A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid. Its New Car Assessment Program tests a selection of each year's vehicles and does not reach motorcycles, heavy trucks, motorhomes or most low-volume models, so an absence here says nothing about how the vehicle would perform. It is not a low score.

What owners have reported about this vehicle is below, and it is a different question: a crash test measures what happens to the people inside in a controlled impact, while a complaint records what broke during ordinary use.

SERVICE BRAKES
My 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser has developed an exceptionally loud front brake squeal, documented by Toyota on June 3, 2026. Although Toyota has issued a Technical Service Bulletin addressing this condition, no repair has been completed. The noise has progressively worsened, raising concerns about the condition and functionality of the front braking system. Additionally, several exterior components have begun melting and deforming, including the exterior mirrors, rear spoiler, and rear hatch components. This damage was documented on September 30, 2026. Several affected areas contain or surround electrical components, cameras, and sensors designed to support vehicle visibility and safety. I am

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My vehicle started when I left work and about 1/4 mile down the road every dash light came on and said Check Engine Reduced Engine power, Secondary collision Brake System malfunction, Hybrid system malfuncion, System malfunction, Drive start control malfunction. Then when I got out there was gasoline pouring from the bottom of my car running down the parking lot. It was a very dangerous situation. I was very afraid because someone in the parking lot was smoking. I called the Toyota towing service and they came and towed it to Doc's Toyota. That's where I purchased the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
One Driver + one Passenger. Pulled into parking spot very slowly. Vehicle was moving about 1 mph, ready to pull to a stop, still in Drive. Vehicle suddenly surged forward with incredible energy and noise. Vehicle sped off parking lot and ascended steep ~6-foot berm of forest soil (no boulders). Driver applied brake, but it would not work. Driver later reported many red light warning indicators on the dash. Vehicle ran over saplings and on the passenger side sideswiped tree branches and tree trunk. Vehicle stopped suddenly. Incident lasted ~2-3 seconds. Driver and passenger were shaken, but unharmed. Vehicle put into Park. All red light warnings were off. Driver and Passenger got out to

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The windshield is very steep by design and is also seemingly extremely delicate. Within 6 months I had multiple spider cracks simply from driving around town and on the highway at 55-65 mph. A few weeks ago a rock hit the windshield and spidered almost immediately. The angle and the thin glass make it dangerous. It also cost just shy of $2900 to replace at my local Toyota dealership, which I did today. There are multiple complaints online in Toyota and Reddit and other forums.

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
The driver's side exterior mirror on my 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser vibrates excessively while driving, particularly at highway speeds. The vibration causes the mirror image to become blurred, making it difficult to accurately monitor adjacent lances and surrounding traffic. It reduces rearward visibility and creates a potential safety hazard during lane changes. I reported the issue to Toyota multiple times. After repeated visits the mirror was replaced under a one-time goodwill repair. However, the replacement mirror exhibits the same excessive vibration and the problem remains unsolved. Multiple dealerships have states that this is a common characteristic and has declined further repairs.

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
