Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series recalled due to fire risk

Toyota Australia has issued a recall for 22,971 of its LandCruiser 70 Series models built between 13 June 2016 and 5 November 2018 due to an increased risk of fire. Toyota’s recall says that – due to the design of the exhaust pipe heat shield – vegetation may accumulate during off-road usage if the debris is not routinely removed. CarAdvice has contacted Toyota Australia regarding any reports of fire on Australian-delivered cars and will update this story with the response.
