Tundra recall. Here's my take on it, and what we know so far.

I'll share my thoughts on the Tundra recall, and what Toyota dealers actually know regarding the repairs, or recall remedy.
These are strictly my own opinions.

    "Manufacturing debris" is a generic and useless statement. There likely is a more fundamental issue with this revised design.

    We had a rod bearing seize after rebuilding an air-cooled VW. It was like turning off the ignition, driving beautifully then nothing. An assembled engine cannot be flushed thoroughly, especially a twin turbo. The quantity and size of "debris" it takes to destroy an engine is so small. Those 5.7's are looking better and better.

    Hard to say what the actual numbers are. The recalls for the Tundra's are specifically the turbo non--hybrid variants. However, if you look at some videos here on youtube, and some in-depth analysis of the situation, it appears Toyota messed up what is called a "bridge bearing". There are other names for it, but it's a design that is supposed to be a "stronger" newer design for the bearing structure. And logically it looks like a good idea on the surface of it, but in practice there seems to be issues with the design. The same design in featured in a Lexus GX, hence the fact they've had problems as well. And in videos online, evidence shows motors with these bearings failing in both the Tundra and the GX -- and this is first hand knowledge of people who have seen the damage in both models at a Toyota repair shop. And this is why a lot of people don't trust Toyota's explaination of what's going on. It seems to be a serious engineering issue, that can destroy the engine's short block at any mileage. So my 2 cents, I think this issue is not going away until Toyota redesigns these engines and does a refresh or entirely new generation of trucks. Toyota is just like other companies out there, they make mistakes. But this mistake may last longer than the usual couple of years, that customers are used to seeing in the past. I encourage people concerned about this issue to watch this video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4yYw8WclrDenpc.html , this person is very well repected in the Toyota community.

My trust and confidence in Toyota is gone. In addition to this recall Japans transport ministry raided the head quarters of Toyota Tuesday as a scandal over claims of manipulated safety data. Their response to all of this (for me) will decide if I leave the brand and never come back after being a loyal customer for 40 years.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback. As a 2022 Toyota owner myself, here is my point of view. 1. The typical customer isn’t going to care or show any mercy on Toyota for parts outsourced. If they bought a Toyota they expect the parts to already have been through QA. 2. For vehicles involved in this particular recall, it should be up to Toyota to provide an extended warranty free of charge without the customer having to dig even farther in their pockets after already losing trust in their vehicle and honestly the brand. Just how I am currently feeling as I have spent a lot of time going back and forth to the dealership already getting recall work performed and am now dealing with this from a brand known for reliability and a truck that costs 60,000 plus. Thanks again, I enjoy your videos.

    You're correct from what I've read and seen. Certainly if the process is exactly the same at the two plants that produce the motors then it's plausible that debris could be in motors from both plants. But, there's information out there that says hybrids are included plus some '24 models. You 'd think no '24s would have this problem if the process was corrected. Another video suggests that it's really a bad main bearing design and that the machining debris is a ruse to divert attention from the real cause. There's still more to be learned about this whole big problem.

    Hi Rodney. Thanks for this. There is alot of uncertainty around this issue and folks want answers. I've read that this issue may be deeper than metal filing debris and that if this was the case, these bearing failures would be more random than they are (i.e., not just affecting the main bearing). Folks are speculating that this is a design issue with the block and that as designed, it lacks the structural integrity to handle normal operating conditions of a turbo V6, putting stress on this bearing. I don't know, I'm not an engineer. I know that you are being as forthcoming as you can about it and I appreciate it but I just wish that Toyota would be forthcoming about it. If the "fix" is a short block replacement (presumably with the same block) what good will it do? If the block is indeed compromised, shouldn't they be offing crate engine replacements? This whole thing is sad because I've relied on Toyotas for 30 years. I hope they do the right thing.

    My theory is that it has to do with the cast iron bearing caps embedded in the aluminum ladder frame or the new non resin coated metallic bearings themselves. My theory is that the differential expansion of aluminum vs iron is causing the bearing caps to "move" out of tolerance. It starts with just a little play, but that increases over time (just like a small leak always increases over time). Solution: maybe go back to resin coating on main bearings? Maybe lose the cast iron caps - stick with 1 material with 1 thermal expansion rate? I think this recall will grow. The recall is an effort to prevent rhese vehicle from losing tremendous resale value once warranty period expires and to address NHTSA concerns Thoughts?

    Debris in the engine block. That’s why those main bearings are toast. Some engines fail with 100 miles on them, some fail with 5,000 miles. Yes, “only” 1% have failed so far. Some haven’t failed yet. But with debris in the engine block rest assured these engines will fail at some point. This is unreal how Toyota allowed this to happen. Debris in the block, there is no fix for that. I would accept nothing but a new engine. Otherwise I’d sell it. Chances are Toyota will try to flush the engines, do an oil change and call them okay.

  • @karlschauff7989

    Rodney, the reason the hybrid version wasn't recalled is because this is a "safety" recall. Toyota says that if the hybrid version of the engine fails, the electric motor can power the truck until it's safe to pull over, so there is no safety issue in their mind and thus no recall. They're recalling the non-hybrid version of the engine because the truck loses power while potentially moving at fast highway speeds, creating a safety hazard. Toyota also decided to exclude 2024 Tundra's despite the fact that there have been plenty of 2024 Tundra owners that have reported the exact same bearing failure. This recall is a joke.

    Yes I read about the Hybrid models, and their reasoning for not including them in the recall. There’s a lot of things that just adding up. First it was debris left in the motors, then it was bearing having different torque settings, or pressure I think they said, and then it was only trucks built in a specific time period. As a salesperson at a Toyota dealership, I hope they will come up with a solution that restores the consumers faith in the product.

    The real issue is not a debris problem it is low quality bearings installed with a low flow oil design around the bearings, with the engine so small with additional turbo the engine is getting too much stress and the bearings are the one that do all the heavy load so there that is the real problems. If you already have Tundra don’t accelerate quick, don’t do heavy load and change your oil every 2500 miles.

    Fact 1: The V35A engine in the tundra is a first run from the Alabama plant. The unit put in the Lexus models was made in Japan. Fact 2: The V35A in the Lexus requires 91+ octane. Toyota says you can use 87, bad Idea on a high performance twin turbo motor. Same for the new Tacoma; if you care about longevity you'll run 91+ octane. I had a 22 Tundra, did an oil analysis after I noticed an odd oil color and coolant leak on the turbo and engine loops. Yep, antifreeze in the oil. Extended warranty isn't a solution. The solution is just don't buy the impacted model years. Do what I did and dump my truck.

    Anyone who promotes a new short block as a fix for this is ignoring the fact that the oil that carried the machining debris went throughout the engine including the heads where the camshafts are. Those heads should not be reused IF the problem is indeed machining debris. One theory that is being suggested by another youtube video is that machining debris is a smoke screen for a poor main bearing design. This would explain why cylinder heads are being reused since they are unaffected by a bad main bearing design. Yes, I know a fix hasn't been fully devised by Toyota yet, but this theory of a bad design may get legs. We'll have to see. BTW, Toyota does not equip their motors with aluminum magnets so until they do the machining debris will have to be drained out with the oil.
