FWIW, my 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 Hybrid Limited has had 2 recalls so far:
1)
Replaced the Fuel Tank due to a design flaw that prevented you from filling it up to capacity
2) Later recall -
Replaced the Fuel Pump because a design flaw the pressure was too low and would sometimes cause the car to stall from fuel starvation (I didn't experience this thankfully).
One of my previous TOYOTA Highlander (2011) had a recall to
Replace the Entire Rear Hatch due to a design flaw that could cause it to open unintentionally. Also got
2 flat tires over time due to carpy OEM Toyo tires.
Another previous TOYOTA Highlander (2017) had a recall (forgot the reason) that it was in the shop for a week.
Also got
2 flat tires (AGAIN) in less than 3500 miles due to carpy OEM Toyo tires replaced them at 3500 miles with goodyears.
Almost forgot, a new
Mercedes Benz ML430 I had them do a buyback due to excessive vibration at highway speeds. They said the driveshaft(s) were defective so I said they could have it back
My ST I have brought it in for a few 'fit and finish' issues, but nothing mechanical thus far and the dealer fixed them promptly. No rattles or squeaks thus far either, actually seems much more 'solid' than any of the Toyotas.
My point is that I have never had the experience of purchasing a new car that didn't have some 'gremlins' to work through.
