Toyota is recalling 105,794 vehicles in the United States over a potential fuel leak that could increase the risk of fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has said. The Toyota Land Cruiser recall affects certain 2024 to 2027 Land Cruiser Hybrid SUVs.
According to the US auto safety regulator, a fault in the fuel-tube connection near the fuel tank could cause the connection to come loose, allowing fuel to leak. If leaking fuel reaches an ignition source, it could catch fire, putting vehicle occupants and bystanders at risk.
Toyota Land Cruiser recall: what owners should do
Toyota dealers will install a supplemental clamp or replace the resin fuel tube, depending on what each vehicle needs. The company will carry out the repairs free of charge, NHTSA said.
Owners of affected vehicles can check whether their SUV falls under the recall and contact an authorised Toyota dealer for details of the repair process. The recall covers multiple model years, which underlines why the fuel-tube connection needs attention across the range.
The campaign is a hands-on fix, not a software update. Every one of the roughly 106,000 SUVs in the recall will need at least an inspection, which means Toyota dealers are in for a busy few months. Owner notification letters are expected to go out by December.
Not the Land Cruiser’s first recall
This is not the redesigned Land Cruiser’s first trip back to the workshop. In May, Toyota recalled about 82,000 vehicles, including 2024 and 2025 Land Cruisers alongside Mirai, Lexus UX and GX models, because part of the combination-meter display could go blank at startup and hide warning lights. That one was fixed with a software update. This fuel-tube issue requires physical work under the vehicle instead.
Toyota has also kept dealers busy with other hybrids. Earlier this month, the company announced a recall of 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrids over a power-loss concern. The Land Cruiser is not a niche product either: Toyota’s 2025 year-end sales report listed the Land Cruiser Hybrid among its models with a best-ever year, according to The Autowire’s coverage of the recall.
For Pakistani readers, the recall is a US action under NHTSA, but it is worth noting because the Land Cruiser is one of the most popular imported SUVs in Pakistan. Toyota’s local line-up has been expanding, and the company recently adjusted its EV tax strategy in Pakistan. Owners of imported 2024-2027 Land Cruiser Hybrids should check with their dealer whether their vehicle’s identification number falls within the affected production range, since grey imports do not always receive manufacturer recall notices.
Fuel leaks are among the most serious defects a vehicle can have, because the consequences of ignition are catastrophic. The fact that Toyota moved to a full recall rather than a service bulletin suggests the regulator and the company both treat this as a genuine safety risk, not a theoretical one.
