Toyota is recalling more than 1. 8 million RAV4s, the company announced Wednesday.
Specifically, it involves recalling certain vehicles from the 2013 to 2018 design years.
The challenge lies in the risk of some batteries being replaced, Toyota said in a statement. Since some of the SUV’s replacement batteries aren’t the correct dimensions, it’s possible that they will simply detach and ignite a fireplace if the car takes a sharp turn.
“Some 12-volt replacement batteries of the specified length for the affected cars have smaller dimensions than others. If a small battery length is used for replacement and the clamp is tightened, it is possible that the battery may simply move when the vehicle is driven. “On the tight corners,” Toyota said. The movement can cause the positive terminal of the battery to come into contact with the clamp and cause a short circuit. “
Toyota said it is working on a solution that would upgrade the battery clamp, battery holder and terminal canopy at no cost to owners. They will be informed in December.
Toyota said other people with affected cars can enter the vehicle data number or license plate data into Toyota or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to make recalls.
