“A transmission fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a vehicle fire whilst driving.

“A loss of motive power whilst driving and/or a vehicle fire could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and/or damage to property.”

A spokesperson for Toyota Australia said the recall was part of a global mandate from Toyota, with no incidents reported Down Under yet. 

Toyota will contact affected owners in writing to organise an appointment at a Toyota dealership to rectify the issue free of charge. 

The LandCruiser 300 Series recently had its price increased by $1000 across the range, with the starting price, before on-road costs, now $99,340 for the base GX variant.
