Toyota GR 86 2022–2025

Summary

4 model years in 1 generation, 47 owner complaints in total.
No model year holds enough complaints in its first three years to be compared with the others.
These are complaint counts, not failure rates: they are not divided by how many cars were sold, because no public source reports U.S. sales by model year.
Half of the complaints that give a mileage were filed by 33,000 miles (4 of them give one).
Owners reported 1 crash, 1 fire, 1 injury and 0 deaths across these model years.
2 recalls and 0 federal investigations cover these model years.

Why there is no page per model year

A model year earns its own page when four sources cover it, it holds at least 50 complaints, and it can either be compared with the other years of its generation or shows one system in 40% or more of the complaints that name a component. No GR 86 year clears that bar: the highest count is 21 complaints, in 2022. Rather than publish a thin page for each year, everything known about this model is on this page.

2022–2025

Each year is counted over the same span: complaints received up to two calendar years after its model year. A year is compared only when that span is over and it holds at least 50 complaints. Fewer than three years of this generation are comparable, so no year is named.

Every model year

A model year gets its own page when four sources cover it, it holds at least 50 complaints, and it either compares with the other years of its generation or shows one system in 40% or more of the complaints that name a component. The rest are listed here with their figures.

What owners report across all years

System	Complaints	Share	Median mileage
Engine	26	58%	33,000 mi
Fuel & Propulsion	8	18%	—
Lighting	6	13%	—
Powertrain	3	7%	—
Electrical System	2	4%	—

Shares are over complaints that name a component; a complaint naming several systems is counted under each.

Engine

Owner report My cylinder 2 misfired for the second time in less than 4 months and 4k miles after the first repair was done for the same issue. I have reason to believe the dealership (Glen Toyota of Fairlawn) that did the repairs the first time did not address the issue properly. This time at a different dealer (Paul Miller Toyota)…

Fuel & Propulsion

Owner report There are two fuel lines on each side of the engine bay, driver and passenger going into the injector rails. One of the fuel lines on the driver side is rubbing on the underside of the hood, when closed, causing marks, and potentially a burst on a fuel lines, causing fires. The fuel line on my car has rub marks, and vi…

Owner report Fuel lines in the engine bay are rubbing against the hood insulation and wearing down. The first generation GR86 fuel lines had sleeves compared to the second generation..

Lighting

Owner report One day I noticed something dangling near the rear license plate while parked. It was the right-side license plate light. Upon inspection of the (good) left-side license plate light, everything seemed pretty secure. The right-side license plate light has a plastic bracket on the one side and a plastic clip on the ot…

Owner report The dome light on the driver side has failed. This is not due to a dead bulb, but instead the circuit area seems to die if the car sits in the sun. This has been confirmed by a dealer but I haven't yet scheduled an appointment to replace the electrical parts. There were no safety warnings.

Open investigations

None open.

Service bulletins

Toyota issued 42 service bulletins covering these model years, most often about unknown or other.

A bulletin tells dealers how to fix a known condition. It is not a recall and not a defect finding. Most bulletins cover several model years at once, so a bulletin listed here may not be specific to one year. The number of bulletins tracks how long and how widely a model was sold, so it is not a measure of reliability.

How to read this page

Complaint counts are not failure rates. A model that sells more cars draws more complaints, and owners file more after news coverage or a recall. That is why years are compared only with other years of the same generation, over the same span, and never with other models.
