This factory service and repair manual was written for the 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser as Toyota built it that year — the 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE) in Base trim — so the specifications you work to are the ones published for this vehicle, not values carried over from an adjacent model year that happens to share the nameplate.

Known issues on the 2008 Land Cruiser. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the accelerator pedal: a stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop. A second covers the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module, where over time the seat belt tension sensor wire harness may break — in the event of a crash, deactivated air bags can increase the risk of injury. A third covers the tire pressure monitoring system: failure to warn of tire deflations is a non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 and could lead to tire failure. The fourth, from Southeast Toyota, covers a labeling non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110 on tire selection and rims, under which a driver may overload a vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 11 complaints for the 2008 Land Cruiser, and Toyota has issued 95 technical service bulletins for it.
Whether you are chasing a throttle or accelerator pedal complaint, testing a TPMS sensor that will not report, or working through scheduled maintenance on the 5.7L V8, the procedures and figures are the ones Toyota specified for this 2008 Land Cruiser.
