What NHTSA data shows for Toyota

Across the 21 Toyota models with enough data to count (model years 1995–2022), NHTSA has 124,916 owner complaints on file and 654 recall campaigns. The most-reported components across the make are other (11,806), brakes (10,177), body and structure (9,675). The Toyota Camry has the most complaints of any Toyota, with 21,206. Data as of 2026-10-12.

Complaint counts rise with how many of a model were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a big number mostly means a common car. The useful part is what fails: the model pages name the parts, and the guides explain how each one changes the price.
