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.

FRONT SEAT BELTS DON'T RETRACT. SHOULDER BELT WILL LOOSEN UP AND NOT STAY SNUG AGAINST YOUR BODY. IS THIS SAFE? IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THERE IS ENOUGH SLACK TO WHERE I CAN HIT THE DASH. THE LAW SAYS I HAVE TO WEAR THEM. MY STATE INSPECTION SAYS THEY HAVE TO RETRACT. AND TOYOTA SAYS THEY CAN SELL ME TWO NEW ONES FOR OVER $300. *TR

1995 TOYOTA T100 PICKUP TRUCK WITH 60,000 MILES. FUEL LEAK FROM METAL LINES FROM FUEL PUMP ABOVE FUEL TANK. FUEL LINES RUSTED OUT, CAUSING LEAK. FUEL LEAKED OUT OVERNIGHT ONTO GARAGE FLOOR. FORTUNATELY NO FIRE RESULTED WHEN THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER WAS USED BEFORE THE FUEL WAS SPOTTED. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OR DEADLY SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF A GARAGE HAS A HEATING UNIT OR HOT WATER HEATER WITH A PILOT DEVICE. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC AND VIEW THIS AS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM. LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER HAS SEEN THIS SITUATION BEFORE AND THE REPAIR IS TO REMOVE THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP PICKUP LINE ASSEMBLY REFFERED TO AS A "BRACKET KIT" PART #23206-65020. THE FLEXIBLE FUEL LINES (2) THAT SCREW TOGEHTER AND ATTACH TO THE SOLID METAL FUEL LINES THAT FAILED WERE ALSO SO CORRODED AT THEIR CONNECTIONS THAT THEY COULD NOT BE DISASSEMBLED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND OPENED A CONTACT REPORT AND WAS REFFERED TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE REFERENCE # AT TOYOTA CONSUMER AFFAIRS IS 200312020395. NO ASSISTANCE WAS GIVEN. THE REMARK MADE TO THE LOCAL DEALER FROM SOMEONE AT CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT TOYOTA WAS I MUST HAVE DAMAGED THE LINES MYSELF. I HAVE THE OLD UNIT AND CAN SEND IT FOR EXAMINATION. I WOULD ASK THAT YOU INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION AND DETERMINE IF IT WARRANTS A RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES FOR FIRE HAZARD. IT MAY EVEN EXTEND TO OTHER MODELS. AS I STATED EARLIER THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST ONE OF THESE THAT THE LOCAL DEALER HAD SEEN. THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED WHEN I CALLED TO INQUIRE. *AK
