Toyota Recalls 280,000 Vehicles for Transmission Issue

The recall affects Tundra, Sequoia, and Lexus LX 600 models due to a risk of creeping forward in neutral.

  • Toyota is recalling about 280,000 Tundra pickups, Sequoia, and Lexus LX 600 SUVs in the U.S. due to a transmission problem that may cause the vehicles to creep forward while in neutral.
  • The recall covers vehicles from the 2022 to 2024 model years, with dealers set to update the transmission software for free.
  • Owners of the recalled vehicles will be notified by late April, but concerned owners can check their vehicle's status on Toyota's website.
  • The issue involves parts of the transmission not disengaging immediately when shifted into neutral, potentially leading to an increased risk of a crash.
  • In addition to this recall, Toyota also announced recalls for other models over software and safety issues, including problems with rearview image display and head restraints.
