Buying a used 2024 Toyota Corolla? Check these 2 recalls first
The critical steering shaft recall, where the shaft can crack and break apart, is the main item, alongside a low-severity Gulf States Toyota incorrect weight capacity label. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Among 63 unverified NHTSA complaints, forward collision avoidance (13), steering (11) and service brakes (10) lead, and owners reported 11 crashes and 12 injuries — a high injury count relative to the filing total. Driver-assist behavior comes up repeatedly in those reports.
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.
- Confirm the steering shaft recall repair by VIN before purchase
- Ask whether the pre-collision system has ever braked or warned unexpectedly
- Check the door jamb weight capacity label if the car came through Gulf States Toyota
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
