Against the median year of the Toyota Sequoia. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 0
0% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 100
83% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2018 Toyota Sequoia
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Toyota Tundra and Sequoia vehicles and 2019 Toyota Avalon and Avalon Hybrid vehicles. The air bag electronic control unit (ECU) may erroneously detect a fault during the vehicle start-up self check. If this occurs, the ECU may not deploy the airbags as intended, in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," and 214, "Side Impact Protection."
Risk: If the air bags do not deploy as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Recall 202172355,683 units in Canada
Electrical
Issue: This recall is for certain block heater kits installed on certain vehicles or sold as accessories at Toyota or Lexus dealerships. On certain vehicles, the engine block heater cable may not have enough heat protection and could be damaged by high temperatures. If this happens, the cable could short circuit while plugged in, and cause the wiring to overheat or melt. Note: This recall only affects the following block heater/cord part numbers: C014003034 PK5A408J09 PU14000904 C014003151 PK5A408J13 PU14000905 C014000885 PK5A489J11 PU14000907 C014000888 PK5A489J22 PU14000909 C014000907 PK5A410H00 PU14000911 C014100904 PU14000900 PU14000913 C014100907 PU14000901 PU14003571 C014100911 PU14000902 PK5A489J14 PK5A408J05 PU14000903 Safety Risk: Engine block heater wiring that overheats or melts could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Toyota recommends that you should stop using the engine block heater immediately. Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to disable the engine block heater. For some vehicles, the corrective actions for this recall are under development. For others, a new engine block heater cannot be installed, and the owner will receive a refund of the purchase price of the engine block heater.
Recall 2020514126,597 units in Canada
Fuel System
Issue: On certain vehicles, the low-pressure fuel pump could fail. If this happens, then engine may run rough or may not start and the check engine light may turn on. This could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Note: This recall is an expansion of recalls SRC R95/SRC R96 and SRC RA2/SRC RA3 (Transport Canada Recall Numbers 2020-005 and 2020-088). Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel pump.
Recall 2020088111,835 units in Canada
Fuel System
Issue: On certain vehicles, the low-pressure fuel pump could fail. If this happens, then engine may run rough or may not start and the check engine light may turn on.

Recall 201854715,774 units in Canada
Airbag
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts and CMVSS 214 - Side Impact Protection. The airbag (SRS) control unit may incorrectly detect a fault in one or more of the front or side airbag impact sensors during vehicle start up. In the event of a crash where airbag deployment is required, this may result in the airbags not deploying as designed, increasing the risk of injury. Upon detection of a fault in the airbag system, multiple warning lights would activate, a warning buzzer would sound, and a warning message would display on the instrument panel display. Correction: Dealers will update the airbag control unit software. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2018-100. Vehicles repaired as part of the previous recall will require re-inspection and repair.
Recall 20181008,180 units in Canada
Electrical
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 126 - Electronic Stability Control Systems. Electrical noise could be introduced into the YAW rate sensor within the airbag ECU, which could result in deactivation of the Vehicle Stability Control and Pre-Collision systems and limited function of the Trailer Brake Controller system. This would be contrary to the requirements of the standard, and could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the software of the ECU. Note: This recall is superseded by recall 2018547. Please see <a href="http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/detail.aspx?lang=eng&&rn=2018547">recall 2018547</a> for more information.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I own a 2018 Toyota Sequoia experiencing fuel pump failure symptoms including extended crank and loss of power. This issue matches NHTSA Recall 20V012000, which affects similar vehicles with the same fuel pump defect. However, my VIN is not included in the recall despite identical symptoms and safety risk. I am requesting investigation into whether additional VINs, including mine, should be included in this recall due to ongoing failures.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I TOOK MY 2018 TOYOTA SEQUOIA (VIN: [XXX]) ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 FOR THE SIX-MONTH TOYOTACARE SERVICE TO AMERICAN TOYOTA LOCATED AT 5995 ALAMEDA BLVD NE, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87113 WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE SIX-MONTH TOYOTACARE SERVICE WILL INCLUDE FIXING ANY PENDING SAFETY RECALL. HOWEVER, AFTER THE SERVICE, WHEN I CHECKED THE PAPERWORK, I FOUND OUT THAT THE PENDING SAFETY RECALL (MANUFACTURER RECALL: 20TA02, NHTSA RECALL: 20V012) WAS NOT FIXED AND IT WAS CLAIMED THAT THERE WERE NO SAFETY RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE (SEE THE ATTACHED PAPERWORK). I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE AMERICAN TOYOTA AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE DIDN'T GIVE ME A REASONABLE REASON SO I DEMANDED TO TALK A MANAGER. THE MANAGER DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE SAFETY RECALL WAS NOT FIXED SO HE PROMISED TO DO SOME INVESTIGATIONS AND GET BACK TO ME. LATER, A SENIOR MANAGER FROM THE AMERICAN TOYOTA CALLED ME AND GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING REASONS FOR NOT FIXING THE SAFETY RECALL: - I SPECIFICALLY DIDN'T ASK FOR SAFETY RECALL TO BE FIXED - AMERICAN TOYOTA DIDN'T HAVE A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME TO FIX THE SAFETY RECALL - AMERICAN TOYOTA MADE FALSE STATEMENT ON THE SERVICE PAPERWORK THAT THERE WAS NO SAFETY RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I TALKED TO THE SENIOR SERVICE MANAGER AT AMERICAN TOYOTA, HE PROMISED TO GET THE DATABASE AND PAPERWORK UPDATED SOON BUT AS OF TODAY (THREE WEEKS LATER) I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CORRECTED PAPERWORK FROM THE AMERICAN TOYOTA. I SEE THIS A SYSTEMATIC ISSUE AT AMERICAN TOYOTA TO FALSELY MARK THE SERVICE PAPERWORK AS NO PENDING SAFETY ISSUE IF THE CUSTOMER DIDN'T ASK FOR FIXING A SAFETY ISSUE AND/OR IF A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN IS NOT AVAILABLE.
