2025-2026 Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series recalled for transmission fault

A transmission solenoid fault could cause the engine to over-rev in certain gears, according to the recall notice.

Toyota Motor Company Australia has recalled 11,020 examples of its 2025 Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series, citing a potential fault with the transmission solenoid.

The affected vehicles were produced in 2025, and are expected to be a mix of 2025 and 2026 model-year vehicles.

The recall notice, lodged by Toyota Australia, says: “The impacted LandCruiser 300 vehicles are equipped with a 10‑speed automatic transmission that uses linear solenoids to control gear shifts.

“If a solenoid fails under certain conditions, the Transmission ECT-ECU may not communicate the fault to the Engine ECU, causing the transmission to over‑rev in certain gears.

“This can damage the transmission, cause a loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds, and, in some cases, may cause fluid leaks that make contact with hot exhaust components.

“These conditions may increase the risk of a collision or fire, which could also increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”

Toyota Australia advises that the fault does not show any warnings and that “owners are recommended to take their impacted LandCruiser to their dealership as soon as possible for rectification.”

“For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will reprogram the Transmission ECT-ECU software, free of charge to owners.

“Reprogramming will take approximately 30 minutes. Depending on the Dealer’s work schedule, owners may be required to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time.”

Owners can contact any Toyota dealer to verify if their vehicle is in the range involved.

BYD Dolphin electric-car arrival pushed back, due later this year alongside Seal sedan

Chinese electric-car giant BYD’s next two models for Australia – the city-sized Dolphin and larger Seal – are due closer to the end of this year than previously forecast. The Australian arrival of the BYD Dolphin electric hatchback has been delayed to the second half of this year, ahead of the BYD Seal electric sedan due before year’s end. BYD’s Australian distributor EVDirect has advised the  Dolphin  hatch is now due to open for orders in July 2023, and commence deliveries soon after – a delay compared to the first half of 2023 timing previously announced. The Tesla Model 3-sized Seal  sedan – previously confirmed for the “second half of 2023” – is now scheduled to open for orders and begin deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2023 (October to December), pending any further delays. The latest round of delays places the opening of order books nine to 12 months behind the “late 2022” timing indicated in mid-2022, at which time deliveries were scheduled to com...

Got a tiny driveway but lots of baggage? These small SUVs offer properly big boots. With driveways, garages and streets shrinking or disappearing altogether, inner-city dwellers increasingly want the maximum amount of interior space within the smallest possible footprint. The popularity of SUVs, particularly among family buyers, has meant hatchbacks have fallen out of favour as shoppers prioritise cargo space, head room, flexible seating options and improved visibility.

2024 Tesla Model Y facelift due mid next year – report

A major update for the world’s best-selling new car is around the corner, with “more obvious” exterior and interior upgrades. What the updated Model Y could look like, illustrated by Theottle. A facelift for the 2024 Tesla Model Y electric SUV may be less than nine months away – after a similar update to the related Model 3 sedan earlier this year – according to a new report. News agency Bloomberg reports Tesla has begun “preparation work” to ready its Shanghai, China factory for a “more obvious” exterior and interior update to the Model Y . Production “may start as soon as mid-2024”, according to the outlet – which could translate to Australian showroom arrivals by the end of next year, if the arrival timeline of the recent Model 3 update is a guide. It is sooner than the October 2024 estimate published in a report by news agency Reuters earlier this year.
