RAV4 HV/Prime "CableGate" Emerging Issue

I have learned about the "Cablegate" on Rav4Prime in another thread. IIRC, there are some class action lawsuits started on this already. What I don't remember is that if Toyota's replacement part with a cracked opening on the "cable cover" part mentioned in the video is the solution, it seems to be a rather simple and easy fix to prevent this to happen again. Are the newer Rav4 Prime models fixed this problem now?

I just put my name on the waiting list to be put on the waiting list to order a Rav4 Prime at our local dealer. It could be anywhere from 4-8 months wait for the delivery if I am lucky, so I was told.

 

From the video at 7:03 and on, the replacement part is just a cable cover with a big side portion of the plastic removed (see photo below). My understanding is that this is to prevent corrosive liquid that does get into the cable harness to be trapped and causing further corrosion. So, yes once the corrosion happens then the fix is very expensive since the entire cable has to be removed and replaced. But for a preventive fix, all they have to do is to replace that plastic casing.

I think Toyota is just weighing out the cost and benefit of recalling all Rav4Prime sold to date and fixing the problem now to prevent further damage or just wait and see how much such corrosion damage does occur. Even if it ends up in a courtroom, for them if it is cheaper to deal with individual cases than total recall, I am sure they will pick that route.

I was a class member of the 2005 Sienna defective run-flat tire lawsuit. In the end, Toyota nor the Dunlop (Goodyear brand?) tire admitted that the run-flat tires standard on the 2005 AWD Sienna were defective, but agreed to extend the warranty and replaced the tire for free ... but with the same allegedly "defective" tires. I got a free set of tires under that agreement but still had to replace the second set shortly before 50Kmiles. I opted to go with conventional tires that were much cheaper and more durable and probably safer.
