Possible overrevs, loss of power
TMP clarified that these sport utility vehicles (SUV), which are equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission, use special linear solenoids to help shift gears.

“When this happens, the transmission may overrev in certain gears. This could lead to transmission damage and a possible loss of power while driving at higher speeds,” it added.
“In some cases, if specific parts of the transmission housing become damaged, transmission fluid may leak. Although uncommon, this could potentially result in a fire if an ignition source is present,” TMP concluded.
How to check
Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 owners can check if they are part of the recall by typing their SUV’s vehicle identification number (VIN) on the Toyota VIN checker found on the link below:
Aside from manually checking the VIN number, TMP stated that owners affected by the recall will also be notified via an “official notification” letter and be invited by an authorized dealer to reprogram the transmission ECU free of charge.
