Buying a used 2021 Toyota Avalon? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 21 owner complaints on file

The 2021 Toyota Avalon has 2 recalls in this group, both concerning airbag performance: the driver airbag may underperform, and an airbag sensor may block deployment. Airbags also lead the listed complaint areas with 12 of the 21 NHTSA owner complaints. These are unverified reports. Other listed areas are engine with 4, vehicle speed control with 3, and forward collision avoidance with 2. Recall documentation and any history of airbag warnings are particularly relevant to this record.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify completion of both applicable airbag recalls.
3. Ask about airbag warning lights and diagnostic records.
4. Review engine, speed-control, and collision-avoidance service history.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
