This page covers 2 recalls and 21 owner complaints for the 2022 Toyota GR86.
Engine complaints dominate the 2022 GR86 owner reports, with the FA24 engine drawing the bulk of the filings. Owners repeatedly describe catastrophic engine failure, often at relatively low mileage, with several noting the engine let go during hard acceleration without any prior warning from the oil pressure or low oil level indicators. A recurring detail is oil starvation, owners report the engine consuming oil faster than expected, and in multiple cases the oil light either came on just before failure or never illuminated at all. Several owners mention dealerships and the manufacturer declining warranty coverage. Exterior lighting draws the next-highest complaint volume, with owners describing dome light failures they attribute to heat exposure from sun, with at least one dealer confirming the circuit rather than the bulb as the cause. Tire complaints are isolated and don't form a pattern worth highlighting.

By System
The 2022 Toyota GR86 has two recalls, both addressing the same issue: the rear turn signals can shut off unexpectedly when bright light, such as direct sunlight, hits them.
When the turn signals stop working, other drivers may not know the vehicle is turning or changing lanes, raising the risk of a collision. The hazard lights can be affected as well, reducing the vehicle's visibility to others on the road.
