5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2018 Toyota Corolla has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a fuel pump that can fail while driving, stalling the engine without warning and raising the risk of a crash.
The airbag control unit in certain vehicles can malfunction during a crash, preventing the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners from deploying when needed. With pretensioners out of action, the belt may not lock the occupant in place, and without airbag deployment, the driver or passenger absorbs more impact directly. There is also a compliance recall affecting vehicles equipped with factory-installed floor mats: the load carrying capacity label may display incorrect figures, which could lead an owner to unknowingly overload the vehicle and affect handling or tire integrity.
