Toyota has initiated a safety recall on certain Toyota LandCruiser 300 and Tundra vehicles produced between 10th December 2021 and 12th January 2024, affecting around 28,400 vehicles in the Australian market.
What’s the problem?
Due to an issue in the design of a certain brake clutch disc inside the 10-speed transmission, the brake clutch may not immediately disengage when the vehicle is shifted into neutral. If this occurs when the vehicle is on a flat surface, and if the driver does not apply the service brake or the parking brake, it could allow the vehicle to creep forward at a low speed (up to around 6km/h).
Are there any warnings before the problem can occur?
No
How will they fix it?
If your vehicle is affected, Toyota will reprogram the transmission ECU software free of charge to vehicle owners.
Can I continue to drive my vehicle?
Toyota says you can continue to drive your vehicle but encourages owners to ensure the brake pedal is applied and the parking brake is engaged when shifting to the “N” position.
