Common problems reported by 2025 Toyota Gr86 owners, with recommended fixes and estimated repair costs.
Rear Turn Signal / Hazard Flasher Failure
An inappropriate design of the control circuit in the rear combination lamp can cause the rear turn signals and/or hazard warning flashers to become intermittently inoperative. Other drivers may not be alerted to the vehicle's intended direction changes.
Toyota/Subaru issued a recall (NHTSA 23V-777) to replace both rear combination lamp assemblies free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 8, 2024.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallExcessive RTV Sealant Causing Oil Starvation
Some engines may have excess RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) sealant applied during assembly that can break off internally with use, collecting in the oil pump and impeding oil flow. This can lead to oil starvation and catastrophic engine failure, sometimes as early as 14,000 miles.
If engine knocking or low oil pressure warning occurs, stop driving immediately and have the engine inspected. Toyota has replaced engines in documented cases. Maintain detailed service records and escalate to Toyota corporate if the dealer denies warranty coverage.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty; $7,000 - $11,000 for engine replacement if deniedData Communication Module (DCM) Activation Failure
Certain 2022 GR86 vehicles were delivered with the Data Communication Module for Toyota Connected Services not properly activated during the pre-delivery process. This prevents access to remote services, safety connect, and the Toyota app connectivity features.
Toyota issued a recall to complete DCM activation at the dealer. The dealer performs the DCM programming procedure. Some owners have reported difficulties with the activation process requiring multiple dealer visits.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallValve Spring Concern (Boxer Engine Heritage Issue)
The FA24 2.4L boxer engine shares design lineage with the previous FA20 that had a known valve spring recall. While the FA24 has not had a formal valve spring recall, some owners report ticking noises from the valvetrain, especially when cold, raising concern about valve spring integrity.
If persistent valvetrain ticking is heard, have the dealer perform a valve lash inspection and check for relevant TSBs. Ensure engine oil is the correct 0W-20 specification and changed at the recommended 6,000-mile interval.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty for inspection; $1,000 - $2,500 for valve spring replacementInfotainment and Connectivity Issues
The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system can exhibit slow response, occasional freezes, and difficulty maintaining stable Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connections. Some owners report the navigation system losing GPS signal intermittently.
Check with the dealer for the latest firmware updates for the head unit. A system reset (hold the power button for 10+ seconds) can clear temporary glitches. Ensure your phone's operating system is updated for best CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility.
Est. Cost: $0 for software updates
