Defective brake booster pump (recall)
Manufacturer recallOn hybrid RAV4s built in spring 2019 (26 April to 31 May 2019 according to the Australian recall), badly formed brushes can block the brake booster pump motor: brake assistance and stability control can then be lost, with warning lights coming on. Toyota replaces the pump free of charge (CarAdvice, Green Car Reports, What Car?).
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
