The 2024 Highlander has 7 recalls in this group, involving underrated Blackout Package or accessory tires, instrument-panel warnings, second-row seat-back locking, rearview-camera freezing, third-row seat-belt anchors, and an incorrect accessory weight label.

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 tire ratings and the accessory weight-label correction.
- Confirm second-row seat-back and third-row belt-anchor recall repairs.
- Verify panel and camera repairs; ask about brake, fuel, or electrical issues.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
