recall alert 2022 2024 toyota lexus engines

We have a recall for some 2022-2024 Toyota and Lexus vehicles with the V35A engine.

Toyota is recalling about 126,000 vehicles from the 2022–2024 model years, including the Toyota Tundra, Lexus LX, and 2024 Lexus GX models equipped with the V35A engine. Manufacturing debris may remain inside the engine, potentially leading to main bearing failure. If that happens, the engine can stall and the vehicle can lose drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

A repair is still being developed. Toyota plans to send interim owner notifications on December 22, 2025, with a follow-up notice once a final fix is ready. All repairs will be completed at no cost. The recall expands a previous campaign (24V381). Owners can contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 for more information.

Would it be a fair statement that there's faith that Toyota will solve this problem and their company culture doesn't let problems continue to fester beyond the identification, remediation, and prevention period? I kind of feel that way.. not sure if it's exactly justifiable, but I do not carry that same faith with say... most other manufacturers.

  Considering this engine has been around since 2017, I'd say something is critically wrong probably at the design stage of this cursed engine. All fingers point to toyota not knowing wtf is wrong with this engine and is playing tag.

  ^ ANAL does get something right once in a blue moon, but seems like more of a lucky guess than anything (since sparse with any real facts/rationale).
  @Pipedown
  The problem is that Toyota is slow burning the recall, in order to not have any stop-sales.
  Hence, the 2024MY not having been recalled until now and the hybrids still not being recalled despite numerous reports of their TTV6 engines grenading as well.
  
  This way, they can keep selling to uninformed buyers (we'll likely see 2025MY being recalled next year and hybrids around that time or thereafter).
  Plus their explanation of debris contamination being the issue doesn't hold water, unless a design flaw is responsible for the debris as Japanese built models are also affected.

Wow. I was shopping one of these models just last month.

I'm very thankful to have read this column before I had pulled that trigger.

You someone please point me at the article that speaks to the problem over at GM, mentioned in passing in here?

Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
