Find out why nearly 700 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 SUVs are being recalled for a transmission oil leak. Get the details and act now.
Toyota Motor Vietnam (TMV) has issued a recall for 699 Land Cruiser 300 models built between December 5, 2024 and December 8, 2025. The affected vehicles are equipped with the 10‑speed automatic transmission.
What the problem is
Owners may notice a loss of power when driving at high speeds, accompanied by oil seeping from the transmission housing. In extreme cases, the leak could ignite, raising the risk of fire or a serious accident.
What drivers should do
TMV advises owners of affected Land Cruiser 300s to bring their vehicles to any authorized Toyota dealer in Vietnam as soon as possible. The inspection and software update – which recalibrates the transmission control unit – should take roughly 30 minutes and is provided free of charge.
How the recall works
- Dealers will contact owners of the affected SUVs and schedule a service appointment.
- During the visit, technicians will verify the VIN, perform a visual check for leaks and install the latest transmission‑control software.
- For imported, non‑officially‑registered Land Cruiser 300s that fall within the recall scope, TMV will first confirm ownership details before proceeding with the free service.
Vehicle background
The Land Cruiser 300 launched globally in June 2021 and arrived in Vietnam shortly thereafter as a fully authorized import from Japan. It features a 3.5‑liter twin‑turbo V6 engine delivering up to 409 hp and 650 Nm of torque, paired with a 10‑speed automatic gearbox and permanent 4WD system.
In Vietnam, the model is priced at approximately VND 4.58 billion.
