Tundra engine recall - interesting news

Are these motors going down for other reasons than the main bearings? I know there were some normal type hiccups with the turbos early on, but I haven’t heard any chatter about that in a couple of years.

 

The Engine Assembly to Remedy the Recall is not to be used for any vehicle outside the recall. They are able to converse with Toyota Corporate and potentially get a Partial Engine Assembly aka Long Block, but the Engine Assembly is 100% for the recalled vehicles.

 

Yes. Rod bearings as well. The debris issue can cause oil starvation on anything at the crank.

Valve guides are a somewhat major issue on some 2024 builds as well. Those don't fail, but do require new cylinder heads.

 

I’m never visiting this thread again. Too depressing.

I mean, I’ll be back if I have a bad engine I guess…

 

This has to be one of the highest mileage when an engine has spun?

 

Hey all my truck was built in sep of 23. Had a failure last week at 18k on the clock. No warning just happend while going 70 plus. Luckily I was able to limp over.

Anyway dealer said I’ll be getting a crate engine and that they didn’t even tear them down at my dealership. I’m from AL. Engines are made at plant about an hour from me.

 

This happened to me on my 2023 and is why I traded in for a F-150. As you can see from my post history, I am not enjoying the F-150 all that much after a year of ownership. I just put down a deposit for a 2025.

Its great seeing another Tundra guy from Huntsville. I really wish we would come together and form a Tundra club here. Plenty of people that would join.

 

I live in irondale which it about an hour from Huntsville. I could never lol. Ive been a Toyota guy my whole life. I refuse to drive anything else lol.

 

That guy's a glutton for punishment.

 

So says one who surely appears to be envious of 3rd gen Tundra superiority. This issue will come to an end. We all own Toyota for their ability to make an amazing truck and know they stand by their products. If this helps you feel better to bash someone for continuing their appreciation of these trucks, so be it.

It is certainly one of the highest, if not the highest known.

 

only had a little debris, so it made it longer

 

if my shit blew up, I'd probably do the same, just trade it right there and walk away.

hopefully I don't have to find out

 

Getting a good chuckle in the morning makes me feel better. Thanks for that Mike

 

Im sure your grandpa said the same thing about your truck. Its just how we view new things. The issues will finally be fixed and Toyota will be right back on top as the most reliable.
