Today I took my vehicle to the tire shop for a tire rotation. I was advised that at least three of my cooper discoverer ht plus (285/60/18 manufacture date 3/18) have been partially been separated from the core wire. All three wheels appear to be almost wavy. I have not felt any shaking but I was told by the tire technician that the process is at the beginning stages of separation and that it will get worse.

In July 2012, Toyota filed a defect report to recall certain model year 2010 Lexus RX350 and RX450h vehicles. In November 2012, Toyota informed the agency that it was including an additional 10,565 vehicles including certain model year 2008 through 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles.

Recall number 12V305000 · Recall details
Tires: pressure monitoring and regulating systems
- What is wrong
- Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2011 fj cruiser, land cruiser, tacoma, sequoia and tundra vehicles for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 138, "tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)." when factory-installed wheels and tires were replaced with toyota authorized accessory wheels and lt tires prior to first sale, the tire pressure monitoring systems were not re-calibrated correctly and therefore do not start illuminating the low tire pressure warning telltale at the required minimum activation pressure.
- Risk
- Failure to warn of tire deflations is a non-compliance with fmvss 138 and could lead to tire failure increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- For the land cruiser, sequoia, tacoma and tundra vehicles, the dealer will re-calibrate the tire pressure monitoring system on affected vehicles and install an updated tire and loading information label at no charge. For the fj cruiser vehicles, the TPMS cannot be reset so the electronic control unit (ecu) for the TPMS will be replaced. Toyota is currently developing the remedy ecu.

What 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My vehicle currently has cooper discoverer ht plus in 285/60/18 with manufacturer date of 3/18. I took my vehicle in for a rotation of tires and I was advised by the staff that my tires have separated partially and are in the process of separating from the belt system on at least two wheels. All of my tires are from the same batch and installed on all four corners. I attempted to contact the manufacturer but I have been on the hold for the past two hours.
I opened the hood to check engine oil, and saw hot coolant sprayed all over under hood. Coolant level was very low. Upon closer examination, there's a crack in the top plastic of the radiator from which coolant was spraying out before I turned the engine off. This is a safety issue both due to the potential of burns/scalding, but also engine damage and fires while traveling due to low coolant. Further research revealed this is a very common problem at 6-8 years of age and around 100,000 miles. I can't upload a photo since I've had it cleaned and repaired to make it drivable (at my expense).
