Engine failure

To you 6 cylinder tundra owners . Do not want to scare you , but ….
My 2022 Tundra Limited 4x4 in parked at dealer with looks of a ruined engine.
Beware of any knocking noise in engine .
26,000 miles , serviced at dealer at timely maintenance.
This is my 4th tundra . I hope to know the exact cause next week.
Regret buying first year regeneration.

 

There have been others. Not common, but sorry to say, you’re not the first, and may not be the last.

I hope you’re taken care of properly by your dealer and Toyota.

 

They'll get the engine issues ironed-out eventually. Hopefully they'll take care of you in the meantime with a loaner vehicle and frequent status updates. Hopefully it is not a work truck for you.

 

I’ve only heard one of these instances come back with the cause and it was a Main/Crank bearing. Please share your failure cause when you find out. Thanks

 

Bummer sorry to hear that.

 

No. It's not about those two engines, but if you've repaired a high mileage natural aspiration and turbo engines you would know why one will live longer than the other.

Good turbo engine will outlive crappy N/A engine, but 3UR is not a crappy engine.

 

Did it die while driving or did you just hear the noise and took it in? I too bought a 22 Tundra and it's only natural for me to wonder if my engine is going to blow up. I'd be curious to see what percentage of owners have had their engine blow up due to bearing failure, I'd imagine it's less than 1%.

I bought the Tundra because of Toyota's legendary reliability and I know they do their homework on new products. Like Ryan said, probably a bad batch of bearings and hopefully it's isolated to just that. I'll be bummed if mine does blow up because I've read some folks are without their truck for 3 months while it's fixed and have to fight with the dealership over a loaner vehicle, that is something that Toyota could and should do a better job of is supporting it's customers when it's a manufacturing issue.

I hope your truck isn't in the shop that long and that they set you up with a loaner vehicle.

 

I figured as much. Just like the bad batch of Waste Gate Actuators. Was less than 50 units. Sucks if you’re an unlucky one to suffer a failure but over hundreds of thousands of trucks that’s a small number. Other brands see the same thing. The WWW just spreads the word faster and farther.
