Why Your RAV4 Squeaks When Braking | Stop That Front Brake Noise! Guide

Описание: Hearing a sharp squeal or squeak from the front brakes of your Toyota RAV4 during light to moderate braking? You’re not alone. This video explains the symptom, how dealers diagnose it, and what typically fixes it for 2019–2025 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid owners.

Toyota released an official Technical Service Bulletin for this condition: T-SB-0001-22 (Rev2). On NHTSA, it appears under Manufacturer Communications with NHTSA ID 11012761. A TSB is not a recall—it’s guidance for service departments on how to repair a known issue when the customer complains. Coverage isn’t automatic; whether it’s paid by warranty depends on your vehicle’s warranty status and dealer evaluation.

What dealers do: verify the noise, then install the specified front anti-squeal shim kit and properly lubricate pad/shim contact points. In some cases, technicians also replace front pads and address glazed rotors if needed. Many owners report the squeal is reduced or eliminated after the shim kit service.

Affected vehicles:
• Toyota RAV4 (gas), model years 2019–2025
• Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, model years 2019–2025

DTCs: This is usually a noise condition with no diagnostic trouble codes set. If you see any brake warning lights, have the car scanned—codes would point to a different issue.

Tip: To speed things up at the dealer, record the sound on your phone and reference T-SB-0001-22 (Rev2) and NHTSA ID 11012761 when describing the concern.
