How do I check if my 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser has an open recall?
You can check your VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup or bring your vehicle to our service department for a free VIN check.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The safety risks tied to the 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser are concrete and, in several cases, can lead to loss of vehicle control or injury if left unaddressed. NHTSA records show defects affecting the fuel pump (which can stall the engine while driving), an intermediate steering shaft weld (which can cause loss of steering), front suspension bolts on certain packages, improperly installed accessories that can detach, incorrect tire placard information, overly bright auxiliary lamps that exceed allowed output, and a seat belt retractor mounting concern. Each of these issues represents a potential on-road hazard: engine stall increases crash risk, steering or suspension failures can cause loss of control, detached accessories create hazards for other road users, and seat belt retractor faults can reduce occupant protection. Because these are manufacturer recalls, the corrective actions are free when performed at a certified Toyota dealer.
