Buying a used 2021 Toyota Venza Hybrid? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 188 owner complaints on file

Only two recalls, both medium: rear turn signals that may fail, and a possible loss of stability control shared with other Toyota and Lexus hybrids. The complaint record is the more notable part — 188 unverified owner reports to NHTSA, with 74 under visibility/wiper and 16 under exterior lighting, plus 15 crashes and 12 injuries logged. That visibility cluster is large relative to a short recall list that does not address it.

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. Ask the seller directly about windshield, glass or wiper problems and any glass replacement history.
3. Confirm both rear turn signals work and check exterior lighting for intermittent faults.
4. Verify the stability control recall was completed and that no VSC or hybrid system warning lights appear at startup.
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.
