NHTSA publishes complaints as owners wrote them and does not verify them, so read them as a pattern rather than a diagnosis.

A 2021 RAV4 owner, NHTSA complaint 11737608: "Car makes a whining noise Toyota Pinellas park said it was normal but the transmission is jolting/slipping not accelerating vs the first test drive. Both cv axles were bad tires were bald when sold to me tps sensors were bad. Had to get a new set of tires and paid the Toyota for work on the vehicle"

Recalls that cover the CV axle on the 2019–2025 RAV4

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2019–2025 Toyota RAV4 whose defect is in the CV axle. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which CV axle a 2019–2025 RAV4 takes

Axles differ by transmission, by drivetrain, and between the left and right side, which are rarely the same length. The 2019–2025 Toyota RAV4 came with several powertrains, among them 2.5L I4 Automatic AWD and 2.5L I4 CVT AWD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
