Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA reports three safety concerns involving the 2018 Toyota Sequoia. Electrical interference may deactivate electronic stability control, increasing crash risk in certain conditions. An air bag ECU fault may prevent the air bags from deploying as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
