Toyota Land Cruiser

Issue: 
Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image to freeze or not to display. If this happens, the rearview image may not display when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing. 
Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a panoramic view monitor system. 

Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that doesn't display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the parking assist ECU software.

Safety Risk: 
Engine block heater wiring that overheats or melts could create the risk of a fire. 

Corrective Actions: 
Toyota recommends that you should stop using the engine block heater immediately. Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to disable the engine block heater. For some vehicles, the corrective actions for this recall are under development. For others, a new engine block heater cannot be installed, and the owner will receive a refund of the purchase price of the engine block heater.

Continuous driving of gasoline vehicles under conditions of high ambient temperatures and heavy load, can create high pressure in the fuel tank. This could eventually cause a crack and possibly result in fuel leakage. Correction: fuel tank will be replaced with an improved version.

THE REAR SEAT LAP BELT MAY NOT RETURN TO THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION AFTER USE. CONSEQUENTLY, THE BELT MAY NOT BE RELEASED DUE TO THE LOCKING CHARACTERISTICES OF THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR MECHANISM AND SUBSEQUENT REAR SEAT PASSENGERS MIGHT BE UNABLE TO PROPERLY USE THEIR SEAT BELT.  CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A BELT GUIDE OR SHEATH, DESIGNED TO DECREASE RETRACTING RESISTANCE AND TO ALLOW FREE BELT MOVEMENT BY MAINTAINING AN OPENING BETWEEN THE SEAT BACK AND SEAT CUSHION.

WHEN VEHICLE IS CONTINUALLY DRIVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS OVER ROUGH ROADS, THE THREADED SECTION OF THE TIE ROD END COULD CRACK AND EVENTUALLY FRACTURE.
