Hi again......all done & dusted yesterday.

Both recalls dealt with at the major service, 2 years in (8k miles).

(1) DC-DC Convertor replaced.

(2) DCM Software mod. carried out.

Dealership deep in major showroom/office refurb.

Crazy busy, portacabin temp. reception not conducive to post work conversations & feedback.

I took delivery Sept. 2021 (1) & (2) above supported by Toyota recall paperwork.

Barry Wright, Lancashire.

   

   

Sounds like my dealership in Cheshire!

Interestingly, I received (here in Germany) a recall notice from Toyota about the DC/DC converter for my 2021 RAV4 PHEV a few days ago. That is a couple of months after most of you guys in the UK! I remember reading somewhere that North America started this recall a long time ago. My dealer here told me that the part has to be ordered and expected delivery is late November! They didn't mention checking the old unit before replacement. The problem seems to be rare (i.e. not immediately a cause for concern), but if the car goes up in smoke in the next month I'll post an update.... 

Well, lucky UK and lucky Germany! I received the DC/DC recall by registered mail only on 6 Jan 2024 from Toyota France. The letter makes no mention of low temperature charging problems though, and it's below zero here right now and I have it set up to charge overnight. Will try again tomorrow to engage with dealer to get the recall done.
