The BZ4X earned five stars in frontal crash, side crash, and side pole crash tests. It received four stars in rollover testing.

5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2025 Toyota bZ4X has 2 recalls, both affecting driver visibility: one that can leave the windshield and windows fogged over in cold or wet conditions, and one that can cause the backup camera to freeze or go blank when reversing.
When certain electrical faults occur in the climate system, such as a compressor failure, the defroster and defogger lose power entirely, leaving the driver unable to clear condensation or frost from the glass. The second recall affects vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor system, where a software error can cause the rearview camera feed to freeze on a still image or display nothing at all while the vehicle is in reverse, removing the driver's view of what is directly behind the car.
