Toyota and Lexus recall over 100,000 Tundra pickup trucks and LX 600 SUVs built in 2022 and 2023 over debris in the engine potentially causing it to stall.
Toyota will recall over 100,000 SUVs and pickup trucks in the U.S. over debris in the engine potentially causing it to stall. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the recall includes certain Toyota Tundra pickup trucks and Lexus LX 600 SUVs built in 2022 and 2023 and equipped with the Japanese automaker's V35A six-cylinder engine.
"The subject vehicles are equipped with a specific V35A engine that contains crankshaft main bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the engine assembly while running. During a specific production period, there is a possibility that engine machining debris of a particular size and amount may not have been cleared from the engine during manufacturing and subsequently contaminated the engine assembly during the production process.
Toyota first realized there was a problem in June, 2022, after examining two pickup trucks with seized engines. The automaker's technicians hypothesized at that point the damage was due to debris in the engine, but continued dissecting and analyzing engines through May, 2024. First, to reduce the possibility of engine contamination during manufacturing, Toyota implemented cleanliness process changes at its engine manufacturing plants.
