4 recalls covering model years 2020, 2024, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Some Toyota Corolla and Corolla Hybrid vehicles may have a steering intermediate shaft that develops cracks during the manufacturing process. Over time, the shaft may fracture and possibly detach from the steering column, so it no longer connects properly. Dealers will replace the intermediate steering shaft to fix this, at no cost to owners. Toyota has already mailed notification letters to owners about this issue.
A software error in the computer that controls your vehicle's skid control and braking system can cause a loss of power brake assist when you turn a corner. Power brake assist is the system that reduces the effort needed to press the brake pedal.
On some C-HR, Corolla, and Corolla Hybrid vehicles, the rear seat belts use a locking mechanism that responds to how the belt webbing moves. In certain situations, this locking mechanism may not lock the belt as it's supposed to. If the vehicle is in a crash that involves more than one impact, the seat belt may not hold the occupant in place properly.
The brake booster pump on these vehicles may fail. When it does, the Vehicle Stability Control system deactivates and the vehicle loses its power assist for braking. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard covering electronic stability control systems.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
