The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 series has been recalled by the automaker because of a possible problem with its 10-speed automatic transmission that could lead to a fire.
Toyota Australia has advised that there are no symptoms associated with the issue and is advising owners to take their vehicle to their preferred Toyota dealer as soon as possible to have it inspected.
“The affected LandCruiser 300 vehicles are equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission that uses linear solenoids to control gear changes,” Toyota Australia said in the statement.
“If a solenoid valve fails under certain conditions, the transmission ECT-ECU (Electronic Controlled Transmission – Electronic Control Unit) may not communicate the fault to the engine ECU, causing the transmission to over-rev in certain gears.

“This can damage the transmission, cause loss of drive power at higher speeds and, in some cases, result in fluid leaks that come into 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.”

“For all affected vehicles, Toyota dealers will reprogram the transmission ECT ECU software free of charge,” the company’s recall notice states.
Toyota Australia says reprogramming will take approximately 30 minutes, although vehicles may need to remain at the dealer longer depending on schedules.
Owners can also contact their preferred Toyota dealer on 1800 987 366 and provide the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) for further information.
The LandCruiser 300 series was part of a recall due to software issues in October 2025, affecting more than 100,000 Toyotas in Australia.
