Toyota Motor Company Australia has recalled 11,020 examples of its 2025 Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series, citing a potential fault with the transmission solenoid.
The affected vehicles were produced in 2025, and are expected to be a mix of 2025 and 2026 model-year vehicles.
The recall notice, lodged by Toyota Australia, says: "The impacted LandCruiser 300 vehicles are equipped with a 10‑speed automatic transmission that uses linear solenoids to control gear shifts.
"If a solenoid fails under certain conditions, the Transmission ECT-ECU may not communicate the fault to the Engine ECU, causing the transmission to over‑rev in certain gears.
"This can damage the transmission, cause a loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds, and, in some cases, may cause fluid leaks that make contact with hot exhaust components.
"These conditions may increase the risk of a collision or fire, which could also increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants."
Vehicle identification number guidance for the 11,020 vehicles involved in the recall can be found here.
Toyota Australia advises that the fault does not show any warnings and that "owners are recommended to take their impacted LandCruiser to their dealership as soon as possible for rectification."
"For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will reprogram the Transmission ECT-ECU software, free of charge to owners.
"Reprogramming will take approximately 30 minutes. Depending on the Dealer's work schedule, owners may be required to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time."
Owners can contact any Toyota dealer to verify if their vehicle is in the range involved.
