2023 TOYOTA BZ4X — Complaint #2077312
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS filed March 26, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2077312 (ODI reference 11650708) concerns a 2023 TOYOTA BZ4X and was filed on March 26, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 27, 2025. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:frame and members:underbody shields, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA BZ4X cohort independently describe similar structure:frame and members:underbody shields failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2023 TOYOTA BZ4X shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I drove the car at 40mph through about 2 inches of standing water. This caused the undercarriage splash plate to become loose. It has not fallen off, but it will need to be repaired. The streets sometimes flood and none of the cars Iâve owned ever had this happen.
