Toyota has announced a major recall for 2022-2023 Tundra and Lexus LX vehicles. This recall affects over 100,000 vehicles due to a problem with their engines. Here’s what you need to know.
The Recall Details
In May 2024, Toyota issued a recall for certain Tundra and Lexus LX600 vehicles with the twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 engine. The problem was found to be debris in the engine from the manufacturing process. This debris can cause the main bearings for the crankshaft to fail, leading to engine problems.

Engine Issues
The debris in the engine can cause serious problems. If the main bearings for the crankshaft fail, it could lead to the engine stopping while driving. This is a significant safety issue, which is why Toyota is taking action.
Toyota’s Solution
Toyota will replace the engines in all affected vehicles at no cost to the owners. This process will start by the end of July when Toyota begins notifying owners directly. Owners can also contact Toyota for more information.
