Buying a used 2023 Toyota Prius? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 19 owner complaints on file

The record is dominated by two high-severity recalls covering rear doors that can open while driving; neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Latches/locks also appear in the owner complaint mix (3 of 19 unverified reports filed with NHTSA), so the door issue shows up on both sides of the record. A medium recall covers rearview cameras that may freeze. The low-severity Gulf States Toyota weight-capacity label recall is paperwork. Electrical system, structure and wheels round out complaints; one crash and one injury reported.

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. Run the VIN and confirm both rear-door recalls were actually performed
3. Open, close and tug each rear door; ask about any past latch work
4. Start the car in reverse several times to see if the backup camera image freezes
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.
