Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. K1Q / K0Q is the number Toyota assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 19V627000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is K1Q / K0Q the same recall as 19V627000?

Yes. K1Q / K0Q is Toyota’s own number for it; 19V627000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does K1Q / K0Q cover?

2003–2008 Pontiac and Toyota, 229,460 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the K1Q / K0Q repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
