Toyota / Supra
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 Supra year clears that bar: the highest count is 1 complaints, in 1997. Rather than publish a thin page for each year, everything known about this model is on this page.
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.

| 1996 | 0 | 0 | not compared | |
| 1997 | 1 | 0 | Accelerator & Cruise Control | not compared |
| 1998 | 1 | 0 | Engine | not compared |

Whether a recall has been done on a specific car depends on its VIN; check it at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
None open.
Toyota issued 59 service bulletins covering these model years, most often about equipment.
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.

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.
