Buying a used 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross? Check these 4 recalls first
Every recall for this year involves an airbag: two cover a front passenger airbag that may not open properly, and two cover steering wiring that can leave the driver's airbag disabled. Complaint volume with NHTSA is noticeably higher than the 2022 version, concentrated in engine, electrical system and steering, areas the recalls only partly touch. Those complaints are unverified owner reports and include crashes and injuries.
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 dealer records on all four airbag recalls
- Watch for an airbag warning light or noise from the steering column
- Probe engine and electrical history — the largest reported complaint areas
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
