The recall (number 26v049) is a serious safety concern, however the dealer states there is no remedy available despite a clearly described available remedy ("Toyota dealers will modify the left and right rear door switch circuits free of charge, to prevent the switch from activating even if it is shorted.

I was driving at a slow speed in a parking lot on October 10, 2025 at 4:20 p. M. When the car suddenly stopped. When I looked down I saw that it was in neutral. I had not done anything to the gear shift and there was nothing in the area that could have shifted the car from drive to neutral. The car is brand new - this happened at approximately 400 miles odometer.
