Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to disable the engine block heater. For some vehicles, the corrective actions for this recall are under development. For others, a new engine block heater cannot be installed, and the owner will receive a refund of the purchase price of the engine block heater.","mfr_campaign":"SRC XC8/XC9 / SRC RC8/RC9 / SRC RD1/RD2","units":55683,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["RAV4"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2021723"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"16V096000","date":"2016-02-19","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing","component":"SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER","summary":"Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 RAV4 vehicles manufactured July 28, 2005, to December 19, 2012, and 2012-2014 RAV4 EV vehicles manufactured July 24, 2012, to August 29, 2014.

If water were to collect in the channel, it may drip onto the joint that connects the windshield wiper link and wiper motor.  Over time, water dripping on this joint could result in corrosion and/or wear to the joint, which could result in the separation of the wiper link from the wiper motor crank arm.  If separation were to occur, the windshield wipers could become inoperative, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
