Toyota recalls Land Cruiser Amazon models

Toyota is recalling Land Cruiser Amazon models over a steering fault. The recall notice affects models built between July 2002 and September 2006 of which there are thought to be 386 in the UK.

Toyota said there had been only two reported incidents in Europe and neither had resulted in an accident.

The possible problem with the steering has also led to the recall of a sister model – the LX 479 – which is not sold in the UK.

Toyota said it is also recalling the Toyota Avalon over another problem unrelated to the Land Cruiser Amazon difficulties.

The Avalon is not sold in the UK either and the recall mainly affects North America.
