Toyota Announces Recall of Tundra Pickups and Lexus SUVs Due to Engine Issues

Toyota has announced a recall of over 100,000 current-gen Tundra pickups and Lexus LX SUVs in North America due to potential issues with machining debris inside their engines. The recall specifically targets certain 2022-2023 Tundra and LX models equipped with the V6 twin-turbo engine, which has faced doubts about its reliability compared to the previous V8 engines. The presence of debris in the engines could result in various problems such as engine knock, rough running, starting issues, and even sudden power loss while driving at higher speeds, posing a safety risk. Toyota has identified a specific production period where machining debris of a particular size and amount may not have been properly cleared during manufacturing, leading to contamination of the engine assembly.
