Toyota built the 2016 Land Cruiser in a single configuration: the naturally aspirated 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE), in Base trim. This is Toyota's own service and repair manual for that model year and that powertrain, not a generic guide stretched across several model years.

Known issues on the 2016 Land Cruiser. Two recalls stand on the federal record for this model year. NHTSA campaign 16V236000, from Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET), concerns the tires: an incorrect label may result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA campaign 18V887000, which reaches certain 2008-2019 Land Cruiser and Lexus LX 570 vehicles, concerns the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module — over time the seat belt tension sensor wire harness may break, and in the event of a crash, deactivated air bags can increase the risk of injury. Owners have submitted 7 complaints to NHTSA for the 2016 Land Cruiser, and 118 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.
Both campaigns reach only certain vehicles inside their build ranges, so a VIN lookup with Toyota or NHTSA is the first step before either repair is booked. The 7 complaints and 118 bulletins on record for this year read the same way — as a map of what tends to go wrong on this truck, not of what always will.
