Every model year 2021–2024: recalls, owner complaints, NHTSA crash ratings and EPA efficiency side by side, each value traced to the file it came from.
Which model year the record favours
Source: recalls and complaints per year on the roadOn the filed record so far, the 2023 is the cleanest RAV4 Prime year we hold, and the 2021 the one to check hardest.
