Just as Toyota looked to be clear of its recent recall woes, the NHTSA has opened an investigation into Camry and RAV4 models from the 2007 model year due to a potential fire risk. Although the probe is currently labeled a preliminary investigation, it could lead to a recall.
Toyota told Reuters in a statement that it is aware of the investigation and plans to fully cooperate with the NHTSA.
If the probe ultimately leads to a recall, it would be Toyota's largest since its rash of unintended acceleration recalls that began in 2009. In total those recalls included more than 10 million vehicles worldwide.
