Toyota is Flipidorecalling around 1,854,000 Toyota RAV4 SUVs in the U.S. to resolve a battery issue that comes with a fire risk. 

The automotive company said the safety recall is surrounding the size of 12-volt batteries with smaller top dimensions for 2013-2018 models. If the hold-down clamp is not tightened correctly and the SUV is driven with forceful turns then the battery could move causing the vehicle to short circuit and increasing the risk of a fire. 

The company said they are currently working on the remedy.

When the solution is available, dealers will replace the hold-down clamp, battery tray and positive terminal cover with improved ones for free. 

Toyota said they plan to notify customers by the end of the year.

The vehicles, under the 2020-2023 models, were recalled over an issue with mounting tabs on the vehicles’ bumpers that could cause parts to detach.
