Buying a used 2018 Toyota Corolla? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 133 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Toyota Corolla has 3 recalls in this group. Fuel-pump failure that can stall the engine and possible airbag nondeployment are the substantial mechanical and restraint concerns; the floor-mat label issue is administrative. NHTSA lists 133 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 25 crashes, 5 fires and 17 injuries. Air bags lead the listed areas with 35 entries, followed by fuel/propulsion system at 23, unknown or other at 18 and fuel system at 15.

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 fuel-pump recall completion and ask about stalling history.
3. Obtain airbag recall repair records and review crash disclosures.
4. Confirm the floor-mat label recall was addressed.
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.
