Toyota Replacing Faulty Tundra Engines
Toyota is taking action to address a critical issue with 2022-2023 Tundra and Lexus LX600 vehicles.
The automaker announced a recall for 102,092 vehicles due to engine debris left from the manufacturing process. This debris can cause the main bearings for the crankshaft to fail, posing significant safety risks, especially at high speeds.
Initially, Toyota had no immediate fix when the recall was issued in May, but they have now decided to replace the engines in all affected vehicles. This service will be provided at no cost to the owners. The recall includes Tundras built from November 2, 2021, to February 13, 2023, and LX600s from July 30, 2021, to November 25, 2022. Toyota will begin notifying owners by the end of July.
Toyota's decision follows 824 engine warranty claims potentially related to this issue, though no injuries have been reported. Concerned owners are advised to contact Toyota for more information.
