Two numbers, one recall
Every safety recall carries two identifiers. G0F is the number Toyota assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V096000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.
The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
Check one specific vehicle
Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573Is G0F the same recall as 16V096000?
Yes. G0F is Toyota’s own number for it; 16V096000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.
Which vehicles does G0F cover?
2006–2014 Toyota RAV4 and 1 other Toyota model, 1,123,752 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.
Does the G0F repair cost anything?
No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
