Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 30,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 30,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In 2023 the 86 model received 11 complaints and one recall, a noticeable decline from 21 complaints and one recall in 2022, and a further drop to three complaints in 2024. The trend across the generation shows a steady reduction in complaint volume, with 2023’s figure roughly half that of the previous year and only a single recall issued. Within the 2023 complaints, the top issue areas were Engine and Fuel/Propulsion System, each with three complaints, followed by Engine & Engine Cooling and Exterior Lighting with one each, while there were no crash or fire complaints reported. The data indicates that 2023 sits near the low end of the complaint arc, suggesting improved reliability compared to 2022. Given the steady decline in complaints and the absence of safety‑critical issues, 2023 is a strong year to consider purchasing a used GR86.
