Check your VIN, find out in a minute whether anything is open, and book the repair. Safety recall work is performed at no charge.
Almost everybody who reaches this page arrives with the same three questions, so here are the answers before anything else.
A vehicle identification number lookup is the only reliable answer. Yours is on the windshield plate on the driver's side, on the door jamb, and on your registration. Read it to us and we will check it on the phone.
Safety recall work is performed at no charge to the owner at an authorized Toyota dealer. That is what federal law requires of the manufacturer, not an offer. Where you bought the vehicle makes no difference.
Some recalls are a software update done while you wait. Others replace a component and depend on parts availability. We will tell you which yours is when you call rather than after you arrive.

A safety recall is issued when Toyota or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determines that a vehicle has a defect presenting an unreasonable risk to safety. Federal law then requires the manufacturer to remedy it at no cost to the owner, and authorized dealers carry out the work. It is a legal obligation on Toyota rather than a courtesy.
A service campaign is different in kind. It covers something Toyota has decided is not performing as intended, without an associated safety risk. It is also handled at no cost under the campaign's own terms, and it is also worth doing promptly, but nobody needs to change their plans over one. Both arrive as a letter mailed to the address on the vehicle's registration, and both show up in a VIN lookup.
The distinction matters because the urgency differs. Most recall notices say to keep driving normally and have the remedy performed at your convenience. A small number carry a specific instruction, such as not carrying a front seat passenger until the work is done. If your notice carries an instruction like that, it is on the notice for a reason and it is worth calling rather than booking online.
The letter carries the recall number, which saves a step at the desk. If you never received one, the VIN alone is enough. Nothing else is needed and there is no paperwork to complete in advance.
If the job will take the day, ask about transport at the point of booking rather than on the morning. That is when arrangements can actually be made around the workshop's schedule.
If the technician finds something unrelated, you get told and you get an estimate. The recall work itself carries no charge, and no other work starts until you say so.
Work done here joins the service history we hold for the vehicle, which is what makes a complete record straightforward to produce later at trade-in, appraisal or certification.
Recall notices go to the address the state has on file for the vehicle. That works well for an owner who bought new, stayed put and kept their registration current. It works badly for a great many drivers in this market.
Seasonal residents get mail at an address they occupy for part of the year. People who buy privately are frequently not on file at all until they register the vehicle, and even then the manufacturer's list can lag. Anyone who has moved within Collier County in the last few years may have a letter sitting at an old address. In each of those cases the vehicle can carry an open recall for months without the owner having any idea.
Which is why the VIN lookup is the answer rather than the mailbox. It costs a minute, it is definitive, and it is worth repeating once a year even when nothing has arrived. If you would rather not do it yourself, call the service department on (239) 301-3158 during opening hours, read us the number, and we will look it up while you wait.
No letter is not the same as no recall. The VIN is the only answer that counts.
If your question is not here, the service department will answer it on the phone in less time than it takes to read this page. Call (239) 301-3158 during opening hours.
Visit the Service CenterLook it up by VIN, which takes about a minute. The recall lookup on this site checks your vehicle identification number against Toyota's current list and tells you whether anything is open. The VIN is on a plate at the base of the windshield on the driver's side, on the driver's door jamb, and on your registration and insurance documents. You can also call the service department at (239) 301-3158 and read us the VIN, and we will check it while you are on the phone.
Nothing. Safety recall work is performed at no charge to the owner at an authorized Toyota dealer, and that is what federal law requires of the manufacturer rather than a discount anyone is offering you. It does not matter whether you bought the vehicle here or whether you are the first owner. If a separate repair is found while the car is with us, that is a different job with its own estimate, and nobody does that work without asking you first.
A safety recall is issued when Toyota or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determines a vehicle has a defect that presents an unreasonable safety risk, and the manufacturer is required to remedy it at no cost. A service campaign covers something that is not a safety risk but is not performing as Toyota intended, and is also handled at no cost under the campaign terms. Both arrive as a letter to the address on the vehicle's registration, and both are worth acting on promptly.
Yes. The letter is a notification, not a permission slip, and a VIN lookup is the reliable check. Letters go to the address on file with the state, so they miss people who have moved, bought the vehicle privately, or are seasonal residents with mail going somewhere else, which describes a good number of drivers in this market. If the lookup shows something open, book it whether or not anything arrived in the mail.
It depends entirely on the specific recall. Some are a software update measured in under an hour; others replace a physical component and take most of a day. The other variable is parts. When a recall affects a large number of vehicles nationally, the part can be on allocation, and in that case the honest answer is that we book you when the part is in hand rather than leaving your vehicle waiting. Ask when you call and we will tell you which of those two situations yours is.
Ask when you book, because it depends on the length of the job and on what is available that day. Short recalls are usually done while you wait. For longer work, raise transport at the time of booking rather than on the morning you arrive, since that is when arrangements can actually be made. The rental center on site is a separate service with its own terms.
Any authorized Toyota dealer can perform recall work, anywhere in the country, and none of them can charge you for it. Coming here has one practical advantage: the work joins the service record we keep on your vehicle, which is what makes a full history straightforward to produce later when the car is traded, appraised or certified. If you are on the road when you find out, get it done wherever you are.
Read the notice itself, because recalls differ enormously in urgency. Most say to continue driving normally and have the remedy performed at your convenience. A small number carry specific instructions, such as not carrying a front passenger or not parking indoors, and those instructions are on the notice and on the lookup result. If your notice carries an instruction like that, follow it and call the service department at (239) 301-3158 rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
A VIN lookup takes a minute and settles the question either way. If something is open, we will book it around the part and tell you honestly how long it takes.
Safety recall and service campaign repairs are performed at no charge to the vehicle owner at an authorized Toyota dealer under the terms of the applicable manufacturer program; eligibility is determined by vehicle identification number. Availability of parts and appointment times varies and is not guaranteed. Any repair outside the scope of an open recall or campaign is quoted separately and is not performed without your authorization. Recall information on this site comes from Toyota and is current as of the lookup; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also publishes recall information at nhtsa.gov.
