Air bags
Front Air Bag May Not Deploy Properly/FMVSS 208
The defect: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022 Rav4, Rav4 Hybrid, and Rav4 Prime vehicles.

The risk: Incorrect detection of an occupant may result in improper air bag deployment during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every RAV4 Hybrid built in 2022. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
What 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid owners should do
- Check your VIN on NHTSA’s lookup to see which of these campaigns apply to your vehicle and whether any are still open.
- Call a Toyota dealer and book the repair, quoting the campaign numbers (22V-519, 22V-239).
- If you have bought the vehicle used, the recall still applies: the repair is free whoever owns the vehicle now.
