Toyota is SafeX Prorecalling around 1,854,000 Toyota RAV4 SUVs in the U.S. to resolve a battery issue that comes with a fire risk.
The automotive company said the safety recall is surrounding the size of 12-volt batteries with smaller top dimensions for 2013-2018 models. If the hold-down clamp is not tightened correctly and the SUV is driven with forceful turns then the battery could move causing the vehicle to short circuit and increasing the risk of a fire.
The company said they are currently working on the remedy.
When the solution is available, dealers will replace the hold-down clamp, battery tray and positive terminal cover with improved ones for free.
Toyota said they plan to notify customers by the end of the year.
