Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Grand Highlander.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is the launch year of the nameplate, equipped with an S8 automatic transmission and EPA ratings of 21/27/23 mpg. In the model's complaint history from 2024 through 2026, this first year carries the highest reported owner complaints at 197—well above the 2026 low of 16—with "Unknown Or Other" listed as the top complaint area and four recalls on record.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 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.

The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander recorded 197 complaints, 4 recalls, and 127 technical service bulletins. In contrast, the 2025 model year shows a sharp decline to 55 complaints, 3 recalls, and 38 tsbs, and the 2026 model year further drops to 16 complaints, 2 recalls, and 25 tsbs. This downward trend suggests that early‑generation issues were progressively addressed in subsequent years. The 2024 year’s top complaint categories were Unknown Or Other (30), Air Bags (19), Power Train (14), and Fuel/Propulsion System (13), with six crash‑related and one fire‑related complaints reported. Considering the higher volume of complaints and recalls in 2024 relative to the later model years, a buyer seeking the lowest‑risk option may prefer a 2025 or 2026 example, though the 2024 remains viable if price advantage outweighs the higher reported issues.
