• Recall 90579 [USA]: If a brake tube becomes damaged and leaks fluid, it may result in increased stopping distances, and in some cases, loss of vehicle front braking performance, which could increase the risk of a crash.
  Toyota is recalling certain toyota racing development (trd) brake kits, p/n ptr09-35070, and trd high-performance brake kits, p/n ptr09-35100, installed by toyota vehicle processing centers and sold by toyota dealers as an optional accessory for model year 2007 through 2012 toyota fj cruiser vehicles.

• Recall 76843 [USA]: Failure to warn of tire deflations is a non-compliance with fmvss 138 and could lead to tire failure increasing the risk of a crash.
  Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2011 fj cruiser, land cruiser, tacoma, sequoia and tundra vehicles for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 138, "tire pressure monitoring system (tpms)." when factory-installed wheels and tires were replaced with toyota authorized accessory wheels and lt tires prior to first sale, the tire pressure monitoring systems were not re-calibrated correctly and therefore do not start illuminating the low tire pressure warning telltale at the required minimum activation pressure.

• Recall 2013084 [Canada]: Seats and restraints
  On certain vehicles, due to insufficient strength of the access door (rear door) panels, cracks may develop if the access doors are repeatedly and forcefully closed over an extended period of time. As the driver and front passenger seat belt retractors are mounted in the access door panels, if cracks occur in the panel around the lower retractor anchor, the seat belt retractors could become detached. This could increase the risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash. Correction: dealers will inspect the rear door panels for cracks or separation. Depending on the results of the inspection, the dealer will repair as necessary.

• Recall 2012353 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles equipped with a toyota racing development (trd) high-performance brake kit sold and installed by toyota dealerships, the clearance between the front outer brake tubes and the trd 16-inch 6-spoke alloy wheels is small. If wheel weights are installed in an incorrect location, the outer brake tubes could be damaged. This could cause a brake fluid leak which could result in a loss of front brake function. In conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver’s reactions, this could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace both front outer brake tubes with updated versions.

Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

Rust to the frame of the car not consummate with the age of the vehicle, rust to the straps that secure the fuel tank. Points that affix the brake lines to the vehicle frame have rusted to the point they're no longer affixed to the frame. The rate at which rust gestates on this vehicle (and i am much more attentive than the typical consumer) is unsafe and will continue to create unsafe conditions as these vehicles rapidly deteriorate. The rust prevention methods used by the factory are entirely inadequate.

The vehicle has heavy rust all along the undercarriage and frame. I have friends and acquaintances that have the same problem and to remove as much of this rust as possible toyota will charge somewhere between $800 and $1,000.

Lower control arms rusted. Need replaced couldn't adjust them for alignment. Frame rusting front and rear diff rusting. Stock skid plate replaced rusted through completely. I thoroughly wash salt off my vehicle, yet it still has rusted just like the original frame recall toyota hasn't gotten it right. Need another recall. I've lived with mine, but others have it much worse.

Hello, i was sold a used vehicle by toyota dealership of downtown los angeles (ca) that has a broken windshield. They state they will not assist me in any way for a broken windshield. The windshield has multiple cracks and chips in it strewn across the windshield. It causes serious visual disturbance, especially at night since the chipped glass distorts lights and vehicles, almost blurs the view. Initially, i believed it was traces of tree sap, i made several attempts to remove this 'tree sap' spots, only to discover that they wouldn't go away because it's actually broken glass.

Cruse controll quit working in motion.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota fj cruiser. While driving unknown speeds and making turns, the steering hesitated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (carbone toyota of bennington, located at 751 n bennington rd bennington, vt 05201) where it was diagnosed that the steering shaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 144,900.

At 55,000 miles (6 years old) my front gravel shield had completely rusted off and was found in my driveway. I took my car to my toyota service center and they notified me that both control arms and both front struts were very badly rusted and needed to be replaced. I called toyota corporate and after much debate, i was told there was no recall for this matter and therefore they would only reimburse me 50% of all costs to replace said parts. I found toyota has recalls for rust issues on other models and would like this matter looked into. Due to the limited production of this vehicle type it is possible it is being overlooked. I am terrified at the thought that i could've been driving and my control arms could've rusted off like my gravel shield did. A six year old vehicle with only 55,000 should not have this type of rust or parts falling off.

June 19, 2016 my wife stopped the vehicle at the top of our driveway, which has a slight decline to the front of our house. She left it running, put it in park, put the emergency brake on. She got out of the vehicle, walked back down to the house and back up, the vehicle took off down the driveway, running into the house. The vehicle bounced back from the house about 10-12 feet. It was still running, with the emergency brake still on, but the gear shift was now in reverse. My wife then turned the engine off, where the vehicle sat for about 5 days. The front end of the vehicle had to be replaced, and the wall into the house had to be rebuilt. $10,000 repair to the vehicle, $16,000 to the house. Toyota sent an engineer to review the damage and pull edr readings. He stated that the emergency brake was working properly, the gear shift was working properly, and that he could not duplicate the issue (even though the engine could not run at that time). He also stated that he could not pull any readings from the edr. Toyota was not easy to work with, and their communication with me left a lot to be desired.
