Official summary

Some 2026 RAV4 HV vehicles may display a Distance to Empty (DTE) that is higher than expected at initial fill-up. The DTE is computed using the amount of fuel remaining and a learned value that is based on the average fuel consumption.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
