Can I get my 2014 Toyota RAV4 EV recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?

Does an open recall affect my 2014 Toyota RAV4 EV's trade-in or resale value?
An unresolved recall can negatively impact trade-in offers and resale because some buyers and dealers check NHTSA records before purchase. Having recalls completed at a certified dealer like Nalley Toyota of Roswell protects value and gives buyers confidence that OEM repairs were completed correctly. Use our online trade tool at sell-your-car-online.htm after recalls are cleared to improve appraisal outcomes.
Can I fail a state inspection because of an unresolved 2014 Toyota RAV4 EV recall?

Defect
