Remy 17449 Starter

Remanufactured Starter for Toyota and Lexus

Remy Premium Remanufactured Starter Part Number 17449 is a 12-volt replacement starter built with a permanent magnet gear reduction design for reliable cranking performance. It is a remanufactured unit with an open nose, 13-tooth pinion, counterclockwise rotation, and an included pulley, making it a direct-fit option for a wide range of Toyota, Lexus, and Scion applications.

Remy Premium Remanufactured focuses on OE-style replacement components rebuilt to meet application-specific requirements. For shoppers comparing a Toyota Highlander starter, Lexus ES350 starter, or Toyota Camry starter, this line provides a remanufactured solution that matches the original Nippondenso-based design used across many of these vehicles.
