23 recalls across 7 models
Scion has 7 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 2004 through 2016. Across those models, 23 recall campaigns are recorded, with 65% falling into the Critical or High tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls, which account for nearly half of all campaigns at 48%, cover consequences such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, and life-threatening injury hazards. High recalls add another 17%, while the remaining 35% fall into the Low tier, with no Medium or Informational campaigns recorded. That distribution means the lineup carries no recalls in the middle of the severity range, clustering instead at the extremes of Critical and Low.
The FR-S leads all models with 7 recalls, followed by the xB at 6 and the tC at 4. Those three models together account for 17 of the 23 total campaigns, reflecting how recall activity across this relatively compact lineup is concentrated in a handful of nameplates. The remaining four models divide the other 6 campaigns among them. Because the lineup spanned only about a dozen years before the brand was discontinued, the recall record represents a defined and complete window of activity rather than an ongoing one, and every campaign in the database falls within the 2004 to 2016 model year range.
