Buying a used 2018 Toyota 4runner? Check these 5 recalls first
The 2018 Toyota 4Runner has 5 recalls in this group. Loose steering and suspension bolts and a fuel pump that may fail and stall the engine are the principal mechanical concerns.

Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify steering and suspension bolt recall completion.
- Request documentation of the fuel pump recall repair.
- Confirm grille overlay and weight-label recall work.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
