The new large #crossover with three rows for Toyota, the #toyotagrandhighlander has just been recalled for safety reasons. The Lexus TX is also affected. Here's the full scoop.
Toyota is conducting a noncompliance safety recall involving certain model year 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander and Lexus TX vehicles. Approximately, 145,000 vehicles are involved in this recall in the U.S.
The curtain shield airbag on the driver’s side may not deploy as intended during certain crashes if the driver’s window is rolled down. If this occurs, the vehicles may not meet a federal safety standard, increasing the risk of injury during certain crashes.
Toyota is currently developing a remedy for this issue.
Customers will be notified about this issue by the middle of August 2024.
Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is current as of today’s filing date and is subject to change thereafter. To see if your vehicle is involved in a safety recall visit Toyota.com/recall or nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate information.
For any additional questions, Toyota customer support is also available by calling the Toyota Brand Engagement Center (1-800-331-4331) for Toyota vehicles. Customer support is also available by calling the Lexus Brand Engagement Center (1-800-255-3987) for Lexus vehicles.

I may have not interpreted "non compliance" recall properly in the video. It may mean that Toyota's safety with the GHL/TX wasn't in line with the law. If you understand recalls or this situation better than I, PLEASE comment below.
my parents just bought a grand highlander...what the fk
@@rishinarang9966 Sucks to hear. Hopefully they're doing what they should be doing anyways...avoid accidents if possible lol
@@chibbyylol yeah its just ridiculous...not at all what you buy a Toyota for
@@rishinarang9966Weren't they aware that Toyota has had recalls in the past? Thought it was fairly common knowledge. Which brand of car were they going to buy that isn't at risk of a recall?
Toyota was so good but now…
That would be CORRECT NO sales can happen until all inventory is Solved and fixed
I don’t get why people get so upset about recalls isn’t it better that the manufacturer found a problem admits it and fixes it, rather than just letting it sit?
Because that indicates that quality is going down. Plus these companies aren’t really doing it because they want to do right by people, They only want to do it so they can look good. i’m pretty sure this crash was out for like six months and then they recalled it.
Because Toyota is losing quality control in its factory’s
This is what happens when you build your vehicles in the USA they should have kept them in Japan
You want your moneys worth and not everybody will have time to showcase their car for vehicles. Especially average people won’t be aware of vehicle recalls and if examples like faulty airbags fail to deploy when these average people get to crash, then that is bad because Toyota failed to make their car safe like they advertised.
Really well said! I just bought a Grand Highlander myself, Im not freaking out about the recall. I appreciate Toyota for making this recall to fix tge problem and not just sweeping it under the rug. As to Toyota's quality being down? I see it with many car brand quality being down! The cost of materials rising and the quality we get with what we paid for being down across the board. Its not just Toyota!
If this was Hyundai/Kia…boy would the comment section look different.
I came to say the same thing
Move production back
To Japan or to Canada. Problem solved.
It's not about moving production back to Japan. Japan along with many other brands that were once considered super reliable in the past has been cutting corners the past 10 years to keep the cost of cars down, at the sacrifice of reliability. Go youtube search "the car care nut" who will go into details on how much Toyota's reliability has changed over the past 20 years. They went from making tanks at an affordable cost to now putting in so much plastic to save cost and keep the cost down. Example, Toyota used to put aluminum valve covers on all their cars even the cheap corolla's back in the day's and now they put crappy plastic valve covers, in a place where it generates a lot of heat.
Now am I saying Toyota is the only company? Nope Honda, Subaru, Nissan and a lot of car manufacturers are doing this and this is causing more recalls and reliability issues more then ever. Toyota needs to go back to making tank like cars and over building them, even if the cost goes up, instead of going the cheap route.
@@DJG37S I am subscribed to the car care nut already. He’s a pretty smart guy with a lot of insights.
With that said, it’s pretty obvious that people who buy Japanese made Toyotas are happier and have less problems. Most mechanics and a lot of RUclips mechanics (Scotty Kilmer) will attest to that. They also move a lot faster to fix problems when they occur.
There’s a lot people employed in North America by Toyota. I guess you’re ok with all those people loosing their jobs?
@@calebsanders4353 if they can’t build a quality product, that’s on them! It’s not a charity, it’s business. They will all lose their jobs anyways if they keep having problems like what happened with the tundra.
@@DJG37S CCN said that even plastic made in Japan felt better
Recalls are better than waiting for deaths to happen…. Talking about ya know the USA 🇺🇸 makers…… never taking blame
Or Hyundai. How many cars got stolen and burned to the ground before Hyundai surrendered the war against the government for issuing a recall? Nobody was killed in any of these Toyota issues yet. People gotta chill.
Yea Ford won’t do a recall until they get sued big.
@@mrgurulittle7000 people in this comment section is a like over dramatic and crazy ex wife who is acting nuts. People these days post so much misinformation it's no longer funny.
@@col250Misinformation for sure. People always recite the typical anti-Toyota lines for example: “Toyota is 200 billion in debt”, “Toyota quality is down with V6 turbo issues”, “blah blah blah”. All are paid ex wives by Hyundai.😂😂
Exactly. It is a voluntary recall. Toyota didn't have to do it, but did. They knew they would take a hit for this, but they care more about their customers than protecting their reputation.
Hey there Kirk I work for Vuteq IN. We supply and manufacture parts to both East and West plant at TMMI (including the manufactured headliners in question). We are an on and off site supplier with some of our lines being located inside Toyota and just right down the road. As of now our west plant employees are still able to work by coming in and cleaning and also moving the production lines around inside the plant.if you have any questions feel free to reach out.
Until we can fix this please drive in reverse only - Toyota
Please drive in the front passenger seat only.
@@KirkKreifelsmail carriers rejoice
Hey Kirk just wanted to say I appreciate your input and channel. I like you the most out of any other "auto journalist" because even though you have to walk on eggshells you don't play dumb or copy what every other "auto journalist" says. Much respect.
Thanks!
Pretty sure there weren’t side curtain airbags in my 2004 Sienna, and very sure there weren’t side airbags on my 91 Previa. I was in an offset crash at highway speeds and walked away.
lol
Saw your video last night, I hope they find a good solution.
I’ve always loved the new car recommendations, “Wait five or seven years before buying to allow the bugs to be worked out.”
Basically near the end of the current cycle. It's why I got the 24 Camry and 24 RAV4.
We just put all TX models at Scanlon Lexus near you on a STOP SALE status until we can fix this issue first.
That’s sucks because I bet they were selling like hot cakes. The grand Highlander and TX are very sharp looking vehicles.
This is one of the reasons why I'm not a fan of "American Japanese" cars, I like the idea of my Japanese car being engineered, designed and built in Japan by the Japanese, Japanese built cars are built to a higher standard.
Who do you think engineers the vehicles? Who do sets the quality standard checks?
My dad still drives his 93 Corolla. Mom 05 Sienna. Both 1 owner. I’m starting to think their vehicles will outlive them.
The gaslighting on Toyota is redic! Multiple car companies have had tons of recalls. Look at Kia, ford, Honda... come on ppl will still buy these cars
Agreed
Let’s see how Toyota overcomes this giant shit hole (Including the V6 engine problem & airbag curtains recalls). Just got my brand new TX350 three weeks ago. My balls hurt to hear the recall. I have 2 Lexus right now; and have been in Toyota family for decades. However, a puny recall is not going to destroy a fan boy’s blind faith with almighty Toyota! Who is with me???😂😂😂 Nobody???🤔️🤔️🤔️🤔️
Why don’t they make more Sienna’s since there’s a 2 year wait list?
Shift production to the Sienna.
Is this the place where all the Toyota haters meet at???
looks like it’s just keeps on coming like the Boeing
at this point, every model introduced after 2022 will most likely have a problem. Way too many new cars with new engines and technology that Toyota are not good at.
lol boeing will just ship more planes missing half the bolts and rivets and then at any losses, atleast toyota's recalling and actually repairing these
When are these brands going to make a car that's {1) reliable & (2) safe & not brake & (3) inmune to not having issues "PERFECT"?@@floggyWM1
Even a Chinese vehicle is far more durable and reliable than a Toyota now
I am so glad that I got the 24 Honda Pilot. I cross shopped these vehicles and the engine was so much smoother in the Pilot. I am a life-long Toyota/Lexus buyer.
Please retrain them for Sienna and regular Highlander. Too few siennas, they could easily sell all Siennas even if doubling production by running like 2 shifts.
They already run 2 shifts for the Sienna. Making more of them isn't as easy as you think; suppliers would have to increase output, the weld shop would have to change, and that's just scratching the surface.
Go Mazda 😂
Acura mdx is looking better and better every day
What does not kill us will only make us stronger. Toyotas not perfect and they’ve been through issues before hell I remember when I got with Toyota when I was in sales back to thousand those 2000 to 2002 engines sludging up all over the place and engine replacements like mad they thought it was the end of Toyota. They will get all this sorted out
Kirk is always on updates
I feel like I’m here for the gossip, I don’t even own a Toyota. 😂
Where is your seatbelt that your head is hitting the A pillar.
Toyota also has too many models!! How many different SUV’s do they have in the current lineup!! Possibly fewer models might help with quality control.
Seems like all these recalls are from vehicles that are assembled in North American plants. Toyotas that are imported from Japan seem avoid the recalls.
Is it safe to say that JDM vehicles don't suffer the same recall rate as ones produced in the States?
As of June 19, 2024, there have been several notable automotive recalls announced by major manufacturers. Here are some of the most recent ones:
Stellantis Recall: Stellantis has recalled over 1 million vehicles due to rearview camera software issues. The recall affects vehicles in the United States and Canada, including the 2021-2023 Chrysler Pacifica, with 235,423 units affected. The issue may cause the rearview camera image not to display, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall is expected to be fixed through a radio software update in Q3 2024.
Ford Recall: Ford has recalled the most vehicles this year, with almost 500 recalls filed with U.S. regulators. The recall affects various models, including the 2020-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks and some GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 pickups.
Kia Recall: Kia has recalled 462,869 Telluride SUVs due to a stuck power seat slide knob that can cause the front seat’s motor to overheat, potentially causing a fire. The recall affects the 2020-2024 Telluride and has been the subject of several recalls in 2024.
Tesla Recall: Tesla’s January 30 recall of almost 2.2 million vehicles is the largest of 2024. The recall affects essentially every Tesla on the road since 2012, including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and the Cybertruck. The issue is minor, but it’s worth noting that the recall is one of the largest in automotive history.
You are correct, stop sale is put on any Vin that has such a recall.
im looking at the crown now
Crown has the same drivetrain on some trims
They are turning everything to junk. They are at the behest of government. They want to take away your car. So they are giving money to toyota and Ford to make unreliable vehicles that will bankrupt the people who want to drive. Therefore, taking another step to take away your mobility . Wake up people.
Kirk…Thank you for keeping us informed. Much appreciated.
Longtime Toyota owner since 2008. I even have a 78 FJ40. Hate to say it but Toyota's quality has gone out the window. The Tundra was goinf to be my next truck but probably won't be now with all these engines grenading. Might have to go for a domestic 😢
That's why I went with the frontier. Made in America, price, reliability and comfortability
@@All-Miles-Matter looking for a full size though. :(
@@TheJoncic I get it! I needed a full size for, basically, my whole life! I had the ram 3500 dually for 250k miles. The time came to downsize and so I picked up the frontier. Man....what a bold move that was! Thank god it ended well.... I couldn't be happier with this midsize truck. It works absolutely wonderful for our needs. Jet skis and sea doo switch pontoon. I was nervous at first but these midsize trucks are highly capable in today's world so I went for it!
People in 2018 be like: “Toyota is too outdated and uncompetitive!”
People in 2024 be like: “Toyota is too problematic!”
Well of course you’d get problems with new technology, duh! And ironically these complainers are the same haters that asked for the new technology. Stupid don’t know stupid. At least Toyota is fixing the issues early unlike the other automakers like the Hyundai or the Detroit Three.
You are absolutely correct. Fact is I don't take these recalls seriously at all. Tundra as always been nameplate that had issues but eventually gets solved and even here it's just a bloody air bag. Yet people here talks absolute bullshit and even post misinformation
@@col250Yep, that’s the right spirit. These people fuss over practically nothing.
@@mrgurulittle7000 recalls can happen and always will happen about something. Overall end of the day issues will be solved. Case in point. Vehicles like the sequoia hybrid are not effected by the recalls. Will people ever say this.
@@col250Yep, I’ve yet to hear a defense on the hybrid Sequoia.
@@mrgurulittle7000 tundra hybrid sequoia hybrid and even the GX is not effected at the moment. Only recall GX have is a freaking meaningless sun roof bs. So many people in this comment section have set personal opinions which are wrong. but too stubborn to accept they are wrong. This whole issue is overblown for no reasons.
Dam….Kirk I bought this car about two weeks ago loving it so for I hope they fix the problem.
I wouldn't be worried... extremely unlikely scenario.
Bought ours last sun. It's a great car. Not really worried about this one. Seems like social media and news trying to fearmonger. There are much worse recalls out there. This one seems a bit political.
@@danweaver2877 you are right my friend. Fact is These days hardcore enthusiast online love to post crazy comments and then even attack perfectly fine vehicles as well.
@@danweaver2877 you’re right …congratulations on your new ride , I got the gas model limited x series full blackout wish I did get an limited hybrid but I can live with it regular gas ⛽️ less than 50 fill her up it’s an amazing vehicle I get alot of compliments on this truck.
Soon will be a great time to grab as many toyota stock shares you can afford and hold for a while. Anyone reading this comment near the year 2030 check prices and see if I was right lmfao 😂
Dash vent head buster 🤯
Yeah that crash video literally makes it look like the head is funneled right into the a-pillar dash area.
Toyota has brought great shame upon their family. 😂
The problems with Toyota and Lexus are:
- Too many similar models with the same function
- Priced too high to be consider "affordable"
- Crown line-up priced almost the same as Lexus
- Certain dealers "market adjusted" pricing still hurt clients.
- Rushing products that have lots of issues and build quality going down.
forget the airbag. I'm more concerned that the seatbelt didnt lock up
I must have missed that part. That is way more serious than airbag issue.
Hopefully they can start making more Toyota Siennas from the Indiana factory? Been trying to get one for a while...
Unfortunately it isn't that simple...I wish
Vehicle production is based on previous months sales. Unfortunately sienna sales have been dropping pretty steadily while Highlander's are increasing. In east assembly we currently build on average 2-3 highlanders for every sienna due to this.
Are you Canadian? Maybe Canadians that have been waiting 2+ years (not a typo) will finally get their Sienna? May take a bit to adjust parts supply?
I work there we used to build the sienna in west and east but once we got the new models west plant build those and now east plant only makes the sienna and regular Highlander we build more regular Highlander than we do sienna
Good luck with that if you want the hybrid. GLTU! Get on a list and pay a refundable down payment. Of course, this locks you in and in a bad negotiation position. Unfortunately, they've got you by the balls, if you pay a refundable down payment.
When Kia recalls Toyota people always laugh at that. Who’s laughing now?
Oh, KIA had some recalls too recently. Nobody is perfect 🤩.
Toyota is now Kia.
I’m still laughing at all the children working in Kia factories and all the people who died burning in Kia cars.
The severity of recalls counts too, you know
Kia is still trash
That’s why I typically the first 2 years of any new model. Let them get the kinks out.
Same here. We always buy the third or fourth model year after a major redesign. Plus there are better deals before midcycle facelifts.
Again I repeat, never buy 1st gen vehicle.
It looks like I got my Grand just in time (April 10). Took 13 months. June 3 my Sienna XSE AWD came in. Waited 25 months.
I'm not worried.
I'm more worried about that last slice of pizza and my lack of excercise.
This voluntary recall is to avoid class action lawsuit. Smart move.
Thanks Kirk for the video. You mentioned 2.4 engine - does it impact a regular highlander? I've ordered highlander XLE, and if it's halted might take a while to get it delivered...
If it is the regular highlander not a grand they are produced in the east plant at tmmi. Production was not halted in the east plant.
These turbo 4’s and 6’s are exactly what everyone worried about and Toyota stomped all day long saying it’s a Toyota! It’s going to be better than the past thanks to Toyota superior engineers and million mile testing! Toyota has become the Ralph Lauren of the car industry. Once seen and appreciate as worth the price and confidence. Today they just a sell out brand that can be found in any Costco and won’t last and the quality and reliability has been sold out! RIP Toyota!
Hello! Kirk, my question is why are all of these new vehicles having so many issues? They don’t seem to reliable anymore? It seems that since, the switch to using turbo there has been more vehicles with problems. What’s your thoughts about what you are seeing? Vehicle’s cost customers a lot of money now day to not be good in working order.
I don't trust Toyota anymore. The 2022-2024 Toyota Tundra has been plagued with problems for 4 years and did nothing about it. I looking into other auto manufacturers
I heard the New Toyota Highlander turbo engine is hesitating, jerking and bucking. Toyota 🙈
How many jobs will be affected in Kentucky plant? Are you fucking kidding me? What about all those Toyota customers with blown engines/transmissions etc. What if they can’t get to work? What about their truck/suv payments during the recall period unt remedy? Who makes them whole. Plus the aggrivation
This is NOT that big of an issue!! How many crashes happen Offset Head-On like in that test!! There are likely only a handful on any given day and the likelihood of one involving one of these ~145K units is extremely unlikely. The driver May have an issue... We had cars for 100 years without ANY airbags... My Father in Law has the GH Hybrid Max and I won't even bother telling him about this issue as it is such an unlikely risk. When they have the recall fix, I'll be sure to let him know.
Is Toyota growing too fast and are shareholder demands driving the Bean Counters to push shortcuts in order to generate easy, short term gains?
You know, like GM did in the 80s. And look how well they're doing now at GM.
They should just look at the previous highlander and recreate it for grand highlander and they should now call it 2025 Grand Highlander 😂
Can dealers officially sell existing 2024 GH which are having a manufacturer recall? And How is the 2024 Toyota Sienna over GH?
I don't really care if they have these type of recalls. They are opening stating and taking care of the customers in this case.
They are also trying to fix a problem that passed the crash test rating.
For the most part, all these regulations and our needs makes it really hard to get good ROI on investments for car manufacturers as they can't milk engines and stuff as much as they used to.
My husband was Tboned on the passenger side in our GH XLE and the airbags didn't deploy either.
Hey @KirkKreifels I really think this last few weeks in Toyota Land has demonstrated just *how hard* it is, to make north of 10 Million Vehicles a year. They were right to say outright that they can't grow the volume for at least this year.
toyota reliability is tanking. you know people are getting fired for this incompetence.
Maybe Toyota reliability rankings will go down, but so far you are incorrect. 2024 dependability rankings show Lexus and Toyota #1 and #2, as much as some wish that weren't the case. The future? Who knows.
@@ytj22 Toyota reliability is going to be more than fine.
they have extended this into october we supply assemblies to this vehicle its going to be a long time before production is in full swing
Any issues with the GX550 thus far?
For what, airbag?
Yeah the turbo issue that tundra is facing
@@everydayfun9531but it's more than a turbo issue it is a engine bearing issue
Yeah, it has the engine of death.
@@everydayfun9531 no turbo issue. You bots should really get together first before you start a chat 👍
At least it's much better than paper A pillar Expedition and Tahoe....
Toyota has had many recalls up untill this day and they’ve dealt with it much better than any other manufacturer. They make around 11 million vehicles of course things will happen. If you do some research you’ll be amazed what other Asian/european/American manufacturers have had of issues and recalls. Some of them
much more serious than these recalls, more serious than the sudden acceleration issue. The safety testing issues in Japan is more a problem of technicality than serious because in most cases the cars were tested more stringent than the standards. Everybody take a chill pill and don’t blow this out of proportions
Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro (2nd generation) simply the best
2024 Tacoma transmission failure also!! Toyota is going to sh!t.
I’m beginning to think every single auto manufacturer has a growing number of recalls or technical service bulletins. If it’s not an assembly issue, it’s a supplier component one. The more reputable companies will issue voluntary recalls and fix the issue. The ones more focused on cost cutting won’t issue anything until they get sued and even then drag their feet on issuing repairs or putting on a band-aid fix while the vehicles are still under warranty.
Bmw, Mercedes, Audi all do cost cutting and it shows, every new Premium new model is far, far less build.
@@avdp9095 So true. My Acura TLX has been in the shop 4 days for a creaking door issue that ended up being a loose / bad window regulator. The car was built Feb 2023.
I’m sad bc I got a good deal but if has to go then BYE ! Take it back.
Captain Kirk, good job!
Poor quality overall, cheaper builds. This was my first Toyota I purchased….snd it will be my last.
P.S. the engine 4 cylinder turbo will have similar severe failures. 2034 Grand Hylander. R.I.P.
Sad this was also my first Toyota Grand Highlander. Big mistake. Never again. I am negotiating trading it in for 4 Runner 2924 made in Japan
Toyota has worse build quality than the Plymouth Voyager
Toyota has a great relationship with parts suppliers, so I don’t think there will be an issue as you reminded us from the situation in Japan. From what I read, the window being open may alter the air bag deployment, so driving with the drivers window closed should be considered safe.
Unless the driver window gets compromised?
Yeah yeah yeah, everyone that bought a new 2024 Toyota grandhighlander knows about this already we don’t need you to tells us or inform us of it. It’s in our Toyota App…
Toyota is declining. It's over
145000 units?!?! Insane. At this point I don't see how any customer is happy with these new Toyotas. They have lost their fanbase exactly how Jeep did.
Shouldn't we see sales decrease in a growing market before we can say they've lost anything? Maybe that will happen, but it definitely hasn't so far this year.
@@ytj22There is always a “lag effect” when these things happen. When more and more people realize what’s going on, you will see that sales will, indeed, go down.
The Tundra issue has been out for several months now, and most of them are rotting away on dealer lots (both Tundra and Tacoma)!
Just find a naturally aspirated engine Toyota or Lexus 2022 or 2023 vehicle (Used) or Lexus (new or used) and stay away from the 2024 dual turbo V6 engines or any 2024 turbocharged engine. It's not necessarily bad, it just wears the engine out sooner than a naturally aspirated engine.
@@747-pilot But I've been hearing these comments for years about Toyota. Before turbo it was because they were getting too big too fast, or "too much new technology". That is a considerable "lag effect"
@@randy74989 true. Also they haven't been proven yet. Ford also had major issues with the earlier ecoboosts but they've been making them for 15 years now so they're pretty good. Toyota hasn't had the experience. They don't need to improve the turbo engines, they gotta stick to the naturally aspirated engines. It's not a flex to own a turbo pickup.
Will they shift some production from Grand Highlander to Sienna? Let's improve the supply 😂
both sides are faulty this from toyota!!!
I wouldn't worry about the stoppage Kirk. Toyota Just in time manufactiuring has all the contingencies figured out and have been thru this many, many times.
This is the biguiner of the and of Toyota
Old news!!please update New news!!
I'm not buying the first 2 or 3 years of any new Toyota model, engine, or transmission. I'm glad it's recalled and I hope Toyota will properly fix these issues.
I tried to buy one yesterday and they would not sell me even tho they let me order one .
Toyota recommends: do not drive the vehicle from the front seat, rather, drive it from rear seat or third row only.
Toyota turning into Ford lol
Better than Hyundai/Kia engine, transmission recalls😂
NHTSA says the New Highlander turbo hesitates, jerks, and bucks 😂😂😂😊
How many jobs will be affected in Kentucky plant? Are you fucking kidding me? What about all those Toyota customers with blown engines/transmissions etc. What if they can’t get to work? What about their truck/suv payments during the recall period unt remedy? Who makes them whole. Plus the aggravation
When you realize we all wanted a Skyline and not caring about safety same thing here 😅😂
What?? "You" broke the news??? Ahem, this has been discussed on the internet and in GH forums for the past week....but yeah, "You broke the news" LOL
As a LIFELONG TOYOTA owner....I bought a USED Honda Odyssey. TOYOTA HAS A GAZILLION RECALLS! THE TRUST IS BROKEN! VERY SAD!
Honda looking to me no help with my 2023 limited tundra they refused to buy it back I can’t sell it I’m all 💩 out F U toyota I was with you 1994 until now they see all my purchases and still 💩 me I’m selling 5 toyota vehicles 🚗 really ashamed toyota thank you for zero help
I bought a Grand Highlander Platinum. I'm guessing that the airbags are the same in all models? I was rear-ended in my new Highlander Platinum and traded UP to the Grand Highlander Platinum. Eeesshh!
Dont they anyways say, dont ever buy the first year models
Greedy is another factor in this game.
Toyota moved the redesigned 2024 Tacoma production to Mexico to get cheaper labor. Will see how many recall on that truck!!
"its a good thing, they want their customers taken care of" ..... lol yeah... right. Voluntary recall just means they decided to, not because they wouldn't be forced to. If NHTSA says they need to do a recall, they typically do a recall "voluntarily" as its easiest. If they refuse, then they'll go through the procedures to force a recall. Most recalls are always voluntary, but that doesn't really mean the company wants to do it.
Anyone who has worked in automotive should know that no mom and pop store can be supplying parts for a huge production high value veh such as the highlander and for a company like toyota. So lets cut the emotional crap of whats going to happen to them. However they are going to be established companies but yet cut their end of jobs because of loss of revenue. If anything sympathize that way for the employees not the company.
Was panning on flying out of state and purchasing a CPO GH with low miles Wednesday of this week and not rolling the drivers side window down until the recall is fixed.. but what is the rumor about the engine recall? Would definitely stop the transaction if that is a credible rumor and go with a different brand
Toyota has too many car models. I feel like they're putting profits over quality. Japanese cars are not as reliable as they are in the past. They're aren't too many I can recommend nowadays
I ordered a grand Highlander hybrid in May . It has been postponed 4 times with last week notice of mid august. Now I guess never 😡 . Out today to test drive competitors. 😭
Watching the crash footage, I'd be more concerned about your head sliding off the main airbag. God that was sloppy. Showing up to a crash to find a driver sharing space in the front dash with their airbag at the passenger's footwell. Wow...
