Tundra engine recall - interesting news

The most up to date version of that document. We are expecting Phase 4 to be released this coming week.

So should I wait on buying a new TRD Pro Tundra? Had my eyes on the new blue color TRD Pro. I was going to put a deposit down for one with my dealer but wondering if the phase 4 update will include recent or even 2026 model years.

 

Anything built December 2024 through current day should be just fine.

 

The Phases are only for those in the recall period - November 2, 2021 through February 13, 2023

 

So what got fixed after Dec 2024? Inquiring minds and all that.

 

See below.

 

Just figured this out, clearly the alternator is causing these to fail..... Therefore, Hybrid owners therefore have nothing to worry about!!!

 

So much power needed to turn that 180 amp generator.

But now that Lexus has installed it on a Hybrid (LX 700h), let's see if those start to pop.

 

I haven't seen much on the Sequoia side but I would imagine it's in the same boat?

 

MY23+ Sequoia is Hybrid only. There has been plenty of failures with them, but not in the same league as the Tundra simply because there aren't as many produced/on the road.

 

That's a shame, especially given the price. So would you recommend holding off on a new tundra/sequoia or do you think it's sorted out by now?

 

December 2024 and beyond builds should be just fine.
