“Upon purchasing my 2023 Toyota Sequoia, I noticed that the rear hitch cover had a tendency to come loose while driving and eventually fall off. I promptly addressed this issue with the dealership, and they replaced it with a new one. However, the problem persisted, and the replacement cover also failed after just a few days. This occurred when the vehicle had been driven for approximately 2,000 miles. The hitch cover continues to fall off.”
NHTSA complaint #11605406, filed 2024-07“The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the hitch cover detached from the rear bumper. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.”
NHTSA complaint #11601557, filed 2024-07, 21,000 miles“The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid. The contact stated that the tow hitch cover had separated from the vehicle while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the part was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V640000 (Structure, Trailer Hitches); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. …”
NHTSA complaint #11644874, filed 2025-02, 6,500 miles“The factory (OEM) roof rails on my 2023 Toyota Sequoia have become loose at the front and are popping up, no longer sitting flush or appearing securely attached to the roof. This issue occurs during normal driving and is visible without removing any trim or components. The front portion of the OEM roof rails appears to lift or separate, creating concern that the rails or associated hardware could detach while the vehicle is in motion. This presents a potential safety hazard due to the risk of parts coming loose at speed and becoming road debris, which could endanger other vehicles. …”
NHTSA complaint #11731556, filed 2026-04“A water leak was identified in the front left pillar from the support handle. It was sent in to Olympia Toyota who believed that body work was needed. The vehicle was then transferred to Titus Toyota in Tacoma. The assessment in Tacoma was very different than that in Olympia, and the vehicle was sent in to repair without first making contact with the owner. The assumption is that water is leaking in through a defect in the roof railing system. Multiple alerts have deployed: air bag warning, pre-collision system warning, lighting warning. …”
