What were the Toyota recalls for?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Here and here are some of the recalls. Best thing to do is look at what the recalls were and ask the dealership you bought the car from for proof that those issues were taken care of or checked. There should be some kind of paperwork showing that they did what they needed to do for the recalls. Edited to add: When you look at the details of the recalls, it tells you what the dealership was supposed to do to remedy the situation. Ask for proof of that. If you go here you can enter your VIN on Toyota’s site and it will tell you which recalls are specific to your vehicle.
