What is not covered

Toyota's New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which carries the Hybrid Battery Warranty, does not cover damage or failures resulting directly from any of the following:

  • Fire, accidents or theft.
  • Abuse or negligence.
  • Misuse — for example, racing or overloading.
  • Improper repairs.
  • Alteration or tampering, including installation of non-Genuine Toyota Accessories.
  • Lack of or improper maintenance, including use of fluids and fuel other than those specified in the Owner's Manual.
  • Installation of parts that are not Toyota Genuine Parts.
  • Airborne chemicals, tree sap, road debris (including stone chips), rail dust, salt, hail, floods, wind storms, lightning and other environmental conditions.
  • Water contamination.
  • 2025: abuse or damage to the vehicle or components that occurs as a result of participation in an HPDE/track event (High Performance Driving Event), or off-road use.
  • 2026: damage to the vehicle or components that occurs as a result of abuse or misuse of the vehicle while participating in an HPDE/track event (High Performance Driving Event), or off-road use.
  • 2025 and 2026: wear or damage from participating in competitive motorsports events.

The original 2021 printing reads "directly or indirectly."

The warranty also does not cover:

  • Tires, which are covered by a separate warranty provided by the tire manufacturer.
  • Noise, vibration, cosmetic conditions and other deterioration caused by normal wear and tear.
  • Reduction of lithium-ion battery capacity, which gradually reduces with time and use. On a 2026 car in California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Vermont or Washington, the California Emission Control Warranty covers capacity below 70% of original for 8 years or 100,000 miles.
  • Normal maintenance services such as engine tune-ups; replacement of fluids and filters; lubrication; cleaning and polishing; replacement of spark plugs and fuses; and replacement of worn wiper blades, brake pads/linings and clutch linings.
  • Failure of a vehicle on which the odometer has been altered so that actual vehicle mileage cannot be readily determined.
  • Any vehicle that has ever been branded as salvage, total loss, true mileage unknown or similar title under any state's law, or has ever been declared a "total loss" or equivalent by a financial institution or insurer. This exclusion does not apply to the emission control warranties or to any open Safety Recalls/SSCs/LSCs.
  • 2022 through 2026: software updates made available for download by owners directly, either on a complimentary basis or for a fee, as determined by Toyota in its sole discretion. This exclusion does not apply to the emission control warranties.
  • Incidental or consequential damages associated with a vehicle failure.

Scope note

US-market model years 2021 through 2026, one Toyota Warranty & Maintenance Guide per year, two printings read for every year except 2024; EPA rates the car under its 2021–2025 names, and Toyota's US site lists the 2026 model, which EPA's menu does not yet carry. The 2021 guide's original printing (5/20) is no longer on Toyota's host and is read from an archived copy of Toyota's own file. The guide delivered with a specific car is the authority for that car.
