1 recall found in NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026
For the 1978 Skyline Layton. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Skyline dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
No owner complaints about the 1978 Skyline Layton were found in NHTSA’s complaint data.
