Front Brake Squeal in Reverse
The most frequently reported complaint involves the front brakes squealing when the vehicle is in reverse. The brake noise is present from new and is noticeable during low-speed parking maneuvers. Over half of the NHTSA complaints for the 2024 Land Cruiser relate to brake noise.
Have the dealer inspect and replace the front brake pads with an updated formulation that includes improved anti-squeal shims. Toyota has issued a TSB with updated brake component part numbers. Brake pad bedding procedure should also be performed.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty; $200 - $400 if out of warrantyHard Transmission Downshifts
Some owners report the 8-speed automatic transmission delivers harsh downshifts, particularly during deceleration and when slowing for turns. The shift quality is abrupt and can feel like the vehicle is jerking during normal driving.
A transmission ECU software update from the dealer can improve shift calibration and smoothness. The transmission adapts to driving style over time. If harsh shifting persists, the transmission valve body may need inspection.
Est. Cost: $0 for software update under warrantyInfotainment CarPlay Connectivity Issues
The infotainment system frequently forgets or fails to connect with iPhones via wireless Apple CarPlay. CarPlay does not automatically start when entering the vehicle, requiring manual reconnection through the system menus each time.
Delete and re-pair the phone in the Bluetooth and CarPlay settings. Ensure both the phone and the vehicle's multimedia system are running the latest software. Toyota has released firmware updates that improve wireless connectivity reliability.
Est. Cost: $0 for software updatesCoolant Level Drop
Some owners report the engine coolant level dropping approximately one-quarter of the reservoir every 1,000 miles without any visible external leak. Some dealers have dismissed this as normal operation, while others have identified minor internal leaks.
Have the dealer perform a cooling system pressure test to identify the source of coolant loss. Document the coolant level at each service visit. If an internal leak is found, repair under the powertrain warranty. Regularly check and top off coolant between services.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty for leak repair; $100 for pressure testLoad Capacity Label Inaccuracy (GST Accessory Vehicles)
Certain 2024 Land Cruiser Hybrid vehicles equipped with GST (Gulf States Toyota) accessories may have load carrying capacity modification labels that display inaccurate added weight values, potentially leading to an overloaded vehicle condition.
Toyota issued a recall to replace the incorrect load capacity labels with accurate labels. Dealers install the corrected labels free of charge. Check your VIN if your vehicle was delivered with dealer-installed accessories.
