What the fix does

The three recalls described here all relate to the same underlying fire risk in the starter system, so I'll treat them as a single consolidated issue.
The 2022 Toyota Supra has 3 recalls, all related to fire risks traced to the engine starter system, where a defective or corroded starter or starter relay can overheat and potentially ignite.
The starter itself may not have been assembled correctly on certain vehicles, which can cause it to run hot enough to start a fire. A separate but related issue involves the starter relay, a small electrical switch in the same system, which can corrode and short circuit, also raising the risk of fire. Both problems share the same real-world consequence: a fire that can develop in the engine compartment with little warning.
