Toyota Motor Corp., which built about 2,500 electric vehicles over three years with Tesla Motors Inc., said it's recalling the RAV4 EVs to repair components supplied by Tesla.

A software flaw in the RAV4 EV's propulsion system may cause the vehicle to shift into neutral and result in a complete loss of driving power, increasing the risk of a crash, according to a statement posted on Toyota's U.S. website. Tesla supplied the component that Toyota dealers will repair, Cindy Knight, a Toyota spokeswoman, wrote in an email message.

Toyota doesn't discuss supplier relations in the context of product recalls or cost details, Knight said. Ricardo Reyes, a Tesla spokesman, didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment sent outside normal business hours.
