Buying a used 2022 Toyota 4runner? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2022 4Runner's recall record is light. The only mechanical item is a driver-side high beam that may not work; the other two are weight-label issues — labels that can fade and an incorrect weight limit sticker. Nothing is rated high or critical and none carry stop-driving or park-outside advisories. NHTSA holds 39 unverified owner complaints (5 crashes, 1 fire, 7 injuries described), spread across suspension, air bags and forward collision avoidance with no clear concentration.
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.
- Switch on the high beams and confirm the driver-side lamp lights.
- Compare the door-jamb weight limit label against the correct rating for this trim.
- Inspect the suspension for noise or play and confirm no airbag warning light is lit.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
