The LC300 vehicles have a 10-speed automatic transmission that uses linear solenoids to control gear shifts.
“According to the supplier, if a solenoid failure occurs under certain driving conditions, the Transmission Electronic Control Unit (T-ECU) and the Engine ECU may not detect or report the failure, resulting in the transmission over-revving in certain gears,” the NCC said in a statement.
“If certain damage occurs to the transmission housing, there is also the possibility for transmission fluid to leak from the housing.”
The NCC further stated that consumers who own the affected vehicles are urged to take their vehicles to an authorised Toyota dealership for reprogramming of the Transmission ECU, which will be carried out at no cost to the consumer.
