Toyota is recalling more than 105,000 Land Cruiser SUVs in the United States because of the potential for a fuel leak that could increase the risk of a fire.
The recall covers 105,794 Toyota Land Cruiser hybrids from model years 2024 through 2027, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday.
The affected vehicles were produced between Nov. 29, 2023, and Oct. 1, 2026.
The problem stems from a connection between two fuel lines near the gas tank. A resin fuel tube from the tank connects to a metal tube that carries gasoline toward the engine. If a retaining clip at that connection becomes lifted or displaced, the two tubes could separate and allow fuel to leak.
The leak could continue until the gasoline engine in the Land Cruiser’s hybrid system shuts off, according to NHTSA.
If the leaking gasoline comes into contact with an ignition source, it could increase the risk of a fire.
Toyota estimates that about 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may contain the defect.
All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified to return their vehicles to a Toyota dealer, NHTSA said. Dealers will inspect the connection and install an additional clamp at this connection to prevent the fuel tube from coming loose.
If necessary, dealers will replace the resin fuel tube, too. The repairs will be performed at no cost to owners.
Toyota expects to begin mailing notification letters to affected owners on Nov. 29.
Other Toyota Recalls This Year
The Land Cruiser recall comes soon after Toyota announced another safety campaign involving its newest plug-in hybrid SUVs.
On Oct. 7, Toyota recalled 30,978 model-year 2026 RAV4 Plug-In Hybrids because of a software problem that could cause the vehicles to unexpectedly lose driving power.
The problem involves the computer that controls the vehicle’s electric motors. A software error can cause the plug-in hybrid system to reduce power or shut down while the vehicle is traveling at higher speeds, according to NHTSA.
An unexpected loss of driving power could increase the risk of a crash, the agency said.
The affected RAV4s were built between July 22, 2025, and Aug. 19, 2026.
Dealers will instead install updated software in the affected control unit at no cost to owners. Toyota expects to begin mailing notification letters on Nov. 22.
Another Toyota recall in June covered 20,991 electric vehicles, including 11,495 Toyota bZ models, 4,757 Subaru Solterra models, and 4,739 Lexus RZ models.
The problem involved software in an electronic control unit that monitors the high-voltage battery. Toyota said the defect could cause the system to incorrectly detect a problem with the battery and shut down the vehicle’s electric drive system, causing a loss of propulsion while driving.
Toyota said all of the vehicles included in that recall were expected to contain the defective software. Other Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru EVs were not affected because they used either a different control system or software.
Owners of the affected vehicles were instructed to take them to dealers for a free software update.
