Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data
Data refreshed
Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING IN THE YEARS 93 - 96 TOYOTA SUPRAS BECOME DULL AND YELLOW AFTER SOME TIME. CONDENSATION ALSO APPEARS IN THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON MANY TOYOTA SUPRAS AND LEXUS SC'S, NOT ONLY MINE. I HAVE FORWARDED THIS LINK TO AN E-MAIL LIST FOR OTHER SUPRA OWNERS TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA CURRENTLY HAS NO CAMPAIGNS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, BUT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY OF A SHORT CIRCUIT FROM WATER INSIDE, IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF YOUR FINDINGS. REGARDS, JOO-PENG ONG. *AK

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
