Recalling firm
TOYOTA (GB) PLC
Product
Vehicles: TOYOTA () RAV4. Units affected: 1,998
Reason
Due to insufficient surface treatment prior to painting the paint on the front coil springs may not have adhered properly.

Prolonged use of the vehicle in this condition may cause the spring to fracture which in extreme cases can lead to tyre damage. Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have both front coil springs replaced with quality assured items.
