PLANO, Texas (Oct. 7, 2026) — Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain model year 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid vehicles. Approximately 31,000 vehicles are involved in this recall in the U.S.

A fault can occur in an electronic control unit (ECU) for the plug-in hybrid system in the subject vehicles and can cause the system to shut down while driving. This can lead to a loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds and increase the risk of a crash.

All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified to return their vehicle to a Toyota dealer. Toyota dealers will update the software of the affected ECU, at no cost.

Owners of involved vehicles will be notified by early December 2026.
