2019 Toyota Mirai

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Mirai.

Body PASSENGER CAR

The 2019 Toyota Mirai enters the reference record as a passenger car carrying a notably light reliability footprint, with just four owner complaints logged and no recalls issued. The dominant concern among those few filings centers on the air bag system, a single category that nonetheless anchors the model's complaint profile for the year. Set against the broader 2016–2025 complaint history — where yearly totals have ranged from a single complaint in 2020 to a peak of ten in 2022 — the 2019 model year sits comfortably in the quieter half of the spectrum. For researchers tracking the nameplate's reliability arc, that positioning marks 2019 as a baseline year rather than a turning point, predating the complaint spike that would later materialize in 2022.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 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 2019 Mirai sits near the middle of a generation that has shown a modest rise in complaints—from 2‑4 complaints in the first three model years to a peak of 10 in 2022—while recalls remained absent until 2021 and then increased to two per year by 2024. Compared with its predecessor (2018’s 2 complaints, 0 recalls) and its successor (2020’s 1 complaint, 0 recalls), 2019’s four complaints are slightly above the early‑year average but well below the later surge. The total number of Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) fell steadily from 197 in 2016 to 111 in 2019, indicating that many earlier issues had already been addressed by the time the 2019 model was produced. The top complaint areas for 2019 were air‑bag concerns (2 reports), a single fuel/propulsion system issue, and one steering/brake control complaint, with only one crash‑related complaint and no fire reports. Overall, the 2019 Mirai experiences modest complaint levels, no recalls, and a declining TSB count, suggesting it is a relatively safe year to purchase within this generation.
