What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 1994 Toyota Supra, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

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.
