There is currently an ongoing recall for the GR Supra over the starter. I currently drive a 2020 and have had periodic starter malfunctions. This is when I go to start the car it states starter system malfunction then lets me still turn it on after clearing the error message. I have brought this up to my dealership and due to the intermittent nature of the issue they said they could not diagnose and that continuity was good so they would not replace it and if they did it would not be covered. I fear that my car is a fire risk based on the recall notices for all the other model years and that when it happens I will be left holding the bag. The date listed below (7/17/2026) is just the last…

I am reporting a safety concern involving BMW and Toyota vehicles equipped with the B58 Technical Update (B58TU) engine, commonly found in 2019â2021 models. These engines use a variable displacement oil pump with an internal thermoplastic adjusting component that regulates oil pressure. Field reports show this component can fracture, causing sudden loss or instability of oil pressureâmost often during cold starts in low temperatures. When the part fails, oil pressure regulation becomes erratic or disappears entirely, often with little or no useful warning before engine damage or vehicle disablement. Reported early signs include failed electronic oil level readings, abnormal pressure…

The contact owns a 2020 Toyota Supra. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle with the Push-to-Start button, the vehicle hesitated while starting. A message that the engine was overheating was displayed. The contact stated that the vehicle was idling in Low Power Mode while at a stoplight, and the vehicle hesitated while accelerating with the accelerator pedal depressed. The vehicle then suddenly jolted forward. The failure was temporarily fixed after shifting to SPORT Mode. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where the starter was replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to a local independent BMW Service Center,…

I am reporting a safety concern involving BMW and Toyota Supra vehicles equipped with the B58 Technical Update (B58TU) engine, commonly found in model years 2019â2021. These vehicles utilize a variable-displacement engine oil pump containing an internal thermoplastic adjusting component responsible for regulating oil pressure. Field failures are increasingly being reported in which this internal component fractures, resulting in sudden loss or instability of engine oil pressure. The failure frequently occurs during cold-start operation in low ambient temperatures. When the component fails, oil pressure regulation becomes erratic or is lost entirely. In many cases, drivers receive little…

The 2020 - 2025 Toyota Supra is manufactured by BMW and uses virtually all components supplied by BMW. The vehicle includes dual climate controls (driver / passenger) and the temperature of the air from the vents is controlled independently. It is known by BMW that the blend door or the actuator (motor) - which regulates how much cold versus hot air is mixed per the control setting - can break or be deformed. This is a manufacturing defect in the heating unit, not a wear issue. No heat is available to the driver either through the center vent, the left vent, and most importantly from a safety standpoint, the vents at the windshield. This means defrosting or defogging the windshield during…

The vehicle Parking / Backup / Cross Traffic assist warnings do not work unless the objects are within approx 2 feet of the car. When backing up there is no warning of any on coming traffic or a child behind the car. If a individual is at the rear of the car there is no visible or audible warnings. Only warning is either seeing the individual in the rear window or on the camera. This has been brought to the manufactures attention and they say this is the normal operation. All other cars I have had cross traffic and pedestrian alerts have visual and audible alerts. The car says that it is suppose to have them.

Rear hatch will not open electrically and/or from the interior manual release handle. If someone gets stuck in the trunk or a pet, won't be able to come out. I had items I bought and if they included battery or dangerous item, my safety would be at risk. There is no rear realse hatch button from the outside the car. NO other problems or accidents. Is there any additional weight mounted on the rear hatch (e.g. a spoiler)? No Does the latch release electrically? No 4. When attempting to release electrically, does the latch make a noise? No, but you can hear a light click in the wiring when you press the trunk electronic button 5. Does the latch release from the interior manual release?…
