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?

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh I do not ever have delays. I only fly out of PDX or EUG to LAS or OAK and OGG then back .. have never been delayed in the last ?30-ish? trips to vegas/disneyland/maui/cruise ship vacations.... EUG has contract tsa so we never have any TSA delays. unsure which airports have PRIVATE contract TSA that is UNAFFECTED by the deadlock that i HOPE NEVER EVER END.
Big Al from Oz gidday mites how are yall feelin today? Want to have a barbie? We are right here gettin dee fire ready
Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
