Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault.

Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.
Recalls: Toyota T230 Celica
- In February 2003, a recall was issued for Toyota T230 Celica vehicles manufactured from 25 March 2002 and 4 November 2002 due to the potentially improper installation of the fuel tank check valve, which could cause it to become dislodged from its location. In the event that the check valve was dislodged and the internal pressure in the fuel tank was high, reverse fuel flow could occur (PRA 2003/5999).
- In September 2004, a recall was issued for Toyota T230 Celica models manufactured from 22 July 1999 to 30 June 2000 due to the possibility that the rubber seal ring located in the brake master cylinder may be corroded due to an improper washing process during assembly. As a result, brake fluid may leak (PRA 2004/7262).
