Buying a used 2021 Toyota Sequoia? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls, both steering-related: a part that can leak fluid, and a separate campaign for possible loss of power steering assist. Those are the systems to document. The NHTSA complaint file is small — four unverified owner reports spread thinly across power train, fuel, structure and suspension, one describing a crash and one an injury. With so few reports no pattern is visible, so the recalls are the more solid signal on this year.
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.
- Get VIN-level confirmation that both steering recalls were completed.
- Look under the front end for power steering fluid residue or recent seal work.
- On the test drive, note steering effort, wander, or any warning lights.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
