Tundra engine recall - interesting news

Thanks! Thats going to be the next purchase haha.

 

just have a local body shop paint what you have, thats what I did. I had the dealer do that before purchase but didnt have to buy new parts.

not your sexy red, but blueprint

 

Might be true in the '25-up Limited, but my '24 has it as part of a package, not standard.

 

Hey now, you of all people, Blueprint is sexy too!

Good thing you kept your Platinum badging and wheels or it could be mistaken for a lowly SR5 TRD Sport.

I'm gonna have my EGR flares color matched here shortly.
(They're currently MGM.)

 

Blueprint for LYFE! OK whatever I have one and love the color/not color.

 

the sport model look was my template, lol.

just need all my 1st world gadets

ok, time to boost this MOFO to the golf course,

Ill catch ya later fellas!

 

I am from Regina Saskatchewan and just had my engine replaced on my 2022 Tundra with 51,000 KM. Dropped her off after work Wednesday and picked her up at the end of the day yesterday and drove her home and into the garage. This is a bit unsettling but Taylor Toyota has repeatedly reassured me this was needed. No one made it clear about warranty. Can someone explain what happens with warranty? Thank you

 

If replaced in warranty you get the remainder of the powertrain warranty. If replaced out of warranty you get the standard 12k miles repair warranty.

After that you are insuring motor 2 does not have the same failure defect as engine 1.

It's called Toyota free " screw the customer we don't care about you" plan

 

Thanks!. I would be interested in knowing if others are having collateral issues with their vehicles. When you have to pull an engine out and out a new one in there has to be some increased risk that something else will fail. I guess time will tell.

 

Everyone is hoping the issue was manufacturing debris and not a design defect. Nobody but Toyota really knows. And hope is not a plan.

As 24s and 25s and eventually replacements start accumulated significant miles it will become apparent

 

I agree that there would be information not being shared with public as to what really happened but if what you're suggesting is true, those that have 2022 engines not in the recall could be at greater risk.

 

You can report your experience to this thread, and check out what others have experienced:

A recent poster has roughly 5K miles on his new engine with no issues.
Granted, these are still short term reports, and yes, ultimately time will tell.

 

All 2022 and some 2023's are included in the recall

 

Not hybrids

 

Engine is in. It was less than a day. Dropped it at 7.30 and had a call it was done at 3 pm. They drove it 10 miles, per the odometer. Process was seamless. Truck/engine feels exactly the same. Here's to getting 100K out of it, should be no problem.

 

That's crazy fast

 

Yes it is. They have a team of 2 guys doing these. Said they do 2 a week. I guess they raise the Cab and pull motor. would have like to have had pics.

 

Definitely a lot easier when one guy is holding up the cab

 

They can replace a whole engine in 7.5hrs, yet charge us 5hrs of labor on a spark plug replacement job!


Go figure...

 

Had my spark plugs replaced in Canada and was told it’s 0.9 hrs on their rates table but think I got charged for something like 1.2. You’re getting fleeced.

 

Well, not me as I do my own, but someone else in a different thread said his dealership wanted 5hrs to do the plugs.

Anyway,
1 work day's gotta be a record for the long block job, ain't it?

 

Not to be the pessimist, but are you sure it's not the same engine? <Sound of hood raising, slamming a few seconds later. "Good job team!" heard after a few moments>.

 

That was my thought after pretty much everyone else mentions a definite difference in feel to the new motor.

 

I realize you are joking (mostly) but if I ever get in a recall spot I'd planned to take a sharpie and make a few marks here and there on the motor/turbos/whatever.

 

Question

Does anyone know when Toyota is rolling out phase 4 on the engine recall?

 

Toyota probably knows.

JDAZ
They expanded it to 7 phases. We’re in phase 3 now. Looking back they were issuing them monthly until this month.

 

This is OBE. As noted more phases now and time windows for the last several are TBD.
