The 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the airbag system: both a potentially incorrect airbag that may not deploy in a crash and a wiring fault that can shut off multiple airbags entirely.
The airbag concerns cover two separate problems. In one, the driver or front passenger airbag may be the wrong unit for the vehicle and may not inflate as designed during a collision, leaving the occupant without full cushioning. In the other, the wire harness connected to the seat belt tension sensor can break over time and deactivate the front passenger airbag, the knee airbag, and the seat-mounted side airbag all at once, so a front-seat passenger would have no supplemental protection in a crash. There is also a label recall affecting vehicles built during a narrow window in early 2016: the load carrying capacity label installed by the distributor may show incorrect weight figures, which could lead an owner to load the vehicle beyond its safe limit and raise the risk of a crash.
