    Landcruiser 100 series recall

    Read in the paper today and the overlander site every Landcruiser made between 1997-2005 some 137,000 cars if the figure quoted was right, recall as under heavy braking a bolt could loosen.

    Biggest recall in Australian history for Toyota

    It's great, glad I drive a Land Rover

    Yes, heard about that one.

    There's also a recall notice in New Zealand for all Hilux and Surf for 1988 to 1996 - i think it is a steering issue... (wonder why it's not here, or is it?)

    Oh what a feeling!

    I wonder how those dyed in the wool Tojo fans on the OL forum are dealing with it.

    G'day Folks

    More frightening is how many have died or been injured since 1997 because of these faults AND who now is liable if this problem was a contributing factor

    cheers

    How would you tell if a Hilux/Surf had a steering problem

    I thought it was a design feature
