Owners allege the faulty tank only allows for a <strong>maximum of 10 gallons<\/strong> of fuel to be pumped even when the tank is almost empty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toyota advertises the RAV4 Hybrid fuel tanks has a capacity of 14.5 gallons and a range of <a href=\"https:\/\/mycarvoice.com\/news\/toyota-rav4-hybrid-mpg\/\">580<\/a> miles before empty.

Even when low fuel warning light is on, owners are unable to fully fill the tank to the advertised 14.5 gallons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reports of fuel tank problems started to emerge in 2019. Toyota even released a statement confirming that the issue is \u201cprimarily related to a variation in the shape of the fuel tank and the position of the fuel sender gauge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plaintiffs allege that&nbsp;<em>Automotive News<\/em>&nbsp;reported in 2020 that when Toyota redesigned the RAV4 for the 2019 model year, Toyota changed the design of its fuel tank from \u201ca longitudinal 14.8-gallon tank roughly shaped like a Native American papoose to a latitudinal, saddle-shaped design with 14.5-gallon capacity, according to parts diagrams\u201d to accommodate the location of the electric motor\u2019s battery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The defect of the redesigned fuel tank causes the affected vehicles to have a markedly lower driving range than designed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toyota Models Affected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to publicly available data, the total number of Class Vehicles sold is approximately 186,000 vehicles.

The Extended Program will increase the original Customer Support Program by seven (7) years and 50,000 miles for a total coverage period of 15 years from the date the Subject Vehicle was initially sold\/leased or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first, on original parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toyota will also pay all settlement administration costs, including class notice and any award of attorneys\u2019 fees, expenses, and Class Representative service awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Class Members may exclude themselves from the Settlement or object to the Settlement, but they may not do both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.mycarvoice.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarvoice.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vehicle-reliability-reports-CTA-1-1024x474.png\" alt=\"Vehicle reliability research tool.\" class=\"wp-image-166723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarvoice.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vehicle-reliability-reports-CTA-1-1024x474.png 1024w, https:\/\/mycarvoice.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vehicle-reliability-reports-CTA-1-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/mycarvoice.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vehicle-reliability-reports-CTA-1-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/mycarvoice.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vehicle-reliability-reports-CTA-1-24x11.png 24w, https:\/\/mycarvoice.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vehicle-reliability-reports-CTA-1-36x17.png 36w, https:\/\/mycarvoice.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vehicle-reliability-reports-CTA-1-48x22.png 48w, https:\/\/mycarvoice.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vehicle-reliability-reports-CTA-1.png 1340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Action RAV4 Hybrid Owners Need to Take<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately <strong>45 days<\/strong> after the court preliminarily approves the settlement, you will receive a class notice describing your options.
