Toyota to Replace Every Single Engine in 100,000 Tundra Pickups and Lexus SUVs

There are safety recalls, and then there are really time-consuming, expensive safety recalls. Toyota is experiencing the latter, having discovered earlier this year a defect in its twin-turbocharged V-6 truck engines that power the Tundra pickup truck as well as Lexus's LX luxury SUVs—at least, those 2022 to 2023 model-year variants built between November 2021 and February 2023 (or the same model years built between July 2021 and November 2022 for the LX). The issue can cause the engine stall unexpectedly; per Toyota's NHTSA recall notices to dealers:


The company began investigating the issue back in March 2022, following a report of a customer vehicle stalling; it determined the main bearings had seized. More similar reports began flowing in, and Toyota kept working to determine the cause through 2023 (and yet more reports of damaged engines), eventually determining errant machining debris was the cause (after noting issues with even "good" engines Toyota had "recovered from the field") and initiating a voluntary recall campaign following a total of 166 Toyota Field Technical Reports highlighting the issue and 824 warranty claims on engines.

Why does your title include '24 MY? You got some secret squirrel inside Information or something?

 

Omg

 

OP chose drama today

 

The vehicles involved are 2022 and 2023 model year Toyota Tundras and Lexus LX 600s. Only regular gasoline-powered versions, not hybrids, are involved in this recall, according to Toyota. (The Tundra is available in both gas-only and “iForce Max” hybrid versions.)

to answer the Q

" Because I CAN ! ! ''​

 

My '23 Tundra has experienced a type of stall 3 or 4 times. Every time, it happens the exact same way. I'm stopped at a red light or stop sign, light changes, I begin to go and after about 20-30' the truck just... stops moving forward, leaving me now blocking the intersection or road I was attempting to enter or cross. It usually happens for a full 2 to 3 seconds, which feels like an eternity when there's a line of people behind me, all accelerating and wondering what the hell I'm doing. The truck does not shut off during my stall though. The gas pedal does nothing during the stall, and the truck does not rev as I press the gas. Then everything just works again and it won't happen for months. Very strange.

I'm not positive this is the issue the Tundras are dealing with but this is my 8th or 9th vehicle owned in my life and 5th truck and I've never had a vehicle do this. But it's happened maybe 4 times in 20 months so we're not talking like it's twice a day.

I'm 100% on board with Toyota taking this seriously and I hope they also give some sort of warranty on the new motor.
