Overview
- Australian recalls cover 11,020 Toyota LandCruiser 300s and 589 Lexus LXs after notices were lodged on 18 February 2026.
- The issue involves linear solenoid failure in the 10‑speed automatic that can prevent the transmission ECU from alerting the engine ECU, leading to over‑revving, potential loss of power, and possible fluid leaks onto hot exhaust components.
- Manufacturers warn there are no driver‑visible symptoms, and owners are urged to check VINs and book dealer visits promptly.
- The software reflash of the Transmission ECT‑ECU is expected to take about 30 minutes, though vehicles may need to remain with dealers longer depending on scheduling.
- Separately, voluntary campaigns in India cover 969 Land Cruiser and 117 Lexus LX vehicles built in specified 2024–2025 ranges, with brands reporting no local incidents to date.
