Buying a used 2025 Toyota Prius? Check these 2 recalls first
A shorter list than the 2023 and 2024 cars: one high-severity recall for a rear door that may open while driving, and a medium recall for rearview cameras that may freeze. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Among 16 unverified complaints filed with NHTSA, electrical system leads with six, followed by unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and power train; one crash and one injury are reported. Forward collision warning behavior is worth checking on a 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.
- Confirm the rear-door recall repair is recorded against this VIN
- Ask whether the forward collision or driver-assist system has ever warned or braked without cause
- Cycle the backup camera and infotainment several times, watching for a frozen or blank image
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
