NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS

Overall Safety Rating	Frontal crash ratings: Driver: No Test Passenger: No Test Side crash ratings: Driver: No Test Rear Passenger: No Test Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags. NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2002 Toyota 4Runner Review

"4Runner loses its 4-cyl engine and manual transmission for 2001, but gains a traction control and antiskid system. SR5 and top-line Limited models are offered, both with a V6, automatic transmission, and choice of rear- or 4WD. Traction/antiskid control is newly standard. And the 4x4s now have Toyota's new Multi-Mode drive system that allows 4WD to remain engaged on dry pavement and has low-range gearing. Other changes include a new grille and taillamps, metal-look interior trim for SR5's Sport Package. Limiteds have leather upholstery and add heated front seats and optional in-dashboard CD changer for 2001."

Warranty Information

Basic:	3 Years/36,000 Miles

Recalls Issued

US NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID	02V268
Number of Units Affected	59,394
Summary	On certain passenger vehicles, if the vehicle is driven under repeated start and stop operation in low ambient temperatures and in deep snow, there is a possibility that snow could accumulate in large quantities inside the rear wheel and freeze. The snow frozen inside the wheel could contact the rear brake line during wheel rotation. If this condition occurs frequently, the rear brake line could be damaged, which could result in leakage of brake fluid, causing a decrease in brake effectiveness.
Remedy	Dealers will replace the rear brake lines.The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during November 2002. Owners should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
Dates of Manufacture	October 2000 - February 2002
