The work will be performed free of charge for the owners
3864 Toyota and Lexus cars are being recalled in Russia, as reported by Rosstandart. The reason is potential transmission problems in Toyota Land Cruiser 300, Lexus LX 500d and LX 600 that were sold from September 30, 2021.
«The Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology informs about the approval of a program of measures to conduct a voluntary recall of Toyota vehicles. The program of events is presented by Toyota Motor LLC, which is the official representative of the Toyota manufacturer on the Russian market. The program began on May 31, 2024, — stated in Rosstandart.
The transmission of these SUVs contains a clutch piston, which is used to engage the brake clutch discs with the plates to transfer power from the engine to the wheels: «There is a possibility that due to the design features of a certain Brake Clutch Disc When the transmission shifts into neutral and pressure is removed from the clutch piston, the brake clutch discs do not immediately disengage from the plates, allowing some of the engine power to continue to be sent to the wheels. If this condition occurs while the vehicle is on a level surface and the driver does not apply the service or parking brake, it may allow the vehicle to move forward slightly, which may increase the risk of an accident.
During the recall campaign, work will be carried out on the vehicles to reprogram the automatic transmission ECU.
