Buying a used 2019 Toyota Corolla? Check these 5 recalls first
Five recalls, three high severity: a hatchback transmission part that can cause stalling, the fuel pump stall recall, and airbags that may not deploy. Two low-severity load capacity label recalls round it out, and none carries a stop-driving instruction. Among 202 unverified NHTSA complaints, power train (54) and engine (39) dominate, with air bags at 31; owners reported 23 crashes, 1 fire and 15 injuries. Stalling is the recurring thread in both recalls and complaints.
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.
- Verify by VIN whether the transmission and fuel pump recalls were completed, especially on a hatchback
- Ask about stalling, rough shifting or transmission repairs, and request service records
- Confirm the airbag recall repair and that the airbag light cycles normally
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
