2020 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Toyota Highlander has 5 recalls, the most serious being a stop-start system fault that can cause the engine to stall without warning while driving, raising the risk of a crash. A related recall, which only affects vehicles with the 3.5L V6 engine, traces the same stalling risk to a programming error in the engine control unit that fails to supply fuel correctly when the stop-start feature restarts the engine. On the occupant safety side, one or both front seats may have been fitted with incorrect trim covers that block the seat-mounted side airbags from deploying properly in a crash. There is also a structural concern: minor contact with the front lower bumper cover during normal driving can cause it to come loose or detach completely, creating a hazard for other vehicles on the road.
