.
BRAKE HOSE ABS AND PAD SENSOR LEADS MAY CHAFE ON WHEEL BALANCE WEIGHTS
It is possible for the wheel balance weights to foul the left front brake hose and/or the ABS wheel speed sensor and/or the brake pad wear warning sensor.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit stick on wheel balance weights in place of the clamp on weights. A handbook supplement will also be produced stating the requirement for stick on weights.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the stop for the foot brake pedal collapse system is missing. This can result in the loss of braking efficiency when the brake pedal is at full travel.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected for the presence of the brake pedal collapse system stop and where this is found to be missing the brake pedal will be replaced.

Recalled vehicles will be inspected for the presence of the brake pedal collapse system stop and where this is found to be missing the brake pedal will be replaced.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that on a small number of vehicles the engine may have been fitted with a cylinder head where the lubrication circuit is not in conformity. This could result in failure of the engine.
Recalled vehicles will have the marking on the camshaft carrier checked and if found to be within the effected range the engine will be replaced.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that on vehicles fitted with fuel tanks which incorporate an internal breather pipe the breather pipe may not be to specification. This may result in swelling and cracking of a grommet and detachment of the breather pipe from a connector tube. In this condition fuel may enter the breather pipe resulting in MIL illumination fuel odour and drivability concerns such as hesitation misfiring stalling rough running or difficult starting. In the worst case fuel may be discharged onto the ground.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the fuel tank.
ROAD WHEEL SPOKES MAY CRACK AND SEPARATE
It has been identified that steel wheels of insufficient strength have been fitted to some grades of RAV4 vehicles fitted with diesel engines. The possibility then exist that a crack may appear on the spoke(s) of the wheel which in the worst case could cause the spoke to separate.
Affected vehicles will have their wheels replaced with those of an improved quality.
REAR AXLE FIXING BOLTS MAY BECOME LOOSE
The quality of the welding at the suspension mounting reinforcement plates may not be to specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the welding. Where necessary take corrective action to ensure that the reinforcement plate welding operation has been correctly completed.
STEERING MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the connection between the steering shaft and the fork on the steering propshaft may work loose. This if ignored has the potential to cause the steering to fail.
Subject vehicle will have the steering shafts checked and replaced as necessary.
FUEL MAY LEAK
There is a possibility that the fuel tank filler tube may rust around the mounting bracket. This may create a small hole through progression of rust and fuel may leak during the refuelling process.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel filler tube replaced.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It is possible that the engine may stall when lifting your foot off of the accelerator immediately after high speed usage of the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to download a new piece of software to the engine ECU.
STEERING MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the connection between the steering shaft and the fork on the steering propshaft may work loose. This if ignored it has the potential to cause the steering to fail.
Subject vehicles will have the steering shafts checked and replaced as necessary.
TWIN-MASS FLYWHEEL MAY FAIL AND RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE
It has been advised that the twin-mass flywheel can become damaged because of poor internal installation. This can result in a failure of the twin-mass flywheel and under unfavourable circumstances a vehicle fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the twin-mass flywheel replaced.
STEERING MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the connection between the steering shaft and the fork on the steering propshaft may work loose. This if ignored has the potential to cause the steering to fail.
Subject vehicle will have the steering shafts checked and replaced as necessary.

Subject vehicle will have the steering shafts checked and replaced as necessary.
HOT WATER MAY ENTER SALOON
A steel clip which secures an interior heater pipe has a rubber sleeve bonded to it which protects it against chafing on it's carrier bracket. On a small number of vehicles this sleeve has moved causing the bracket to cut into the heater pipe with subsequent loss of coolant
Recalled vehicles will have the piping checked and replaced together with the carrier bracket as necessary.
