How do I check if my 2016 Toyota Highlander has an open recall?
NHTSA tracks recalls by VIN, because a recall usually applies only to specific production dates and component batches — not every 2016 Toyota Highlander. Decode your 17-character VIN on VinSnap (or NHTSA's own VIN lookup) to see exactly which recalls apply to your vehicle and whether the free remedy has already been completed.
Are recall repairs free on a 2016 Toyota Highlander?
Yes. Under U.S. law, safety-recall repairs are performed free of charge by franchised Toyota dealers, regardless of the vehicle's age, mileage, or warranty status. You should not be charged for parts or labour on an open safety recall.
What should I do if my 2016 Toyota Highlander has an open safety recall?
Contact a franchised Toyota dealer with your VIN and book the free recall repair. If the recall is marked "Park It" or "Park Outside", follow that guidance immediately. Keep your contact details current with the manufacturer so recall notices reach you.
