Build data for the 2011 Toyota RAV4 sits behind every page of this factory service and repair manual, so the specifications, clearances and torque sequences you work to are the ones Toyota published for this year and for the engine actually in front of you, whether that is the 2.5L four (2AR-FE) or the 3.5L V6 (2GRFE), rather than a figure carried across from an adjacent model year or a different trim.

Known issues on the 2011 RAV4. Nine recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three of them repeat the same rear suspension defect: failure of the rear tie rod could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. One covers the power window devices and controls, where the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant. One covers the rear seat belts, as a cut seat belt may not properly restrain the seat occupant. One covers the front passenger seat occupant sensing system, which may be out of calibration. One covers an inaccurate label that could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. One covers the front seat heater, whose copper strand heating element may short circuit if damaged, increasing the risk of a fire. The last covers the curtain shield airbags, which hold propellant with the incorrect specification: in the event of a crash, the airbags may not deploy. Alongside those recalls, the 2011 RAV4 carries 402 owner complaints and 138 technical service bulletins on record.
Whether you are measuring rear tie rod play, tracing a power window fault back to its contacts or working through a scheduled service on the four-cylinder, the procedure you follow is Toyota's own and the specification you check against belongs to this 2011 RAV4.
