Toyota Fj Cruiser: Owner Complaints and Recalls by Model Year

This is the Toyota Fj Cruiser complaint and recall record by model year (2007–2008). 707 owner reports are on file across 2 years. 2007 has the highest count (586) — often because that year has had longer to collect reports, not because this page ranked it. Open a year to see what owners named, the recall list, and the filings themselves.

Toyota Fj Cruiser filings that NHTSA splits across body-style names are combined here. Related weight classes stay separate.

Across these years, owners named Body / frame more often than any other part of the truck. Unclassified leftovers from NHTSA are not a diagnosis.

In plain English

Across 2 years of the Toyota Fj Cruiser, owners named Body / frame more often than any other system. That is a pattern in the file, not a diagnosis of the vehicle in the driveway.

2007 has the most reports (586). Older years collect more filings just by being around longer. Open the year you are actually buying — not the peak year unless that is the one in the listing.

Each row is a model year. The system column is what owners named most that year. Click the year for the inspect list, the recall campaigns, and the owner text.

What to do with this table

You do not need to read every year. Use the year you are shopping.

  1. Open that Toyota Fj Cruiser year below. The peak year is only useful if it is the one you are buying.
  2. Body / frame. Look for rust, collision repair and body gaps that do not match a clean truck.
  3. On that year-page, look up the VIN at nhtsa.gov for open recalls.
  4. Take repeating symptoms to a mechanic. Do not turn the complaint total into a score.

Open the model year in the listing — not the peak year unless that is the one you are shopping. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov, inspect the system owners named most, then read a few owner filings.

Do these counts mean the Toyota Fj Cruiser is unreliable?

No. Counts are self-selected and not normalised for sales volume. YearTell does not publish reliability scores.
