Latest News (2010) Last Updated: 21 January 2012 Welcome to the latest LandCruiser news and announcements page. Any thing related to the LandCruiser series or its Lexus equivalent will be posted on this page. November 2010: Another warning one for 120 series Prado Owners. If you haven't received it in the mail yet. Toyota have sent out a letter asking if you have the OEM bullbar fitted. If so you'll need to take it back to Toyota to have some brackets replaced since they can break. The letter does not say which year models are effected but I suspect lots of them! So see your dealer or wait for it to arrive. October 2010: Another set of recalls from Toyota for the Kluger and various Lexus models and once again the company seems targeted not that it doesn't deserve it. But balanced reporting for other manufacturer's recalls would be fairer don't you think. Link to the relevant website below. September 2010: The Toyota Hilux now gets a turn for a recall. It effects all 4x4 models and is related to the rear drive shaft mounting systems. See the page at the Aust Govt recall website for details August 2010: Updated the home page with this new 'beta' format to see if everyone likes it... August 2010: Another recall involving the 100 series LandCruiser, Lexus 470 and its predecessors. It appears to be restricted to top range Sahara version. The problem is related to the steering. See the Australian Government Recall Website. July 2010: Toyota is trouble again with various models mainly with it's Lexus band. Interesting how a massive recall on the Mitsubishi Triton or L200 (which is an international model) does not make much press! Land Cruiser seatbelt recall. Update 2010 June: Finally got a chance to write up the 3 door SWB LandCruoser Prado review Update 2010 May: The voluntary recall to fix the traction stability control on Lexus GX460 sold in the US and Europe has been resolved and the fix is a software upgrade for the model. Businessweek Note that primary safety like wearing a seat belt is optional in the US hence kind of weird. New section on small SUV/4WD after all you do need to consider other factors - we are. Small 4WD or SUV comparisons Update 2 2010 April: The voluntary recall to fix the traction stability control on Lexus GX460 sold in the US and Europe has been resolved and the fix is a software upgrade for the model. Businessweek Update 2010 April: The Lexus GX460 which is based on the Prado is in trouble! Toyota has stopped selling them in the US and attempting to confirm the validity of the claims by the 'Consumer Reports' magazine. News from Yahoo. Read the article not just more reporting repeats which appears to be media beat up. Cynically perhaps to get more subscriptions! You be the judge. I was also thinking that we really rely on cars any car to save us from mistakes. Instead of making us better and more responsible drivers we now blame cars for mistakes - because you shouldn't be driving in an reckless manner anyway sad isn't it. |
