Toyota recalls 30K hybrid RAV4 SUVs due to software issue

(CNN)– More than 30,000 Toyota vehicles have been recalled due to a software issue that could cause the car to shut down.

The recall affects the 2026 Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the software issue could cause the hybrid system to reduce power or even shut down when driven at higher speeds.

As a result, the issue could increase the risk of a crash.

Toyota dealers will update the software for free.

Owners will be notified by early December.
