Buying a used 2023 Toyota Venza Hybrid? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls, none critical: a dashboard that may not display speed or warnings, a rearview camera that can freeze (shared with Lexus and the Subaru Solterra), and a wrong weight capacity label on Gulf States Toyota vehicles. Complaint volume is low at 21 unverified reports, but the severity mix is heavy — 10 crashes and 9 injuries — with forward collision avoidance the most cited area at 6, followed by electrical and vehicle speed control.
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.
- Ask whether the car has had forward collision or braking system complaints, and check for accident history.
- Confirm the dashboard displays speed and warning lights correctly from a cold start.
- Test the rearview camera for freezing, and check whether the Gulf States label recall applies to this VIN.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
