    Looks like US models as well, but Prius is not listed.

    No, just the Rav 4 in all versions. I wonder if the engines were built in Ontario or if they come from Japan, to be installed
    in Canada?

    Full engine replacement, if engine serial number is within the affected range!

    Toyota is recalling 52,000 vehicles in North America over a heightened risk for coolant leakage, which could lead to engine overheating and damage, possibly stalling and even a fire.

    The recall covers the 2020-model-year Toyota Camry, Camry Hybrid and Lexus ES 300h models; as well as 2019- and 2020-model-year Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid SUVs.

    In the United States, around 44,000 vehicles may be affected; in Canada, that number is 8,214 cars and trucks.
