Toyota Highlander Recall

If you have owned a vehicle in the last 10 years, then you have most likely received a recall through the mail at some point. The Toyota Highlander is no different when it comes to a recall. We have put together a list of the majority of the Toyota Highlander Recalls up to this date for you. Your recalls can affect the way a vehicle performs or handles. A recall could also be a safety concern. Either way you want to always address any open recalls. Here is a list of all the recalls we could find on a Highlander to date.

Toyota Highlander Powertrain Recalls

Some of the most searched for recalls are in regard to the Toyota Powertrain. Below we have tried to break out all the different types of Toyota Highlander Powertrain Recalls. This should make it easier to see if your Toyota Powertrain has any. If you are having problems with your Toyota Powertrain and do not see a relevant recall, you can check to see if your covered under the Toyota Powertrain Warranty.

There are currently no Toyota Highlander Powertrain Recalls. If you are having issues with the powertrain and would like to get some feedback from someone that has had similar issues. I highly recommend the following Toyota Highlander Forum. Toyota Highlander Forum – This forum is a great tool and is also a strong pillar in the Highlander community.
