Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the connector for the audio display unit may have been damaged during assembly. This could cause the backup camera system to not activate when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when in reverse gear.Safety Risk:
A rearview camera that does not turn on could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Actions:
Toyota will notify owners by mail including instructions on how to inspect for the issue. Owners who are uncomfortable inspecting for themselves can take their vehicle to a dealer to have the backup camera system inspected. The audio display unit will be replaced with a new one if necessary.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2019382.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Toyota Rav4 Hybrid, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Toyota: 312 in the register, and 594 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2019.
