Toyota is recalling about 1.9 million RAV4 for possibility that the batteries can shift during sharp turns and potentially cause a fire.
Toyota announced in November 2023 that the recall concerns certain RAV4 SUVs from the 2013 through 2018 model years. Some replacement 12-volt batteries used in the SUVs have smaller top dimensions than others. If the hold-down clamp is not tightened properly, the battery could move, allowing the positive terminal to contact the clamp and short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
The remedy is to replace the hold-down clamp, battery tray and positive terminal cover with improved ones.
So if you have a 2013-2018 year model of Toyota Rav4 that come with a small size 12v battery that does not sit tight in the clamp, you need to fix it before it cause a fire accident.
You can take to your dealer if the car is still under warranty.
