Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2002 model year cars.
- Automatic Transmission Engine Control Module ECU Solder FailureSerious
2000–2003 RAV4 automatic models equipped with the 2.0-litre 1AZ-FE engine suffer from cracked surface-mount solder joints on the circuit board of the engine control unit (ECU). The cracked connections disrupt output signals to the transmission shift solenoids, causing harsh banging shifts between 1st and 2nd gear, delayed reverse engagement, slipping gears, and false diagnostic trouble codes (P0750, P0753, P0755). If ignored, the violent shifts strip clutch pack linings and damage internal planetary gears.
- Front Suspension Coil Spring Salt Corrosion FractureSerious
The front MacPherson suspension coil springs are prone to corrosion fatigue and sudden cracking, accelerated by winter road grit and moisture accumulating in the lower spring perches. If the lower coil fractures, the broken spring end can foul the inner wing or puncture the front tyre sidewall at speed, posing a severe safety danger. Toyota issued UK safety recall campaign R/2004/048 to inspect and replace affected springs.
