About this generation

Early 2003 Sequoias were recalled to reprogram the Vehicle Stability Control system due to the possibility of poor acceleration at certain low speeds. The 2002–2007 Sequoia model years had a defect in the front suspension lower ball joints. The lower ball joints may experience excessive wear due to inadequate hardness of the ball joint housing, which may result in catastrophic separation of the lower ball joint. Recently, the Sequoia, along with the Tacoma and Tundra, have another recall due to the frame prematurely rusting.

If there is a 10 mm perforation found on the frame, the vehicle frame will be replaced, if the service is done within 12 years of vehicle purchase or 1 year after recall became official. For those vehicles without 10 mm perforation and located in a cold weather state, Toyota will perform an undercoating service to prevent future rust from forming. 2002–2007 Sequoias were subject to the Takata Airbag recall.

Affected owners can have their vehicle's airbags replaced for free by a Toyota dealership.
