I took less than 3 years for the road salt to ruin the "cablegate" on my 2021 RAV4. Fortunately it is still covered by the 3 year warranty. Toyota claims the 8 year warranty for the hybrid system doesn't cover this issue. So after 3 years this will cost you $6k or more to repair. Toyota doesn't have a proper fix for this problem either so 3 years after the repair you will be doing it again. I'll be dealing the RAV4 away on a new Honda shortly.

Quite amazing that Toyota hasn't properly addressed the issue. Adding a few years to a warranty doesn't help the MANY owners who keep their cars 10+ years. Plus.....those who buy used and then have a major expense to pay for after year eight. If you live where winters involve salt on the roads (MN for example) this is a deal breaker for me.

I’m interested in buying an XLE hybrid and now I find this. It’s a real bummer, since the hybrid adds such a boost in fuel economy. I too am dubious about this “fix.” What I pretty much got from that video is you may want to drill drainage holes (and possibly void your warranty 🫤).

YURS IS STILL VERY CLEAN . Please don't wait and protect it. Please read my comments below. Shilding removal DOESN'T SET FAULT CODES!!! If shielding was there to provide ground, then corrosion would disconnect it and set a code. Shilding only supports cables! On my 2019Rav4 without disconnecting electrical cable I: 1- detached the connector assembly from rear drive housing (there are two bolts at the top of connector assembly mounting it to housing) 2- opened the orange cover, removed completely the shilding, cleaned the exposed cables and connector aluminum housing 3- filled the two orange cover pieces with clear high temp. silicone, closed them on exposed cables and attached to connector (excess silicone was pushed out during closing of the orange cover) 4- applied silicone all around the connector joint to prevent any moisture and dirt from getting into cavity where the rubber seal is between the two connector parts No fault codes were set and there more than 2500 miles on the odometer since the fix. Applying grease creates magnet 🧲 for dirt and dirt has ability to retain moisture. By eliminating cavities for collecting contaminants I might be able to avoid costly replacement of this long cable, which runs all the way to engine compartment. The orange cover on my vehicle has a full back piece. On later models Toyota released connector cover with large part of the back cut out to improve drying. However it didn't help, but only increased opportunity for collecting dirt.
