ENGINE FAILURE! Tundra Recall This Could Be a Mess (2022 - 23)

Toyota issued a Safety Recall for almost 100,000 2022 and 2023 Tundra's. Watch this video to get all the facts... this could get a little complicated for Tundra Owners. Let's hope Toyota has a really good plan... so far the Remedy for this recall is still Pending.

The big question is can Toyota get to the bottom of the Tundra Engine failures we have been seeing across the web.

Years ago scotty kilmer warned that replacing the v8 with this turbo six would be a huge mistake. Looks like he was right again.

True story: I was Toyota Journeymen Expert Technician ( I graduated from the Toyota T-ten technical program in auto service) in Minneapolis from 2004-2009 at a large volume dealership (Walser Toyota) . During my time there they had a crew of 3 master techs that would replace about 2-3 frames a day with a large back log, this is all they did while I worked there during this time. Toyota also only covered the frame any component attached to the frame was on the owners dime so a "free" frame if you met the right dates could still cost you 2k out of pocket. Also the frame recall happened only after Toyota was sued it was not in good faith like many ppl seem to believe.

only way to fix it is to replace it with a 5.7L

Don't praise toyota too much for doing recalls. Every time i got a recall for my tacoma it was because of a class action lawsuit filed by someone....
The notion that toyota just automatically does the right thing is not entirely correct.

put the V8 back. nobody wants these turbo hybrid crap

[prtube]

No one will want a 22, 23 or 24 Tundra, at least most of us that are in the know. What a mess, I see the old 4runners, tacomas and tundras go up in price.

Replace it with the 5.7 would be a nice result

Had multiple issues with my '23 Tundra but specifically engine stall or dead throttle was a safety concern. I kept taking it in multiple times and all they would tell me was that unless I can replicate the issue right at the dealership they would not do anything about it. Opened case with Toyota USA and they told me that legally they are not obligated to repair anything unless I can replicate the issue right infront of their tech. This dead throttle issue was random, and sometimes would happen while I'm pulling out of a subdivision onto a busy road....to me that's a safety concern and I would not compromise my family in it. Swapped it for a '23 GMC Sierra 3.0 Duramax and could not be happier.

If you are affected by this, Hang in there... and if you get any updates or have actually had an engine failure feel free to comment anything that could help each other out. I love my Toyota but they aren't perfect... but the community can maybe make it a little better.

I’ve been posting for almost a year to stay away from the new Tundra. My 2022 blew at 28, 000 miles. Toyota was aware of this since mid 2022 and has been covering up the main bearing issue. Toyota will not replace the engine with a long block they provide the dealers with short blocks to rebuild, crazy. The cost of my rebuild was $32, 000. Needless to say, I started the Lemon Law claim the same week it blew up. Six months later I received my buyback check. Stay far far away from the new Tundra!

Once all the factory settings and connections are taken apart it will never be the same.

A new engine for the new Tundra is about $35, 000 vs about $8000 for the 5.7. Can you imagine paying that out of warranty. Obscene. I own from new a 2007 Crewmax 5.7. Toyota has lost me. Also time to dismantle the EPA.

I bought the last year for the 5.7 V8 and glad I did. I saw this coming a mile away.

I bet they’re gonna do what should be done to every new vehicle, drain the oil and check for debris! A first oil change at 10k miles is just a disaster waiting to happen

[CalAdkins]

This is why an early oil change less than 1000 miles is always good idea on a new vehicle. If your worried about the condition of your engine have an oil analysis done by Blackstone and see exactly how much wear metal is in the oil.

Remedy: make them in Japan, at least you would have workers who take pride in their work….not slobs that are overweight, overpaid, and who don’t care about their job

If I was one of those owners, I'd probably get the entire outside washed and dried pristinely, and slowly video record the entire exterior of the truck, along with documented how the fitment of the hood over is and all that kind of stuff. Those Techs are not going to be careful with these trucks while doing the recall work, and a lot of those finishes are going to get maimed and marred in the process.

Toyota didn't necessarily step up "on their own behalf" as you give them credit for. because the engine could fail at speed, it's considered a safety issue, thus the NHTSA either requires (or at least pressures) the recall for legal/liability reasons

[paulsumpter]

They should of just put the 10 speed transmission behind the 5.7.

[barrymantei]

Don't assume that everyone is getting a new engine it may be a "patch"job.
