2018 Toyota Highlander Recalls & Complaints

The 2018 Toyota Highlander has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine while driving, raising the risk of a crash.

The brake system also has a concern: the vacuum pump assembly that powers brake assist may have been machined incorrectly, which can cause a sudden loss of the power assist that makes the brake pedal feel firm and responsive. Without that assist, stopping the vehicle requires significantly more pedal effort, especially at low speeds. There is also a label recall involving the load carrying capacity sticker inside the vehicle, which may display incorrect weight limits and lead an owner to overload the vehicle beyond its safe capacity.
