4 recalls across 3 model years
The Scion tC has 4 recalls spanning the 2010-2016 production run, with the most serious being a 2015 rear suspension issue on Release Series 9 trim vehicles where accessory coil springs were installed with improperly tightened suspension components, allowing the rear suspension arms to detach while driving.
The 2010 model year has a separate brake concern specific to vehicles fitted with the optional TRD Brake Kit, where the stainless steel braided front brake hoses can fatigue and leak fluid, reducing braking effectiveness and extending stopping distances. The two remaining recalls affect 2015-2016 models and involve an incorrect Load Carrying Capacity Modification Label that may not account for the weight of installed accessories, which can lead to unintentional overloading of the vehicle.
