If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine may run rough. This will lead to the vehicle entering a failsafe driving mode in which the vehicle can still be driven for certain distances. |

| 20TE05_Dealer Pa | 2021-09-13. Service bulletin. DP: Toyota has received customer reports of certain 2020 model year RAV4 HV vehicle fuel gauges displaying less than full and/or total fuel dispensed is less than expected, when the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off. Some customer reports have also noted the ?Distance to Empty? shown on the multi-information display is less than expected. Based on our investigation, Toyota believes these conditions to be primarily related to the fuel sender gauge design. These conditions can cause the fuel level to be read incorrectly and may cause the low fuel light to illuminate with more fuel in the tank than usual. Although the fuel sender gauge unit is covered by Toyota?s New Vehicle Limited Warranty for normal Basic Warranty coverage period, 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first), we at Toyota care about the customers? ownership experience. Toyota is providing coverage for repairs related to refueling performance concerns. The following information is provided to inform you and your staff of the program notification schedule and your degree of involvement. |

DP: Toyota has received customer reports of certain 2019-2021 model year RAV4 HV vehicle fuel gauges displaying less than full and/or total fuel dispensed is less than expected, when the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off. Some customer reports have also noted the ?Distance to Empty? shown on the multi-information display is less than expected. Based on our investigation, Toyota believes these conditions to be primarily related to a variation of fuel tank shape and the potential for the fuel sender gauge to become inclined. These conditions can cause the fuel level to be read incorrectly and may cause the low fuel light to illuminate with more fuel in the tank than usual. Although the fuel tank and fuel sender gauge unit are covered by Toyota?s New Vehicle Limited Warranty for normal Basic Warranty coverage period, 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first), we at Toyota care about the customers? ownership experience. Toyota is providing coverage for repairs related to refueling performance concerns.
