Buying a used 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander? Check these 4 recalls first
Four recalls, all medium or low severity: curtain airbags that may deploy incorrectly, a dashboard that may not show speed or warnings, rearview cameras that may freeze, and a Gulf States weight capacity label correction. What stands out is volume — 231 unverified NHTSA complaints for a recent model, led by power train (49), engine (37) and fuel/propulsion (34), with 7 crashes, 1 fire and 3 injuries reported. Powertrain reports outnumber the recall subjects.
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.
- Check the VIN for all four recalls and ask which repairs are documented
- Test drive at varied speeds and ask about hesitation, shifting or engine issues
- Cycle reverse and the instrument cluster to confirm the camera and display work
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
