What 2023 Toyota BZ4X owners say
Wheels & tires
The contact owns a 2023 Toyota BZ4X equipped with Bridgestone Tires, Tire Line: Turanza EL450, Tire Size: 235/50/R20, DOT Number: EJYB. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the low tire pressure warning light illuminated on the instrument panel, prompting her to pull to the shoulder of the roadway. After a visual inspection of the exterior of the vehicle, the driver observed that the front passenger side tire was flat. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. After the dealer inflated the tire, the contact observed severe bubbling of the sidewall, requiring the tire to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 5,000.
235/50/R20. Found driver side rear tire completely flat in personal garage yesterday morning and passenger front tire had low psi warning on as well. Used the fix-a-flat kit that came with my car to fill driver rear and able to get to shop. Car/tires have 5000 miles on them. Tire shop could not find anything wrong with the driver rear tire but stated a puncture was found in passenger front tire well and did patch that. I see this has been reported before on a Toyota Bz4x same year and same tire with mileage the same as well. I am concerned this could be an issue going forward and am scared to drive this car now any distance especially since there is no spare and I have to purchase a replacement cylinder for the fix-flat.

Body & structure
While driving on the highway under normal conditions with no road hazards present, the engine under cover (part #51441-42210) detached from my vehicle and the bumper clips broke, causing both the under cover and bumper to become damaged and requiring replacement. There was no collision, no debris, no pothole, or any other road hazard involved. The failure occurred solely under routine highway driving conditions. Upon taking the vehicle to my Toyota dealership, the service team acknowledged this is a known and recurring issue with the bZ4X model. Research and owner forums confirm multiple 2023 bZ4X owners have experienced the identical failure - undercarriage cover and bumper detachment under normal driving and rain conditions. …
I drove my 2023 TOYOTA BZ4X home from work after a heavy rainfall in Galveston, Texas in January 2024, had about 2-3 inches of rain on the road, driving about 15-20 miles per hour on my way home. Both front wheel wells/mud guard liners came off. I drove over one of the liner, stopped and picked it up. Also a liner in the back of the car's undercarriage was hanging out. Took the car to the dealership the next morning and was told since it's due to external force/rain. The warranty on a 6 months old car is not covered. Called Toyota cooperate office and was told the same thing. I was quoted $4000 for the repairs. This should not be happening on a new car while driving 15 miles per hour on 2 inches of water on the road. I know it's 2 inches because I stepped out to pick up the fallen piece and checked the depth of water on the road. There should be a recall on this parts. …
