Buying a used 2019 Toyota Prius? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2019 Toyota Prius has 3 recalls in this group. Possible brake-assist failure stands out, followed by an instrument display that may go blank; the unreadable load-capacity label is a labeling concern. NHTSA lists 30 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, with 7 crashes and 2 injuries reported. Service brakes account for 11 listed complaints, unknown or other for 8, engine for 6, and electrical systems for 4. Brake-related repair history deserves particular attention.
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 brake-assist recall completion and review brake repair records.
- Check instrument display operation and recall remedy documentation.
- Inspect load-capacity label readability and ask about engine faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
