⚠️ Recall History — 2004 Toyota 4Runner

Data sourced from NHTSA — 0 recalls found.

No recalls found for this vehicle in the NHTSA database.

🔍 Known Issues — 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner

Secondary Air Injection System Failure HIGH

The secondary air injection pump and related components commonly fail between 80,000-120,000 miles, triggering check engine lights and emissions test failures. This system pumps air into the exhaust to reduce emissions during cold starts. Complete system replacement typically costs $1,500-2,500 at dealerships.

Lower Ball Joint Premature Wear MODERATE

Lower ball joints tend to wear out prematurely around 60,000-100,000 miles, especially on vehicles used for off-roading. Symptoms include clunking noises over bumps and uneven tire wear. Replacement of both sides typically runs $400-800 depending on labor rates.

Timing Belt and Water Pump Service MODERATE

The 4.7L V8 requires timing belt replacement every 90,000 miles along with the water pump, tensioners, and idler pulleys. This is an interference engine, so belt failure can cause catastrophic valve damage. The complete service typically costs $1,200-1,800.

Frame Rust Issues MODERATE

Vehicles in salt-prone regions commonly develop frame rust, particularly around the rear cross member and spare tire carrier mounting points. Toyota issued recalls for severe cases but moderate rust remains common after 100,000+ miles. Inspection and preventive treatment is recommended.

HVAC Blend Door Actuator Failure LOW

The climate control blend door actuators can fail around 80,000-150,000 miles, causing clicking noises and inability to control temperature zones properly. The dashboard must be partially removed for access, making labor costs $300-600 even though the part costs under $100.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What engine does the 2004 Toyota 4Runner have?
The 2004 Toyota 4Runner came with two engine options: a 2.7L 4-cylinder (3RZ-FE) producing 150 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque, or the more popular 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE) generating 235 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. The 4.7L V8 was Toyota’s premium truck engine, featuring an aluminum block with iron cylinder liners, dual overhead cams, and variable valve timing. This engine was shared with the Tundra, Sequoia, and Lexus GX470. The V8 provided excellent towing capacity up to 7,300 pounds and strong off-road performance, though fuel economy was modest at around 15-18 mpg combined.
What years are compatible with 2004 Toyota 4Runner parts?
The 2004 Toyota 4Runner shares most parts with the 2003-2009 fourth generation models, with the highest compatibility being 2003-2005 for body panels and interior components. Engine parts from the 4.7L V8 interchange with 2003-2009 4Runners, 2000-2006 Tundras, 2001-2007 Sequoias, and 2003-2009 Lexus GX470s. Suspension components are generally compatible across 2003-2009, though some variations exist between 2WD and 4WD models. The 2005 model year brought a mid-cycle refresh with updated front and rear styling, so some exterior trim pieces may not interchange perfectly between pre and post-2005 models.

How reliable is the 4.7L in a Toyota 4Runner?
The 4.7L V8 in the 2004 4Runner is generally very reliable with proper maintenance, easily reaching 200,000+ miles when cared for. The engine itself is robust with few internal failures, though the timing belt must be replaced every 90,000 miles along with the water pump to prevent catastrophic damage. The secondary air injection system is the most common failure point, typically occurring around 100,000 miles. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles, cooling system maintenance, and addressing the timing belt service on schedule are crucial for longevity. Overall, this powertrain combination has proven to be one of Toyota’s most durable truck engines.
