8 safety recalls, most serious first
1. Engine
What's wrong, in plain English: Engine problems range from stalling to fire. During engine start, the engine management software may cause loss of braking assist. Full mechanical braking (without assist) remains available.
What could happen: Loss of braking assist can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the engine management software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 17, 2021. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2020 SUPRA.
- Book a repair at any authorized Toyota dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 21V598000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Manufacturer hotline: 1-800-525-7417.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
