Toyota Land Cruiser Recalled in India: 969 Units Affected

According to the company, "The subject vehicle is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission that contain linear solenoids to control the shifting of gears. if solenoid failure occurs under certain driving conditions, the transmission control unit and the Engine ECU may not communicate the failure, resulting in the transmission over-revving in certain gears. This could result in damage to the transmission and a loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds. if damage occurs to the transmission housing, there is also the possibility for transmission fluid to leak form the housing."

Toyota has also issued a recall addressing a similar concern in the Lexus LX, which uses the same 10-speed automatic transmission unit as the Land Cruiser 300.

The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 is currently priced from Rs 2.15 crore (ex-showroom) in India. It is equipped with a 3.3-litre V6 turbo diesel engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The engine produces 304 hp and 700 Nm of torque. The same powertrain is also used in the Lexus LX sold in India.
