Toyota Land Cruiser recall covers 105,000 SUVs over fuel-leak fire

Around 105,000 hybrid versions of the J250-generation Toyota Land Cruiser are subject to a recall after reports of fuel leaks raised concerns about a potential fire risk.

According to a trade report, the recall relates to the fuel tube on hybrid variants of this Land Cruiser generation. Toyota is understood to be requiring either an inspection or a replacement of the affected component, depending on what that inspection reveals.

The concern is a practical one: a fuel leak in the wrong place creates the conditions for a fire, which is why this kind of issue tends to prompt a recall rather than a service advisory. If you own one of these vehicles, the appropriate step is to contact your Toyota dealer to find out whether your car falls within the recall and what action is needed.

It is worth noting that this report has not yet been corroborated by a second independent source, and no official confirmation has been published at the time of writing. Owners should treat the information as a prompt to make enquiries rather than confirmed detail, and check directly with Toyota or the official DVSA recall register for the latest position.
