## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2019316](/recalls/tc/2019316.md), 2019-06-26: Powertrain. Issue: On certain vehicles, there may be an electrical component fault. This could cause a problem with charging of the auxiliary battery.

If the vehicle continues to be operated with this problem, it could lose power to the drive wheels.  Safety Risk: A loss of power to the drive wheels could increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the DC\-DC converter. It will be replaced with a new one if necessary.
