Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 51 investigation files overlapping the 2016 LAND CRUISER, and 1 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

I took my 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser for service at Victory Toyota of Canton Michigan on the 24th. While driving the vehicle i started to hear noise from the rear wheel and it continued to get worse. I had someone look into it and every tire on the vehicle had lug nuts loss to the point that you can move them with your hand. This really demonstrate lack concern to human safety and life. My family and I could been killed or seriously harmed from the carelessness of the dealer. This is not the first time this happened and one time we had 4 lug nuts not even put on vehicle. I need someone to address this ASAP.
ALL LAND CRUISERS COME STANDARD WITH TV SCREENS ATTACHED TO THE FRONT SEAT HEAD RESTS. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS FACIAL/HEAD INJURIES IN OUR FAMILY DUE TO THE MOUNTING POSITION. WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO GET THE MONITORS REMOVED BUT WERE TOLD THEY'D HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT. IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THE BACKSEAT PASSENGERS FACE WOULD HIT THE MONITOR. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
