EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

SummaryToyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2026 Corolla vehicles. The front headlights may have missing headlight aim markings, which can result in improperly aimed headlights during service. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

ODI #11737082UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I traded in my 2022 Corolla LE for a 2026 Corolla SE and I got my car on December 19th, 2025 and ever since I got it, the wireless charger hasn’t been working not once. I turn it on, it charges and the light is green and after a few seconds, it stops charging and flashes orange repeatedly. I tried it with different phones, without a case, and brought it to the dealership where they replaced the wireless charger but the issue continued with the new charger, so they put back the original one. The dealership told me it’s a defect issue and that other people had similar issues.

ODI #11728132AIR BAGS,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCECRASH

#### The ABS Defect 12. Within seven (7) days of purchase, and with fewer than [NUMBER] miles driven, the subject vehicle experienced a catastrophic failure of the ABS pump containing the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) [citation:1 from previous analysis]. 13. This failure caused the ABS warning light to illuminate and completely disabled the ABS functionality, reducing the braking system to non-power-assisted, pre-ABS technology. 14. The failure occurred with no warning and despite the vehicle being operated under normal driving conditions. 15. Upon information and belief, the ABS pump/ECU unit contained manufacturing and/or design defects that existed at the time the vehicle left Defendants' control. #### The Airbag System Defect 16. On or about [DATE OF CRASH], Plaintiffs were involved in a motor vehicle collision while operating the subject 2026 Toyota Corolla. 17. Upon information and belief, the crash forces were of sufficient magnitude that the vehicle's Airbag Control Unit (ACU) should have deployed the front airbags. 18. The airbags failed to deploy, causing Plaintiffs to sustain enhanced injuries that would have been prevented or mitigated had the airbags functioned properly. 19. Upon information and belief, the Airbag Control Unit in the subject vehicle is of the same type or design as those implicated in prior class action litigation against Toyota involving defective ACUs manufactured by ZF-TRW Automotive . 20. Defendants have previously settled claims regarding ACUs that were vulnerable to "electrical overstress," which could disable the airbag system entirely during a crash, for 78.5 million . 21. Defendants failed to warn Plaintiffs that the 2026 Toyota Corolla might contain an ACU with these same vulnerabilities.

ODI #11723319SUSPENSIONCRASH

The contact rented a 2026 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, she heard a loud pop and the vehicle forcibly swerved to the right. The vehicle crashed into an unoccupied parked vehicle. The contact stated that the front driver's side tire was 90 degrees outward. The air bags did not deploy. The contact did not sustain any injuries, and no medical attention was received. The police were called, but they did not arrive on the scene. A police report was submitted online. The vehicle rental company towed the vehicle to a tow yard. The contact was unaware whether the vehicle had been deemed totaled by the insurance company. The contact related the failure to the suspension. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 766. The VIN was not available.

ODI #11719536ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKESCRASH

On February 19, 2026, at only 80 driven miles in this new 2026 Toyota Corolla hatchback, while moving slowly in reverse on dry pavement with no throttle input, no sharp steering and no misuse of the brake the vehicle spun out of control 4-5 times in the parking lot finally causing a collision with a parked vehicle which then it stopped. This collision nearly caused serious injury to the driver. Since its a brand new vehicle bugs and recalls are hard to tell, but we cannot drive this vehicle any longer due to safety issues.

ODI #11719598STEERING,WHEELS,SERVICE BRAKESCRASH

Make: Toyota Model: Corolla (likely hatchback/sedan) Year: 2026 VIN: [XXX] Mileage at Incident: 80 Date of Purchase: February 17, 2026 Date of Incident: February 19, 2026 Description of Defect: While moving slowly in reverse on dry pavement (no throttle, no sharp steering, no brake misuse), the vehicle suddenly spun out of control—yaw/skid like rear wheels lost grip or stability control malfunctioned and steering wheel locked. No prior warning. The spin caused a collision with another vehicle and nearly resulted in serious injury/death to the driver/owner (myself, [XXX] ). Suspected Causes (based on symptoms and similar reports): •  Possible ESC (electronic stability control) or yaw sensor failure. •  ABS/traction control pulsing/locking wheels unexpectedly in reverse. •  Electronic power steering (EPS) glitch—wheel felt “fighting” or unresponsive during the event. •  No fault codes pulled by dealer yet, but similar low-speed reverse spin-outs reported in 2025-2026 Corollas (e.g., NHTSA complaints on “ABS ghosting” or “rear-end slide”). Additional Info: •  Dealer (Toyota of Hollywood, 6920 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA) has the vehicle awaiting inspector. •  Demand letter sent/hand-delivered today (February 21, 2026) under Song-Beverly Act—safety defect, one occurrence. •  No insurance claim filed—this is manufacturer liability, not driver error. •  Photos of skid marks/collision available if requested. What I Want NHTSA to Do: Investigate for potential recall—safety risk is high (uncontrolled spin in reverse at low speed). This is the second such incident in recent Corollas I’ve seen reported; could affect others. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ODI #11698108AIR BAGSCRASH1 INJURY

The contact owns a 2026 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to avoid striking a deer the vehicle crashed into a tree. The air bags did not deploy.

The contact stated that the vehicle had not been accessed by the adjuster. The contact stated that there were damages to the front of the vehicle, the windshield was shattered, and damages to the hood of the vehicle and the front passenger's door failed to open. No Police report was filed because the crash occurred on private property. The contact later sustained chest pains, however no medical attention was received. In addition, the contact stated that the chest pain was continuous. The contact was advised by the insurance company to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle event data recorder (EDR) was retrieved; however, the contact was not provided any additional information regarding the data. The failure mileage was approximately 883.

Chart Analysis

The blue line shows 6 total NHTSA complaints filed over 2 years, with the worst year being 2026 (5 complaints, including 4 crash reports).

The amber reliability line is declining — recent years score around 14/100, lower than earlier in the vehicle's life. This pattern indicates issues are accumulating over time rather than being resolved, which is a concern for used buyers.

Red dots on the amber line flag 2 years (2025, 2026) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
