The recall affects a substantial number of vehicles, specifically 28,627 units of Toyota Land Cruiser models ranging from 2020 to 2024, alongside 4,723 Lexus vehicles, including the LX600 and LX500 models for the same years. The Ministry has directed owners of the affected vehicles to reach out to Abdul Latif Jameel Motors Company for Toyota and Lexus for assistance, utilizing the provided toll-free numbers to arrange for the necessary updates.
Vehicle owners are urged by the Ministry to verify their vehicle's chassis number against the list of recalled models through the Defective Products Recall Center's website. This measure is part of an effort to ensure that all impacted vehicles undergo the required updates promptly and efficiently, at no additional cost to the owners.
