Toyota is known as the most reliable automaker ever, even inspiring Ford to lay off a ton of employees and rethink its entire production process and mindset.
So it’s always a bit shocking to see a Toyota vehicle get recalled. Especially when it’s a serious recall like this one.
Toyota has announced that it is recalling 105,795 Land Cruisers due to possible fuel leaks. The issue has been traced to fuel line connection problems. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), hybrid Land Cruisers from 2024 to 2027 have a plastic fuel tube on the gas tank that connects to a metal fuel tube that sends fuel to the engine. A clip holds these two parts together, and in some vehicles it can be lifted, causing the fuel lines to disconnect.
Losing fuel is never good, especially when gas averages $4.29 a gallon across the United States. And, as you know, leaking fuel can lead to a possible fire.
While not every Land Cruiser is impacted, you will still want to head to a local Toyota dealership for a free check – and fix, if needed. You’ll be notified by mail by December 13th, but dealerships have already been informed. They’ll inspect the fuel line and install a replacement clamp.
How many recalls has Toyota had in 2026?
We’re reaching the end of 2026 and Toyota has had 23 recalls so far. This is probably more than you expected from a brand that prides itself on slowly integrating updates and tech to ensure everything is perfect. But it’s not a lot in the grand scheme of things. Ford has already hit 80, which is not surprising.
Toyota recalls can seem extensive, but that’s because Toyota sells so many vehicles. However, some major recalls affected many vehicles with serious issues.
One funny recall was an instrument panel display failure that impacted 81,839 vehicles, including its hydrogen car that nobody wants. The Mirai is basically sitting in people’s driveways as expensive paperweights. I’m sure bringing it to the dealership was the first time they drove it in years. This was in May 2026.
The Toyota Prius was another model impacted by a recall in January 2026. A couple of trims from 2023 to 2026 were involved, totaling 141,286 vehicles. The rear door switch short-circuited after washing and in similar scenarios, causing the door to open unexpectedly, even while people were driving. In January, Toyota also recalled 161,268 vehicles because the rearview camera image did not display. This affected the 2024 and 2025 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models.
In August 2026, Toyota recalled 508,354 Toyota Camrys from 2025 to 2026. The recall involved the digital gauge cluster, which obscured important information due to an error in the startup sequence. Drivers couldn’t see turn signal lamps, hazard lamps, and more.
The biggest recall, however, was in March 2026. This one affected 686,588 Toyota Highlanders and Highlander Hybrids from 2021 to 2025. According to the NHTSA, the second-row seatbacks were sometimes not locking into position. This could become a huge risk in a crash.
