2024 TOYOTA BZ4X — Complaint #2122914
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR filed August 21, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2122914 (ODI reference 11682285) concerns a 2024 TOYOTA BZ4X and was filed on August 21, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 20, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:rearview mirrors/devices:exterior, 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 visibility:rearview mirrors/devices:exterior 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 2024 TOYOTA BZ4X shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I am very concerned about potential accidents for my self and others driving this vehicle. I have multiple close call accidents because the left view mirror does't have proper view to see cars on left side especially if they are close. The way seat and the side of the vehicle is shaped its very hard to still see manually with head turned to the left rear side. The mirror or the shape or position needs to be changed for safety to prevent accidents.
