Defect. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2024-2027 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid vehicles. The fuel tube connection near the fuel tank may disconnect and leak fuel.

Risk. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Dealers will inspect the connection and install a supplemental clamp or, as necessary, replace the resin fuel tube and install a supplemental clamp, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 29, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26TB23 and 26TA23.

While operating the sunroof normally, I heard a very loud popping sound, similar to a gunshot. There was no impact, no object hitting the vehicle, and nothing obstructing the sunroof. Immediately after the sound, the sunroof became visibly deformed and damaged. The center section appeared to pop upward and the glass/panel no longer sat in its normal position. I had to close the sunroof right away. This failure happened during normal operation and without any outside cause. I am concerned that the sunroof assembly, glass, frame, or mechanism may have a manufacturing or structural defect. A sudden sunroof failure like this could create a safety risk if the glass breaks further or separates while driving. I am requesting that this issue be documented and investigated as a possible vehicle defect.
