2024 Toyota Grand Highlander: submitted complaint records, vehicle recall campaigns and available complaint component tags. Counts are not failure rates.
Published source snapshot. Check the record scope below before applying these counts to your vehicle.

Source: NHTSA vehicle records, recall and complaint snapshot 2026-10-18. Manufacturer communications retain their separately dated source snapshot. Counts are submitted records, not failure probabilities. One vehicle can appear in several campaigns.

Complaint model names counted: GRAND HIGHLANDER, GRAND HIGHLANDER HYBRID. Recall model names counted: GRAND HIGHLANDER, GRAND HIGHLANDER HYBRID. Complaint records are deduplicated by ODI number; vehicle recalls are counted by distinct campaign number for this year.

Model-year records

What the 2024 record can and cannot say

The 2024 record contains 242 submitted complaints. The median across this model's matched years is 79 reports. Neither number accounts for vehicle sales or time on the road. Source names: GRAND HIGHLANDER, GRAND HIGHLANDER HYBRID. NHTSA source snapshot: 2026-10-18.

Unknown Or Other is the most common displayed component tag, with 59 reports (24.4% of this year's submitted complaints). One complaint can name several components. The share describes reports, not the probability of a failure.

Engine replacement or major internal repair has the highest arithmetic midpoint for parts in the applicable planning estimates, at $8,000 before labor. A paid plan can help only if the component and cause qualify; check existing manufacturer coverage first.
