DATANot crash-tested
The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser does not carry a federal crash-test rating; NHTSA has not evaluated this model year. Therefore, a definitive Safety Index cannot be computed, nor can star ratings be assigned across any category. The vehicle's federal record shows a Clean burden band for recalls and complaints, with zero recall campaigns initiated and only a single owner complaint filed with NHTSA. This limited data set, while not alarming, precludes any direct comparison in crash-safety performance to models that have undergone federal testing. The Clean band reflects only the absence of recalls and a low complaint volume, and should not be interpreted as an endorsement of crashworthiness.
The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries zero recalls, and holds a Clean recall and complaint burden band according to NHTSA federal safety data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser?
The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser lacks federal crash-test data; NHTSA has published no crash-test results for this model year. Its federal safety record is also notably narrow: zero recalls and one unverified owner complaint position it in the Clean burden band. This is the lightest category in recall and complaint data. The single complaint, filed under "Unknown Or Other," does not indicate a concentrated component risk. The absence of recall campaigns means NHTSA has not required a remedy for this specific model year. While the 2025 and 2026 Land Cruiser models have Safety Index scores of 86 and 87, respectively, these figures are for different model years and do not apply to the 2021 model.
