On June 24, 2020, Toyota filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on 2019 – 2020 model year Rav4 and 2020 model year Rav4 HV vehicles.
Condition
A screw attaching the cover to the electric power steering gear may not have been installed or properly tightened. A loose or missing screw could allow water to enter and, over time, damage the steering gear, causing a loss of power steering assist. This can result in increased steering effort at low vehicle speeds and increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Toyota is currently preparing the remedy for this issue. When the remedy is available, Toyota dealers will replace the Steering Gear Assembly with a new one FREE OF CHARGE. At this time, Toyota estimates the remedy can be available in late June 2020 to early July 2020.
Covered Vehicles
There are approximately 50 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. Vehicles covered by this Safety Recall were not distributed to Puerto Rico.
Owner Letter Mailing Date
Toyota will notify owners by late-August 2020.
Toyota makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a vehicle that was sold prior to the Safety Recall announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle.
Please note that only owners of the covered vehicles will be notified. If you are contacted by an owner who has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS prior to performing repairs. Dealers should perform the repair as outlined in the Technical Instructions found on TIS.
Dealer Inventory Procedures
New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory
There is 1 vehicle in new dealer inventory as of June 24, 2020
|
Under Title 49, Section 30112 of the United States Code, a dealer cannot sell, offer for sale, or introduce or deliver for introduction in interstate commerce a new motor vehicle when it is aware that the vehicle does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety. Further, 49 Code of Federal Regulations §577.13 requires us to provide the following advisory: It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.
Toyota reimburses dealers for flooring costs associated with new vehicles held in dealership inventory until the recall remedy becomes available. Toyota provides these flooring reimbursements at 60-day intervals. Toyota reserves the right to withhold or charge-back any flooring reimbursement funds that may have been paid to the dealer if it determines that a new vehicle subject to a safety recall was sold without first being remedied.
|
| Vehicle Safety Recall completion should always be verified through TIS. We request your assistance to ensure involved vehicles are identified and not delivered prior to performing the remedy. | |
NOTE:
- New vehicles in dealer inventory subject to a Safety Recall must be remedied before delivery into commerce under a sale or lease. Dealer-to-dealer trades as well as vehicle sales between dealers should not be made until a vehicle is remedied.
- Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/). The Vehicle Inventory Summary may take up to 4 hours to populate information for newly launched campaigns.
Inspection Reminder Mirror Hang Tags for Covered Vehicles in New Dealer Stock
To easily recognize vehicles involved in this Safety Recall, each dealership should utilize Inspection Reminder Hang Tags. Inside the vehicle’s glove box are stickers containing the VIN. Apply one of these stickers to the hang tag and install the hang tag in the vehicle. A sample copy of the Inspection Reminder Hang Tag has been included for your reference.
| Part Number | Description | Quantity |
| 00411-140003 | Inspection Mirror Hang Tag | 25 Per Pack |
NOTE: Dealerships can order hang tags from the Material Distribution Center (MDC).
Pre-Owned Vehicles in Dealer Inventory
Toyota typically requests that dealers NOT deliver any pre-owned vehicles in dealer inventory that are covered by a Safety Recall unless the defect has been remedied. In this case, until remedy parts are available, delivery of a pre-owned vehicle is acceptable if disclosed to the customer that the vehicle is involved in this Safety Recall and that the remedy is currently being prepared by Toyota.
Toyota expects dealers to use the attached Customer Contact and Vehicle Disclosure Form to obtain vehicle buyer information. Dealers are expected to provide a copy of the completed form, along with the most current FAQ, to the vehicle buyer. Toyota and the dealer may use this information to contact the customer when the remedy becomes available.
Keep the completed form on file at the dealership and send a copy to quality_compliance@toyota.com. In the subject line of the email, state “Disclosure Form 20TA11/20TB11” and include the VIN.
NOTE: Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/). The Vehicle Inventory Summary may take up to 4 hours to populate information for newly launched campaigns.
Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV)
The TCUV policy prohibits the certification of any vehicle with an outstanding Safety Recall, Special Service Campaign, or Limited Service Campaign. Thus, no affected units are to be designated, sold, or delivered as a TCUV until all applicable Safety Recalls, Special Service Campaigns, and Limited Service Campaigns have been completed on that vehicle.
Toyota Rent-A-Car (TRAC) & Service Loaners
Toyota requests that dealers remove all TRAC and Service Loaner vehicles from service that are covered by a Safety Recall unless the defect has been remedied.

Country of Origin: USA
- Identification of Involved Vehicles and Affected Components:
Based on production records, we have determined the involved vehicle population as in the table below.
| Make/Car Line | Model Year | Manufacturer | Production Period |
| Toyota / RAV4 | 2019-2020 | TMMC | July 2, 2019 through February 11, 2020 |
| Toyota / RAV4 HV | 2020 | TMMC, TMMK | December 17, 2019 through February 11, 2020 |
| Applicability | Part Number | Part Name | Component Description |
| MY2019-2020 Toyota RAV4/RAV4 HV | 44250-0R011 | Gear Assy, Electric Power Steering | Power Steering Gear Assembly |
| 44250-0R021 |
Note:
(1) Although the involved vehicles are within the above production period range, not all vehicles in this range were sold in the U.S.
(2) This issue only affects the vehicles listed above that were assembled with steering gear assemblies that were manufactured by a specific supplier on a specific production line during a specific time period. Other Toyota or Lexus vehicles sold in the U.S. are not equipped with steering gear assemblies that were potentially manufactured by the specific supplier on the specific production line during the specific time period.
- Total Number of Vehicles Potentially Involved:
| Toyota RAV4: | 41 |
| Toyota RAV4 HV: | 5 |
| Total: | 46 |
- Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:
Unknown. Toyota is unable to provide an estimate of the percentage of vehicles to actually contain the defect. Whether a missing screw or a screw that was not properly tightened will, over time, lead to certain components inside the steering gear corroding and causing a loss of power steering assist depends on the steering loading conditions experienced by each particular vehicle.
- Description of Problem:
The subject vehicles are equipped with an electric power steering (EPS) system, which includes a steering gear assembly containing a steering gear box cover that is attached with five screws. One specific screw of the five may not have been installed or properly tightened. This could create a gap between the steering gear assembly and the steering gear box cover under certain steering loading conditions, allowing water to enter. Over time, certain components inside the steering gear could corrode, resulting in a loss of power steering assist. In the event of loss of power steering assist, the steering system will revert to manual steering mode, and steering control can be maintained at all times. However, suspension of power steering assist results in increased steering effort at low vehicle speeds and increases the risk of a crash.
- Chronology of Principal Events:
February 2020 – March 2020
In early February, 2020 Toyota was notified by the supplier that a steering gear assembly had been assembled with a missing screw but had passed through the quality checkpoints in the production process. The supplier began an inspection of steering gear assemblies within their facility and identified two additional steering gear assemblies that had a missing screw. The supplier stopped shipments to Toyota and began a 100% inspection for this screw. Around this same time, Toyota also identified a vehicle that was assembled with a steering gear assembly that had a missing screw. As a result, Toyota began inspecting additional vehicles in which the steering gear assembly had already been installed and steering gear assemblies that had arrived from the supplier; no additional steering gear assemblies with missing screws were found.
The supplier continued their investigation and began reviewing production records containing the torque data for the process where the missing screw was found. They found that the assembly equipment had also passed assembled parts through the quality checkpoint with screws below the torque specification. As a result of this data review, the supplier identified 65 steering gears assemblies that either had a potentially missing screw or a screw that was tightened below the specified torque value and were shipped to TMMC and TMMK. TMMC and TMMK checked the production records for those steering gears and found that the affected steering gear assemblies had been installed in Toyota vehicles during the vehicle assembly process. The supplier began a failure analysis to understand the potential impact of a missing screw or a screw that was tightened below the specified torque value.
April 2020 – Early June 2020
The results of the supplier’s failure analysis identified some of the theoretical effects that may be caused as a result of the missing screw or a screw that was tightened below the specified torque. One of the potential effects was that, over time, a gap could be created between the steering gear assembly and the cover; this gap might allow for the intrusion of water into the assembly. In theory, water intrusion could potentially corrode components of the steering gear assembly, and cause a loss of power steering assist. At this time, it was unclear whether any of the potential effects could occur in real world vehicle use.
To understand the nature and extent of potential safety risks, Toyota decided to conduct a series of tests. Toyota removed the aforementioned screw from the steering gear assembly cover on a test vehicle in order to conduct the testing. Toyota’s testing plan involved multiple drive patterns and turning scenarios, as well as impacts with common obstacles (e.g. curbs, medians, speed bumps), to simulate various steering loading conditions on the vehicle. The testing did not create a “gap” condition, or identify or quantify the potential effects or risks that were identified in the supplier simulation.
June 18, 2020
While the testing was unable to identify a risk scenario theorized by the supplier’s simulation, Toyota could not eliminate the possibility that, over time, certain components inside the steering gear could corrode due to water intrusion, potentially resulting in a loss of power steering assist. Therefore, out of an abundance of caution, Toyota decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall campaign for the vehicles identified above. In the event of loss of power steering assist, the steering system will revert to manual steering mode, and steering control can be maintained at all times. However, suspension of power steering assist results in increased steering effort at low vehicle speeds and increases the risk of a crash.
As of June 17, 2020, based on a diligent review of records, Toyota’s best engineering judgement is that there are no Toyota Field Technical Reports or warranty claims that have been received from U.S. sources that relate or may relate to this condition and which were considered in the decision to submit this report.
