Toyota has recalled thousands of LandCruiser 300 four-wheel drives due to a transmission fault.
More than 11,000 vehicles are affected by the issue.
Toyota said in a recall notice: 'The impacted LandCruiser 300 vehicles are equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission that uses linear solenoids to control gear shifts.
'If a solenoid fails under certain conditions, the Transmission ECT-ECU may not communicate the fault to the Engine ECU, causing the transmission to over-rev in certain gears.
'This can damage the transmission, cause a loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds, and, in some cases, may cause fluid leaks that make contact with hot exhaust components.
'These conditions may increase the risk of a collision or fire, which could also increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.'

Toyota said the fault does not trigger any warning alerts and that owners are recommended to take their affected LandCruiser to their dealership as soon as possible for rectification.
