Toyota Supra Safety
NHTSA safety across every Toyota Supra model year we cover.
Across the 6 model years of the Toyota Supra we cover (2020 to 2026), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. 18 recalls have been issued across those years.
For the 2020 model year, the Toyota Supra's return to the market as a two-seat sports coupe represented a significant event for enthusiasts. Developed in partnership with BMW, this fifth-generation Supra revives a storied nameplate. Evaluating its safety alongside its performance heritage is essential for prospective owners.
The 2020-2024 Toyota Supra's safety profile is marked by a significant absence of federal crash-test data. NHTSA has not subjected this model to its crashworthiness assessments, leaving no star ratings or a computed Safety Index score for consumers to consult. This lack of evaluation is notable for a vehicle in production over five model years. Despite the untested status, the Supra's recall history provides concrete safety information. Across the 2020-2024 model years, the Supra has been subject to 17 recalls. Three of these were critical, designated as "park-outside" or "do-not-drive" campaigns by NHTSA, indicating defects deemed severe enough to warrant immediate attention and to caution owners against vehicle operation until remedied. Such urgent directives are rare. Owner complaints for the Supra total 42 over the covered years. While numerically modest, these complaints include four alleged crashes and one alleged injury. These are unverified but form part of the federal record. The safety information for the 2020-2024 Toyota Supra is incomplete due to the lack of crash-test data, yet its recall volume points to significant issues that have required federal intervention. Prospective buyers should verify their specific VIN at NHTSA.gov.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the Supra as an engaging, well-sorted sports car with sharp steering and a willing turbocharged engine. Most praise its driving dynamics and cockpit refinement, noting that the BMW-sourced interior brings a higher level of fit and finish than previous generations. Some reviewers raise questions about the depth of Toyota's involvement in the platform and whether the driving experience fully justifies the price of entry.
- The 2020-2024 Supra has never been crash-tested by NHTSA, so there are no federal star ratings for any covered model year. Buyers have no independent federal crash-test benchmark to reference.
- Seventeen recalls have been issued across the 2020-2024 model years. For a low-production sports car, that is a high recall count and warrants a VIN-specific check at NHTSA.gov before any purchase.
- Three of the 17 recalls carry park-outside or do-not-drive designations, the most serious warnings NHTSA can issue. These campaigns indicate defects regulators considered severe enough to advise owners not to operate the vehicle until the remedy is applied.
- Federal owner complaints include four alleged crashes and one alleged injury across the covered years. These are unverified allegations, but prospective buyers should review the complaint database at NHTSA.gov to understand the nature of issues other owners have reported.
