Recalls
3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Electrical, Airbags Vehicle recall #18V685000 · 2018 · 168,187 vehicles
What's wrong: The air bag electronic control unit (ECU) May erroneously detect a fault during the vehicle start-up self check. If this occurs, the ECU May not deploy the airbags as intended, in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 208, "occupant crash protection," and 214, "side impact protection."
Why it matters: If the air bags do not deploy as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the air bag ECU, free of charge. The recall began October 26, 2018.
Fuel system Vehicle recall #19V097000 · 2019 · 205 vehicles
What's wrong: The fuel filler pipe May not have been properly reconnected to the fuel tank during an inspection after vehicle assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 301, "fuel system integrity."
Why it matters: The improperly connected filler pipe May leak fuel, which, in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel filler pipe, replacing it if necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 19, 2019.
Equipment Vehicle recall #19V244000 · 2019 · 3,634 vehicles
What's wrong: The text on the load capacity label May become illegible. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 110, "tire selection and rims."
Why it matters: If the driver cannot read the label, they May unknowingly overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Gst will notify owners, and dealers will provide corrected load carrying capacity modification labels, free of charge. The recall began May 24, 2019.
