200 SERIES CRUISER RECALL

Hi all

Just recieved a bulletin from Toyota regarding a recall for all 200 series vehicles with Toyota Alloy or Steel bullbar fitted.

"On Land Cruiser 200 model vehicles where fitted with Toyota genuine bull bars, especially if they operate
for long periods in harsh usage conditions such as corrugated roads, the bull bar mounting bracket design
allows excessive load to be applied to the front frame portion that supports the bull bar. This can result in
cracking of the frame welds.
• If the vehicle with the frame cracked is continued to be driven in these conditions, in the worse case, the
crack increases, which potentially may result in the bull bar detaching from the vehicle.
Note:
This condition is purely results from inadequate bull bar mounting bracket design. Therefore only vehicles fitted
with genuine bull bars are involved (Non-genuine bull bars have independently engineered mounting brackets). "

Owners will be notified by mailout soon
