This hub covers 17 Toyota model-years across 5 models: Camry, Corolla, Highlander, RAV4, Tacoma. Across those model-years, NHTSA's databases record 4,939 owner complaints and 79 recall campaigns. The most-recalled is the 2023 Toyota Highlander with 9 campaigns, while the 2019 Toyota RAV4 has the most owner complaints at 883. 9 of the 17 model-years earned NHTSA's top overall rating of five stars. Complaint totals are raw counts from the database and are not adjusted for sales volume, so they are best used to compare components and patterns within a model rather than as a league table between brands. Each model-year page reproduces the full underlying records: every recall campaign with its official summary and remedy, complaint counts by component, the complete crash-test scorecard, and EPA fuel-economy figures for every configuration.

Across the tracked Toyota range, 383 complaints report a crash and 95 report a fire, with 335 injuries recorded in owner filings. The most fuel-efficient tracked Toyota is the 2019 Toyota Corolla, whose EPA configurations return a median of 32.5 combined MPG, while the most-complained-about is the 2019 Toyota RAV4 with 883 filings. Tracked years run from 2013 to 2023. Component shares are computed against the make's tracked complaint total; because an owner can name several components in one filing, shares can sum to slightly more than 100%. Use the component table to see whether a make's problems concentrate in one system — a pattern worth checking on the individual model-year page — or spread evenly across the vehicle, which usually reflects age and mileage rather than a single defect.
Models covered: the Camry (1 model-years, most-reported component: Power Train); the Corolla (3 model-years, most-reported component: Air Bags); the Highlander (5 model-years, most-reported component: Power Train); the RAV4 (3 model-years, most-reported component: Electrical System); the Tacoma (5 model-years, most-reported component: Power Train). The highest-rated tracked Toyota is the 2019 Toyota Camry at 5 stars overall for its tested variant. Where a model's most-reported component repeats across several of its model-years, the pattern is visible in the model-year pages' component tables — the clearest sign in this dataset of a systemic issue rather than scattered owner experience.
