Two Toyota GR Corolla owners experienced vehicle fires and had their warranty claims denied by Toyota.

Bryan Banks' 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition caught fire on June 8, 2024, and his warranty claim was denied due to alleged vehicle abuse.

Sebastian R.'s 2024 GR Corolla caught fire on May 3, 2024, and his warranty claim was also denied with the cause of the fire deemed inconclusive.

Both owners received letters from Toyota's Brand Engagement Center, which cited issues such as exceeding speed limits and previous accident damage.

Toyota's response to warranty claims includes reviewing vehicle data, dealer records, and other information, but both owners faced difficulties and inconsistencies in the claims process.
