Toyota issued a recall of more than 280,000 vehicles over a power train issue it said could lead to accidents.
The 2022 to 2024 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid and Lexus LX600 and the 2023 to 2024 Sequoia Hybrid are included in the recall.
Toyota said the vehicles can unexpectedly move when in neutral and no brakes are applied. It will update transmission-control software free of charge.
The Japanese automaker plans to mail notifications to owners on April 7.
