Buying a used 2020 Toyota Supra? Check these 8 recalls first
Eight recalls for a low-volume car, most shared with BMW models. Two are rated critical: fuel tanks that may leak, and a starter relay fire risk carrying a park-outside warning. Four more cover safety-critical hardware — a weak driver seat belt mount, headlights that can fail suddenly, a steering tie rod that can break and loss of power brake assist — alongside misaimed headlights and a vanishing backup camera image. Only 16 unverified owner complaints were filed, though 3 cite crashes.
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 written proof the fuel tank leak and starter relay recalls are closed; sniff for fuel odor at the rear.
- Confirm the tie rod, brake assist and driver seat belt mount recalls were performed, and tug-test the belt.
- Test both headlights and the backup camera through a full start-drive-reverse cycle.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
