2021 TOYOTA RAV4 — Complaint #1699913

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY filed October 15, 2020

NHTSA complaint #1699913 (ODI reference 11364557) concerns a 2021 TOYOTA RAV4 and was filed on October 15, 2020. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 12, 2020. The vehicle had 1,500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:sun/moon roof assembly, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA RAV4 cohort independently describe similar visibility:sun/moon roof assembly failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2021 TOYOTA RAV4 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
