Buying a used 2024 Toyota Prius? Check these 4 recalls first
Same two high-severity rear-door recalls as the 2023 car, covering doors that can open while driving, plus a medium rearview camera freeze recall and a low-severity Gulf States Toyota weight-label recall. The complaint picture differs from 2023: of 24 unverified reports filed with NHTSA, four involve crashes with no injuries, and the top areas are unknown or other, suspension, wheels and air bags rather than latches. Suspension and wheel reports are worth a closer look on a test drive.
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 on the VIN that both rear-door recalls and the camera recall are closed out
- Drive over rough pavement listening for suspension noise and checking for pull or vibration
- Ask whether the air bag warning light has ever come on or been reset
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
