Toyota is recalling approximately 43,442 vehicles, including certain 2021-2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime and 2022 Lexus NX450h+ plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. A component within the DC-DC converter, which helps manage the vehicle's electrical current, may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. This defect can lead to an internal electrical short-circuit, causing the unit to overheat and potentially catch fire. Dealers will replace the affected DC-DC converter with a new one at no cost to owners.
A short circuit in the damaged rectifying module can cause the DC-DC converter to overheat rapidly while the vehicle is charging. This overheating creates a significant fire risk, which could result in property damage or injury.
You have 2 options:
