Defect SummaryToyota is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2011 rav4 and 2010 lexus hs250h passenger vehicles manufactured from october 2005 through september 2010. if the nuts for adjusting the rear wheel alignment are improperly tightened when an alignment is performed, the thread portion of the arm (shaft and turn-buckle) may become loose and rust. this may lead to thread wear in the turn-buckle, causing the arm to separate, which could result in a loss of vehicle control.
Consequence SummaryFailure of the rear tie rod could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

 I was parallel parking the car. i pulled alongside the curb behind a volvo and stopped the car. with the car stopped and my foot on the brake i moved my right hand to press the park button and to my surprise the car leaped (5 feet) forward into the volvo causing damage to my car (hood, grill, bumper and right quarter panel) and the volvo (rear end). the gas engine was not running when i was parking only the electric engine was running. we were fortunate that my wife, son and i were not injured. they will not get back in this car again. i bought the car new and have been driving it for a little over 2 years. *tr
