Which RAV4s need this question?
Toyota’s US campaign 25TD01 lists certain 2019–2024 RAV4 Hybrid AWD vehicles and 2021–2024 RAV4 Prime vehicles. It describes a rear-motor cable connector where mud, water or road salt can enter and cause corrosion. Excessive corrosion can produce AM-radio static during some driving conditions or prevent the vehicle from starting.
A model year puts a car on your checklist. It does not tell you whether that VIN is included, whether someone already repaired it, or what condition the connector is in today. Ask a Toyota dealer to look up the VIN before you agree to the sale.

25TD01 and 22TE09 answer different questions
One concerns the inspection and protective work. The other concerns coverage if the specified corrosion condition is confirmed. Ask for both records. A cable replacement invoice alone does not tell you how Toyota currently records every applicable campaign.
| Program | What Toyota documents | What to request before buying |
|---|---|---|
| 25TD01 limited-service campaign | Inspection and, where required, a wire-harness protector seal at an authorized Toyota dealer. The published deadline is September 30, 2028. | Campaign status and the completed repair order, including the work performed. |
| 22TE09 customer support program | Coverage for the specified excessive cable-connector corrosion condition after Toyota’s inspection criteria are met. | Written VIN-specific eligibility and the coverage end date. |
| Extended coverage condition | Toyota expanded coverage to 10 years from first use, with unlimited miles. Maintaining that term requires 25TD01 completion by September 30, 2028. Otherwise, eligible vehicles revert to 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. | Original first-use date, current mileage and confirmation that the required campaign is recorded as complete. |

Read the repair order, then book the inspection
Match the VIN on the repair order to the car. Look for the repair date, odometer reading, campaign number and technician’s findings. If the seller says “Toyota checked it,” request the document that shows what Toyota checked and whether any follow-up is outstanding.
Have a qualified hybrid technician assess the cable condition. This is a high-voltage component, not a connector to unplug during a driveway viewing. The campaign is also not a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection of the rest of the vehicle.
A dealership’s willingness to arrange an independent inspection is useful information before you travel. The FTC recommends an independent mechanical inspection even for a certified used car. Keep the inspection report with the vehicle’s service history.

Buying in Canada? Use the Canadian VIN record
The program numbers, mileage terms and deadline above come from Toyota Motor Sales USA. Do not apply them to a Canadian car. Toyota Canada has its own recall and service-campaign lookup. Ask a Canadian Toyota dealer for the applicable campaign and warranty-enhancement documents, including any deadline and completion requirement.
This guide’s listings are US examples. For a Canadian purchase, switch to Canadian inventory before contacting a seller.
