All the 'so-called' improvements and still 'more' remedies needed

I'm not due for a freebie service until Sept so I'll just wait until then for any recalls, bulletins, campaigns....

This should be interesting

 

I got this today in my Toyota app. It sounds like it's about the cablegate again.

That sounds like Toyota might be retrofitting the new so-called black"Saran Wrap" or "condom" wrapping on pre-existing defective cables rather than installing a whole new cable.

Anyone else got this as well?

I did some anti rusting coating myself on the exposed grounding mesh. I wonder what's the service provided here.

Nothing to worry about. The campaign does not start until Mar 30, 2050. Either a Typo or this is a draft of the message that got sent out too early by mistake.

 

Looks like an excellent solution for the poorly designed connector. Will be inquiring about it when I take the wife's 2020 in for the air bag recall.

April Fools' joke?

April Fools' joke?

It says it is service campaign 25TD01. There is no such thing as a "TD" service campaign. There is a "TA" and "TE" customer support programs.

With the date being 2050, and the "TD" being nonexistent, it is clearly spam/spoof/whatever.

Edit: there are also "TT" (tech tip) documents.

So did the Toyota app get hacked!? Hard to believe Toyota would do an April Fools joke about something as serious as Cablegate. If hackers can infiltrate the Toyota app is it really safe to use? A poster on Reddit Rav4 Club today says he also got the message.

 

This also shows up in the web owner's portal under full health report.

 

Interesting. I got the same thing on my app. Since it says, see your dealer, I just may drop by my dealer to ask him. I'm going to bet he says "huh?"

All recalls and service campaigns for a particular vehicle will show up on the Toyota web site: Look up Safety Recalls & Service Campaigns by VIN | toyota.com

For my vehicle, it says there are no recalls or service campaigns. Surely Toyota would update the web site before they sent out notices on the app, thus further proof that the app message is fake.

 

further proof that the app message is fake.

Wow! Amazing that Toyota internet security is weak and the app can be hacked. What owner information is being pirated?

 

Just received this service campaign notice for my 2023 R4P - 25TD01.

 

Just noticed post on reddit that it's dated March 30, 2050 but this was delivered on Toyota's app so must be a typo instead of a prank.

 

Awful close to April fools Day

But does this mean they'll modify the cable preemptively?

Edit: when I posted this I somehow missed most of the posts above this. Weird stuff.

 

Yes, this is a known issue. It seems to be gaining more traction as it takes a while and wet/salty road conditions for the cable to begin corroding. Check out the subreddit r/toyotacablegate for more info. Car Care Nut on YouTube talks about it in his RAV4 videos.

 

We are well aware of the issue and there are a few very long threads on cablegate. This thread is about what appears to be a Service Campaign for the issue.

 

I did some anti rusting coating myself on the exposed grounding mesh. I wonder what's the service provided here.

I know from experience in an industrial setting that wire mesh is notoriously difficult to coat, even if you have the luxury of vacuum when you apply a sealant or resin. If you leave any pockets or bubbles, you could make the problem worse. In an automotive setting, water will find a way to wick anywhere that isn't completely sealed, and if it's in an air pocket, it won't drain or dry as easily. Basically, any fix that doesn't completely seal from water getting in is just as likely to trap water and speed up corrosion. This is what happened with the original design of the MGR connector housing.

 

so now that we know this is legit - do I need to wait for the recall date to exist or can I try to schedule this now? If I'm doing it, before winter seems better!

 

The service campaign (25TD01) says to call the dealer who will apply "a wire harness protector seal to the HV Floor Under Wire Connector."

 

Does anyone have a full copy of the document? Please attach.

 

It just came out yesterday, so there is nothing on the web yet. If you sign into the Toyota Owner site you should see it in your Vehicle Health Report listed as a "service campaign" and not a recall. If it's in your report, then you are part of the campaign and should schedule an appointment for them to do the repair. Full text below:
Status Remedy Available Title: 25TD01 Rear Traction Motor Cable Corrosion - Multiple Model & Model Year Toyota Hybrid (AWD) Vehicles Campaign Date 9/18/2025 Description: The subject vehicles are equipped with a rear motor unit and an HV Floor Under Wire that provide high voltage to operate the motor. Mud, water, or road salt could potentially enter the HV Floor Underwire connector housing and could cause corrosion over time. Excessive corrosion could cause AM Radio Static during certain driving cycles, or the vehicle may not start. Campaign Expiration 9/11/2028 Dealer Reference Id 25TD01 Remedy: Any authorized Toyota dealer will apply a wire harness protector seal to the HV Floor Under Wire Connector

 

Can you screen shot this for us and post please?

 

I don't know what a service campaign is but I'll give my local dealer a call about this I guess.

 

This also showed up in my Toyota app under Health. Just as Rebmo posted.
I have a 2022 J-vin Limited.

 

I'm going to the dealer today to pick up an oil filter and drain plug gasket/washer to do an oil change in the near future so I'm going to ask the service dept wassup.

 

I have a 2025 RAV4 Hybrid on order. It is being manufactured in Japan about now. Would you feel that since a fix is out via the new communication that the changes have already been incorporated into the current builds?

 

I believe they have been on there for a while now.

 

So does ANYONE know what the dealer actually does? Does he clean off any existing corrosion before applying the new "wire harness protector seal?" What actually is this new "seal?" Is there a new TSB associated with this new service campaign that explains things in detail? It all seems very vague and cryptic to me.

 

I have similar questions. I was going to try to talk to service today but the place was really busy and my daughter was waiting outside so I didn't want to make her wait even longer. apologies for my failure, everyone.

I'm assuming the wrap is what is on the newer hybrids/primes but obviously I can't know for sure yet.

 

This service campaign now shows up on my dealerships website as a service you can select to schedule an appointment for.

 

nice. I tried to type in the number for the service campaign at the dealer website and nothing yet.


so I happened to be under the rav4 so I took some pics of where my cable is at right now. last fall I sprayed it with some electronics cleaner and then some marine CRC. doesn't look awful but I'm not a corrosion expert. I reapplied while I was there.

 

I can't speak for everyone but I did not.

 

This is DC voltage, it’s not 3 phase power. The braided wire you see is shielding. When that corrodes, you start to have issues with AM radio and possibly other symptoms.
