Toyota Motor Corp. announced a Land Cruiser recall on October 21, 2026, covering 105,794 hybrid vehicles in the United States because a fuel tube connection could detach, allowing fuel to leak and increasing the risk of fire. The recall affects certain vehicles from model years 2024–2027, with repairs to be provided at no cost.
Key Takeaways
- The US recall covers 105,794 Land Cruiser Hybrid vehicles from selected 2024–2027 model years.
- A connection near the fuel tank could disconnect, creating a fuel leak and potential fire hazard.
- Dealers will install supplemental clamps or replace affected resin fuel tubes as needed, free of charge.

Land Cruiser recall targets a fuel connection
The safety concern centers on the fuel tube connection near the fuel tank. If the connection separates, fuel can escape; a fire could occur if that fuel encounters an ignition source.
Toyota's description of the defect in its Canadian recall announcement says leakage could continue until the engine in the hybrid system shuts off. The hazard described is therefore a fuel-system fault, rather than a problem identified with the hybrid battery.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| US scope | 105,794 vehicles |
| Canadian scope | Approximately 6,721 vehicles |
| Affected model years | Certain 2024–2027 Land Cruiser vehicles |
| Owner repair charge | No cost |
| Canadian notification deadline | By mid-December 2026 |
Dealer repairs address the connection
The repair program is intended to secure the connection and prevent it from disconnecting. Dealers will install a supplemental clamp or replace the resin fuel tube where necessary.
Toyota's October 14 Canadian recall announcement details an inspection followed by clamp installation, with tube replacement and clamp installation if required. That announcement establishes the Canadian repair procedure and coverage; it does not establish the US vehicle count or announcement date.
Canadian owners have a notification timetable
The Canadian action covers approximately 6,721 Land Cruiser vehicles from the same 2024–2027 model-year range. Toyota said known owners of affected Canadian vehicles would be notified by mid-December 2026 and asked to return their vehicles to a dealer.
Toyota also advised Canadian customers to check recall status using their vehicle identification number. A model year alone does not establish whether an individual vehicle is included, and the company cautioned that recall information can change after the filing date.
Conclusion
The recall addresses a specific fuel connection hazard through free dealer repairs. The next stated milestone is notification of affected Canadian owners by mid-December 2026; that timetable should not be treated as a US notification deadline.
