Other wheel or tire problem on the 2017 Toyota Rav4
Only 5 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.
When other wheel or tire problem gets reported
There are 8 reports of other wheel or tire problem on the 2017 Toyota Rav4, 5 with a mileage attached. That is too few to place the failure on the odometer with any confidence.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 60,000 miles. It is the 14th most-reported problem on this model year.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | 6,500 miles | — | — |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Putting it right typically runs $200–$1,500 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 20 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2014, at a median of 100 miles, and latest on the 2000 at 155,000 miles.
By volume the 2007 carries the most reports, with 19; the 2017 has 8. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
Purchased new 2017 toyota rav4. With less than 1000 miles on the car, I had a flat traveling on the toll road. Speed limit was 70mph. I was on the toll road for about 20 miles. The front driver side tire had a large sidewall hole. I took the tire back to the toyota dealer service department. They gave one quick look and I was told that "no warranty was on the tire by toyota or bridgestone." I had no choice but to replace the tire at my own expense. See attached pictures of the tire. I have the tire in my possession if someone wishes to inspect it for manufacturer failure.
There's a recall on my 2017 toyota rav4 and the dealership failed to mention it. This car was purchased brand new in july 2017. The recall was made june 15 2017. Recall id#265486. Recall is 17r2 for tires. Safety is very important here as I have kids in the car sometimes. Please do something. The dealership said they're not responsible for it. The also has the following noticeably problem when in motion or driving mode: suspension issues: struts,spindle, control arms, ball joints, stabilizers, and related components may present a safety hazard. It is very scary to hear that trutle grinding noise.
We purchased a new 2017 toyota rav4 that came with a "temporary" spare tire and wheel. I purchased an oem 2017 rav4 wheel and tire that matches the normal tires for convenience and especially safety reasons. I also attempted to place the full size tire and wheel in the wheel well of the rav4 with no success. In short, the wheel well is not adequate for a full size tire and projects approximately two inches above the floor. It also can not be secured to the vehicle. After evaluating the situation, I called the toyota consumer department and after they consulted with their technical personnel, I was told that the full size wheel will not fit in the spare tire wheel well! On page 644 of the 2017 rav4 owners manual there is a direct reference to a full size wheel storage area in addition on pages 642 and 645 to a temporary tire use, etc. The rav4 temporary tire is not the same circumference an full size tires; thus, the toyota consumer department stated that due to this situation, temporary tires must not be mounted on the front of the vehicle. If there is a flat tire on the front of the rav4, a person must mount a rear tire on the…

How far this goes
This page is kept out of search results because 8 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.
Complaints are voluntary, so 8 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other wheel or tire problem happen on the 2017 Toyota Rav4?
Across 5 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 5,000 miles. A quarter were filed before — and a quarter after —. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other wheel or tire problem on the 2017 Toyota Rav4?
8 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.0 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
