Model-year reading

What the 2018 record can and cannot say

Owners submitted 2 complaints for the 2018 Toyota Mirai in this database. That count lands 0 above the median year in this model file, without adjusting for sales or time on the road.

The leading tag is Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking, attached to 1 reports. Its 50% share points toward a contract section worth reading, not the next component destined to fail.

The largest applicable parts midpoint belongs to Steering rack replacement at $1,738. Coverage has value only if the administrator accepts both the component and the cause.

Evidence and provenance

Three evidence layers, kept separate

NHTSA signals: 2 submitted complaints, 0 recalls and 158 manufacturer communications. These are report counts, not failure probabilities.

EPA configuration evidence: 1 matched fuel-economy configurations help remove incompatible repair scenarios.

Repair-cost modelling: 14 applicable non-wear scenarios use published benchmarks where available plus parts and independent-shop labour assumptions. These ranges are not dealer quotes, repair-shop quotes or invoices.
