    Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., on Thursday announced it will recall about 2,500 model year 2012 – 2014 RAV4 EV vehicles; approximately 110,000 model year 2015 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid; and 2014-2015 model year RAV4 vehicles.

    In the RAV4 EV, components in the electric vehicle traction motor assembly, which is part of the propulsion system, may cause the vehicle to shift to neutral due to a software issue. This condition will also trigger a “Check EV System” warning message on the instrument panel and turn on a malfunction indicator lamp. If the vehicle shifts to neutral, it results in a complete loss of drive power, which can increase the risk of a crash.

    Owners of the recalled vehicles will receive notification by first-class mail. Toyota dealers will repair the electric vehicle traction motor assembly.
