Toyota is recalling 61 of its 2026 model SUVs — Toyota Grand Highlander, Grand Highlander Hybrid, Lexus TX350, and Lexus TX500h vehicles — due to a defect in the rear axle carriers.
The recall was announced on July 7 and affects specific models of Toyota and Lexus SUVs.
The problem stems from the rear axle carriers, also known as knuckles, which may not have been manufactured correctly. This defect could cause the rear knuckles to break and separate at the toe control arm mounting point, potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle stability.
The Toyota recall notice says the possible loss of stability could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Toyota to offer free inspections and repairs
Toyota plans to notify owners by mail, instructing them to bring their vehicles to a dealership for inspection and necessary repairs. The company will replace the rear axle carrier sub-assemblies if needed, ensuring the vehicles meet safety standards.
