5 recalls across 2 model years
The Toyota Previa has 5 recalls spanning the 1991–1997 production run, with the most serious being a front differential oil leak on 1997 4WD models where sustained highway driving above 75 mph can drain the differential of oil, causing bearing failure and eventual seizure that raises the risk of a crash.
The 1991 model year carries two separate issues. The radio can develop an internal short circuit that may start a fire inside the passenger compartment. Also on 1991 models, the windshield wiper assembly can fail under heavy load and stop working entirely, leaving the driver without visibility in rain or snow.
