What 134 owners told NHTSA about the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid

We were traveling across country from Michigan to Arizona. We were 50 miles outside Tucson, AZ on [XXX]. Traveling 80 mph in a 75 mph zone, in passing lane and felt like car exploded and all airbags deployed and we came to a quick stop. No major injuries to either of us. One vehicle incident, did not collide with anything or hit any debris. It was a clear day, road conditions good, no noises, lights etc. My husband was able to keep from rolling and we came to a stop with many semi's etc flying by, very scary. When we were able to safely get out and call 911, there was significant drivers side front end damage around tire area and inside near axle. Looked like something broke inside car, sheered off bottom of tire. Police arrived and had to push vehicle on to shoulder of road. He assessed scene and thought it had to be a mechanicla failure as there was no other vehicle or debris on site. We did contact our insurance company and subsequently it was totaled. We also have Toyota investigating what the cause was if it was a faulty part or mechanical failure. We have not heard back but did receive the "recording of time of crash". I have a short video of damage but I'm unable to attach it. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I received from Toyota USA via USPS a "Safety Recall Notice" regarding my 2022 RAV4 hybrid. Both the local Toyota dealer and Toyota Brand Engagement Center told me there is no recall on my vehicle. Neither could tell me why I received the notice. When I searched NHTSA recall database for Recall No. 22V-519, it referenced an unrelated fire hazard on HYundai and Kia vehicles. Attached please find the notice and its envelope. Sending false information like this creates a perception of danger, when perhaps none exists
