RE; RECALL 14V273000, NEVER HAD A FAILURE,HAD ORIGINAL RECALL DONE YET SERVICE DEPT CUT OFF SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE AND RELOCATED SPARE TIRE TO INSIDE OF VEHICLE. WIFE IS HANDICAPPED AND WE CANNOT USE THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT HER MOBILITY SCOOTER. I BELIEVE WAITING 7+ MONTHS FOR A FIX IS UNREASONABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE SPARE TIRES HAVE BEEN LOCATED UNDER VEHICLES FOR DECADES.I WOULD HOPE TOYOTA COULD COME UP WITH A FIX INSTEAD OF SITTING AROUND AND DOING NOTHING ! *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
