Buying a used 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls on this older Land Cruiser, both rated high: passenger airbags that may deactivate, an issue shared with the LX 570, and fuel pumps that can fail and stall the engine. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction, and both have been open long enough that many vehicles were repaired, though that is worth confirming rather than assuming. NHTSA shows only four unverified owner complaints, two of them about air bags, with one crash reported.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Run the VIN through NHTSA's lookup to confirm the fuel pump and airbag repairs were completed.
- Watch the passenger airbag status light with someone seated in that seat.
- Ask about any stalling or no-start episodes and request service records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
