Toyota is conducting a recall involving certain Toyota vehicles

TORONTO, October 7, 2026 – Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain model year 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid vehicles. Approximately 7,846 vehicles are involved in this recall in Canada.

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, free of charge.

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