Audited US model-year file
1988 TOYOTA Land Cruiser

Complaints across nearby Toyota Land Cruiser model years
Totals for the same nameplate, scaled against its highest year here. They are not adjusted for how many were sold, how old they are, how far they are driven, or how much publicity a fault received — an older or better-selling year will usually carry more reports. This shows where the reporting sits, not which year is better.
A dash means NHTSA holds no complaint record for that exact year, make and model. See all Land Cruiser years with specs and fuel economy →
03 · Agency review
2 NHTSA ODI investigations
An investigation means ODI reviewed a possible safety issue for this exact model-year identity. Opening one is not a defect finding; closing one does not by itself clear a vehicle.
