Toyota Land Cruiser Recalls

The Toyota Land Cruiser has 15 recalls spanning 1981 through 2025, with the most serious recent issue being a fuel pump failure on 2018-2019 models that can stall the engine while driving and raise the risk of a crash.

On the most current production years, 2024-2025 models with the Panoramic View Monitor system have a software error that can cause the rearview camera to freeze or go blank while reversing, reducing visibility behind the vehicle. There are also two overlapping load capacity label recalls on 2024-2025 models where the printed weight values may be incorrect or illegible, which can lead to unknowing overloading.

Stepping back into the prior generation, 2008-2019 models have a seatbelt tension sensor wire harness that can break over time and deactivate the front passenger airbag, knee airbag, and seat-mounted side airbag, leaving those systems inactive in a crash. On 2008-2016 models, some vehicles were fitted with an incorrect driver or front passenger airbag that may not deploy as intended in a crash. A 2019 model year label recall covers vehicles distributed through Gulf States Toyota where the load capacity label text can become illegible.

Going further back, 2003-2006 models have side curtain airbags that can deploy without warning, raising the risk of occupant injury. The 2009 model year has a separate issue involving aftermarket ceiling-mounted air conditioning units where an electrical fault in the unit can cause a fire. A 2016 model year label recall affects vehicles with accessories whose added weight was not correctly reflected on the load label.

Earlier production has several isolated issues. The 1990 model has a fuel tank assembly defect where fuel can leak near an ignition source and cause a fire. The 1988 model can develop high fuel tank pressure under heat and heavy load, eventually cracking the tank and leaking fuel. The 1982 model has a rear seat lap belt that can fail to retract fully, preventing subsequent passengers from properly buckling in. The 1981 model has a tie rod end that can crack and fracture under sustained high-speed rough-road driving, which would compromise steering control.
