Common problems with the Toyota Land Cruiser

Some problems will only occur after many years of operation, others are related to technical solutions and forced the manufacturer to issue a recall. In the following overview, you will find the most common problems for the Toyota Land Cruiser, for which Toyota has announced a recall through the EU Rapex system.

If the problem is corrected in time, it may not affect the overall reliability of your Toyota Land Cruiser. However, the fault can often remain unresolved because the previous owner didn´t know about the recall or ignored the manufacturer’s letter.
