What is a Toyota Recall?

A Toyota recall is a term we use for recalls on Toyota vehicles that have a component that have been recalled. A recall occurs when the manufacturer of a vehicle, or the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) determines that a significant component on a vehicle fails to meet vehicle safety requirements and must be repaired free of charge.

How Do I Find Out About Toyota Recalls?

Once a recall has been recognized, like any other manufacturer, Toyota is required to send notifications by mail to all registered owners of affected vehicles.

For owners who may have recently moved, or for those who purchased their vehicle pre-owned, there’s another way to instantly discover whether or not there are any open recalls on your vehicle. Simply log onto the Toyota USA website, and select the Toyota Recall lookup tool. From there, you’ll enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and any open recalls on your vehicle.

What are the Benefits of Learning About a Recall?

One of the main benefits of learning about a Toyota Recall is safety. Learning about and rectifying any open recalls on your vehicle ensures that it offers the safety that it’s expected to provide.

How Often I Should Get a Recall Service?

In a perfect world, you don’t want your Toyota to ever be recalled, but the unfortunate truth is that sometimes this is out of Toyota’s control. Because there are dozens of safety components on a vehicle, some are made by other manufacturers and a defect with any of these components can trigger a Toyota recall.
