The Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series has been recalled by the automaker due to a potential issue with its 10-speed automatic transmission which may lead to a fire.
Toyota Australia has said there are no symptoms associated with the issue and advises owners to bring their vehicle to their preferred Toyota dealer as soon as possible to be examined.
“The impacted LandCruiser 300 vehicles are equipped with a 10 speed automatic transmission that uses linear solenoids to control gear shifts,” reads the notice from Toyota Australia.
“If a solenoid fails under certain conditions, the Transmission ECT-ECU [Electronically 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 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.”
