Toyota Corolla recalls

12 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024. 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.

Toyota and Lexus vehicles may have disabled driver's airbag high

Reported 2025-01-29 · Campaign 25V040000 · Model years: 2023

Certain Toyota Corolla, Corolla Cross, Corolla Cross Hybrid, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid and Tacoma vehicles, plus Lexus RX350, NX250 and NX350 models, may have been repaired incorrectly under an earlier recall. Inside the steering column is a coiled ribbon of wiring that carries power to the airbag in the steering wheel. A weld in that connection may not have been done properly, so the connection can come apart and shut the driver's airbag off. The airbag then will not inflate in a crash.

Toyota Corolla steering shaft can crack and break apart critical

Reported 2024-11-21 · Campaign 24V878000 · Model years: 2023, 2024

The metal shaft that connects your steering wheel to the steering gear was made with cracks in it. Over time that shaft can break, and it may come apart from the steering column. If that happens while you are driving, the steering wheel stops turning the front wheels and you cannot steer the car. The cracks came from how the shaft was made at the factory. Your dealer will replace the whole shaft with a new one at no cost.

Gulf States Toyota vehicles have wrong weight capacity labels low

Reported 2024-07-23 · Campaign 24V548000 · Model years: 2024

These Toyotas were sold with accessories added through Gulf States Toyota. When accessories are added, a sticker is supposed to be placed on the vehicle showing how much less weight it can now carry in people and cargo. On these vehicles that sticker shows the wrong numbers. If you go by it, you could load the vehicle heavier than it is rated for. Gulf States Toyota is mailing corrected labels to owners at no charge; nothing on the vehicle needs repair.

Toyota and Lexus front passenger airbag may not inflate high

Reported 2023-12-20 · Campaign 23V865000 · Model years: 2020, 2021

These Toyota and Lexus vehicles have a sensor in the front passenger seat that tells the airbag system whether someone is sitting there. A short circuit can develop inside that sensor. If it does, the front passenger airbag may not inflate during a crash, so whoever is riding in that seat could be hurt worse than they otherwise would be. The dealer will inspect the sensor and replace it if needed, free of charge. Owner letters are being mailed in stages.

Toyota and Lexus steering wiring can disable driver's airbag high

Reported 2023-07-12 · Campaign 23V480000 · Model years: 2023

Inside the steering column is a coiled ribbon of wiring that keeps the driver's airbag connected as the steering wheel turns. On these vehicles, one electrical connection in that part may not have been welded well enough. If it comes apart, the driver's airbag is switched off and will not inflate in a crash. This recall also means these vehicles do not meet the federal crash-protection standard for occupant safety. Dealers will inspect this part and replace it at no cost if needed.

Toyota and Lexus fuel pumps can fail, stalling engine high

Reported 2020-11-04 · Campaign 20V682000 · Model years: 2020

The fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and pushes gasoline to the engine. On these vehicles that pump can fail. If it does, the engine can stall — shut off — while you are driving, including in traffic or at highway speed. The recall covers a long list of Toyota and Lexus cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. Your dealer will replace the fuel pump assembly with an improved version, free of charge.

Toyota Corolla and Avalon airbags may not deploy in crash high

Reported 2020-01-17 · Campaign 20V024000 · Model years: 2018, 2019

The computer that decides when to fire the airbags can malfunction during certain crashes. If that happens, the airbags may not inflate, and the seat belt pretensioners — the parts that pull your belt tight in a collision — may not work either. You would have no way of knowing until you were actually in an accident. A dealer will inspect the computer and, if needed, add a noise filter to the wiring connected to it.

Toyota and Lexus Vehicles: Fuel Pump Can Stall Engine high

Reported 2020-01-13 · Campaign 20V012000 · Model years: 2018, 2019

The fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and pushes gas to the engine. On these Toyota and Lexus vehicles, that pump can fail. If it fails, the engine can stall, meaning it shuts off while you are driving. A stall in traffic leaves you without power and can lead to a crash. This recall started in January 2020 and Toyota expanded it twice in March 2020, adding some model years and removing others, so the covered list changed. A dealer replaces the pump at no charge.

Toyota Corolla and C-HR rear seat belts may not lock medium

Reported 2019-12-11 · Campaign 19V877000 · Model years: 2020

The rear seat belts in these cars have a locking part that is supposed to grab and hold the belt when it is pulled hard. On the affected cars that part may not lock the way it should. In a crash where the car is hit more than once, the belt may not hold the person in the seat properly, so a back seat passenger could be hurt worse. A dealer will check the build dates of the rear belts and replace them if needed.

Toyota models carry incorrect weight capacity label with floor mats low

Reported 2019-06-28 · Campaign 19V503000 · Model years: 2018, 2019

These Toyotas came with factory-installed floor mats, and the sticker that lists how much weight the vehicle can safely carry with those mats in place may show the wrong numbers. If you go by that sticker when loading people and cargo, you could put more weight in the vehicle than it is built to handle. An overloaded vehicle is harder to control. The fix is a corrected sticker, provided free, that you place over the wrong one.

Toyota load capacity label may become unreadable low

Reported 2019-03-27 · Campaign 19V244000 · Model years: 2019

Every vehicle has a sticker, usually in the driver's door opening, that tells you how much weight it can safely carry, including passengers and cargo. On these vehicles the printing on that sticker can fade until you cannot read it. If you cannot see those numbers, you may load the vehicle heavier than it was built to handle, which can affect how it steers, brakes, and wears its tires. The dealer will give you a corrected replacement label.

Toyota Corolla hatchback transmission part can cause stalling high

Reported 2018-12-19 · Campaign 18V901000 · Model years: 2019

Some 2019 Toyota Corolla hatchbacks with the automatic (CVT) transmission have a problem inside the part that links the engine to the transmission. Small blades on a pump inside it can break off, especially when the car is under heavy load, such as climbing a hill or accelerating hard. If that happens, the engine can stall and the car can lose power while you are driving. Dealers are replacing the whole transmission and that part free of charge.
