Yup, and now Rav 4 owners are safer...thanks to the Moose Test.

Who cares what the safety rating is? This test clearly showed an issue, and clearly its now been addressed by Toyota.

And now that they have fixed the design flaw with just a software update (retrofit should not be a problem), the rav4 is now better at evasive maneuvering shall the occasion arise.
