Overview

• Toyota has announced a recall of approximately 751,000 models of the Toyota Highlander, spanning the 2020 to 2023 model years, including gas-electric hybrids.
• The problem originates from the resin front lower bumper covers, which are related to mounting tabs. A minor impact could lead to these tabs detaching and falling onto the road, creating a driving hazard.
• Dealers are directed to inspect the bumper cover tabs for any damage. If there is no damage found, they will install upgraded hardware to hold the covers in place.
• In the case where damage is detected, the dealers will replace the affected upper and/or lower bumper covers and implement the improved hardware.
• Toyota will begin notifying owners about the recall by late December. Vehicle owners can also independently verify if their Highlander is included in the recall by visiting nhtsa.gov/recalls and entering their vehicle identification or license plate numbers.
