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, damage its bearings, and cause the unit to seize, raising the risk of a crash.
The 1991 model year has two recalls of its own. A short circuit can develop inside the radio and start a fire inside the passenger compartment. Separately, the windshield wiper assembly can fail entirely due to components that lack sufficient strength under high load, leaving the driver without wipers in rain or snow.
