3 NHTSA recalls · 306 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Toyota Corolla has 3 recalls in this group, covering rear seat belts that may not lock, fuel pumps that may cause engine stalling and an airbag sensor that may prevent deployment. Each requires its own completion check. NHTSA lists 306 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 22 crashes, 1 fire and 23 injuries. Engine is the leading listed area at 108, followed by unknown or other at 79, power train at 37 and electrical system at 31.

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 rear-seat-belt and airbag-sensor recall completion.
3. Request fuel-pump remedy records and ask about engine stalling.
4. Review engine, power-train and electrical 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.
