Buying a used 2019 Toyota Avalon? Check these 4 recalls first
The 2019 Avalon carries two high-severity themes: airbags that may not deploy in a crash, and two separate fuel-pump recalls covering pumps that can fail and stall the engine. A fourth recall is only a load-capacity label that can become unreadable. None of the four carried a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Owners filed 70 unverified NHTSA complaints, citing 4 crashes and 5 injuries, clustered in electrical and fuel/propulsion — the same areas the recalls address.
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.
- Ask for proof both fuel-pump recalls were completed, not just one
- Run the VIN for the open airbag non-deployment recall
- Test drive long enough to note any stalling or electrical faults
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
