Buying a used 2019 Toyota Highlander? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 480 owner complaints on file

The 2019 Highlander has 3 recalls in this group: two fuel-pump entries involving possible engine stalling and a load-capacity label that may become unreadable. Fuel-pump repair documentation is the central recall item, while label legibility is a straightforward inspection point. NHTSA lists 480 owner complaints, which are unverified reports. Power train accounts for 194, fuel/propulsion system 86, and engine 69, making documented responses to shifting concerns, fuel-system symptoms, or stalling particularly relevant.

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. Confirm completion of all applicable fuel-pump recalls by VIN.
3. Ask about stalling, shifting problems, and related repairs.
4. Check that the load-capacity label remains readable.
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.
