RAV4 Exhaust Flap Issue

I'm writing about a potential issue with my 2021 Toyota RAV4 gasoline engine, currently at 61355 km. There's an error stored regarding the exhaust flaps. The exhaust noise is louder, and there's a noisy engine sound after a cold start. I suspect a defective exhaust flap. Anyone experienced this?

Sounds like the exhaust flap motor is shot. Is it throwing any specific fault codes?

Thanks. I don't have the specific fault code right now. Is there a way to confirm the defective exhaust flap without it?

Those symptoms definitely point to exhaust flap trouble. Best to have a workshop take a look at the exhaust components.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion. The workshop confirmed it was the exhaust flap. Repair cost was 190€. Much appreciated!
