NCC issues safety recall for Nissan Qashqai, Toyota Land Cruiser 300 and Lexus LX600
The recalls relate to a potential fuel leak in certain Nissan models and an engine defect affecting specified Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
The National Consumer Commission (NCC) announced a safety recall for the Nissan Qashqai, Toyota Land Cruiser 300 and Lexus LX600 after being notified by their suppliers.
Nissan fuel leak
The NCC's Phetho Ntaba says the Nissan Qashqais were sold between 2021 and 2024, from 4 May 2021 to 17 September 2024.
“The 314 Nissan Qashqai units form part of the recall that was initiated by Nissan last year in October. This recall is due to a fuel leak, especially when the engine is operating or running.”
Toyota engine defect
Ntaba says the hundreds of Toyota Land Cruiser [507] and Lexus [124] vehicles were sold from 2022 to 2024, from 13 December 2022 to 7 May 2024, and exported to Botswana and Namibia.
“We understand that the issue with these vehicles is an engine problem, the V35A engine. The manufacturing firm, the NCC, [requests] that the owners submit their vehicles to any authorised dealership to have engines replaced at no cost to the consumer,” said Ntaba.
Consumers affected by the recall need to visit their nearest authorised dealership for an inspection.
