The Toyota Land Cruiser is a tank, and as it turns out, tanks can have software glitches, too. Toyota has announced a recall for the Land Cruiser 300 in India over a faulty ECU software glitch.
A total of 269 SUVs are affected, manufactured between 12 February 2021 to 1 February 2023. Toyota says that the issue is with the automatic gearbox’s ECU software, however, no issues have been reported yet.
