Summary
The Toyota Supra has 11 recalls spanning 1992 to 2023, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2023 models where incorrect wheel lock bolts can damage the axle hub threads, allowing a wheel bolt to loosen and fall out and the wheel to separate from the vehicle while driving.
The 2022 model year has a separate fire risk: a small number of starters were not manufactured correctly, can overheat, and create a fire hazard. On 2021 models equipped with the 2.0-liter engine, water can enter the starter relay, cause corrosion and a short circuit, and start a fire even when the vehicle is parked and off. The 2020-2021 model years share a fuel tank welding defect where the weld between tank halves can fail and allow fuel to leak, raising the fire risk in the presence of an ignition source. The 2020 model year carries the heaviest concentration of issues. A software defect can damage the vacuum pump during engine startup, reducing brake assist and requiring noticeably more pedal force to stop. There is also a driver's seat belt guide loop mount that can be weakened by an improper weld and fail to restrain the driver properly in a crash. On some 2020 vehicles, headlight adjustment plugs were not correctly installed, which can leave the headlights misaimed and create glare for oncoming traffic. The rearview camera on certain 2020 models does not reset to default settings when turned on, which can make the backup image difficult to see if the brightness had been set very low previously.
Going back to the beginning of the modern production run, the 1992 model has a compliance recall related to airbag maintenance instructions on the sun visor not being printed in both English and French as required by Canadian regulations.
