2017 Toyota Land Cruiser: problems, recalls and fuel economy
NHTSA has 4 owner complaints on file for the 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser, and none of them mention a crash, a fire or an injury[1]. The complaints cluster around safety restraints and seating.
Most reported problems
Here are the complaint groups in the stories we read, biggest first.
- Air Bags. 3 complaints name this group[4]. Owners describe a passenger air bag that was switched off by a faulty sensor, and long waits for a repair after being told about a safety campaign. Some say the dealer had no parts or no fix to offer yet.
- Seat Belts. 2 complaints name this group[5]. These come from the same owners who wrote about the air bags, since one complaint can name several parts. They describe the same wait for a repair.
- Seats. 1 complaint names this group[6]. The owner describes the memory seat settings and worries that a driver seat can be saved in a fully reclined position.
Recalls
Newest first. Each recall covers only certain vehicles, so not every 2017 Land Cruiser is necessarily included.
- Air Bags › Frontal › Passenger Side › Inflator Module (18V887), December 2018. About 89,740 vehicles are potentially affected across every model and year the recall names. The recall names these risks: a crash, injury, an air bag that may not work as intended. Dealers do the repair free of charge.[7]
