Buying a used 2018 Toyota Sequoia? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 20 owner complaints on file

This year carries a dense recall list: a steering component that can leak fluid is the most serious, joined by potential loss of power steering assist, airbags that may not deploy, a fuel pump that can stall the engine, and stability control that may switch off. Twenty NHTSA complaints — unverified owner reports — cluster in electrical, stability control and speed control, with no crashes, fires or injuries logged. Several recalled systems overlap those complaint areas.

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 through NHTSA recall lookup and confirm both steering campaigns are closed.
3. Ask for dealer paperwork on the fuel pump and airbag recall repairs.
4. Watch for stability-control, airbag or check-engine warning lights through a full test drive.
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.
