Yea just saw that!! Sucks , I had a tundra for 20 years, brakes , oil changes, rack and pinion and ball joints. It was a great truck. Just bought a new one based on the fact I am not a car guy, but who can argue with 20 years and minimal issues. So I bought a low mileage 2022 tundra. It’s a very nice truck and rides like a dream. Now this🤣. Just my luck. Any of you truck experts know how they could attempt to make this right?

One thing I'll say about Toyota in general, in my experience they'll make it right.
When they discovered there was an issue with their rings in the 05-09 camrys causing excess oil consumption, they rebuilt or replaced dozens of engines just at the small dealership I worked at, many with 200-300k miles.
They did the same with cracking dash pads in the camrys and 4runners, and melting drl lenses in the tacoma headlights.
When Toyota discovers a known issue, they try to make it right.
From things I've heard from my friends that are still at dealerships, I do think their quality control has gone downhill in the past few years. Unfortunately that seems to be the case across the board.

My 23 has a recall for weld splatter preventing nuts from tightening all the way down on axle brackets.

Being an expert in weld splatter, I know it's preventable....

I am in the same boat you are in. Got a 2022 with low miles . If what I am reading on the internet is true we have an engine full of metal shaving because of poor quality control causing main bearing to seize up . Looks like complete engine replacement time to me . We will see . I wonder where these engine are manufactured at .

That's the Tacoma recall, right?

Yeah, that's more of a welder training/ manufacturing process issue, like you alluded to.

I guess it's tough to instill the same Japanese manufacturing quality mindset when they outsourced manufacturing around the globe.

Is this the recall about fabrication debris in the exhaust headers grenading the turbine?

I'd imagine a proper fix would be removal and cleaning or replacing the headers, inspecting the turbo, and replacing if needed. No idea what Toyota will actually do, though.

They definitely have an interesting history with recalls, for such a reliable brand. They went through 3 generations of Tacomas with rusting frames, but did make it right with many owners and replaced them within 11 years of ownership.

From my understanding this latest recall is not the turbines but the engines them selves . Engine blocks where not cleaned properly of machining metal debris before assembly causing oil to push shaving into the crank bearings and causing them to seize . This may or may not be true it is coming from the internet . If this is true Toyota has a big problem replacing over 100k engines !

Yes metal shavings (machining debris). I was blown away Toyota recommends 10k miles between oil changes. Toyota fixed a few recalls on my last tundra. More of an inconvenience at most. This one though seems like a big deal.

Wonder if this is why some of the newer Tundras have been grenading at around 30k miles? Again interweb heresay. They do seem to have a lot of recalls but only because they actually admit fault and try to make it right. Unlike GM who sold 1000s of trucks that had lifter issues, engines blowing and burning crazy amounts of oil.

Love my 2015 Tundra and if I had enough disposable income I’d buy another as new as possible 5.7L Tundra and switch between the two and be good for around 600k miles.

My '19 Tundra 1794 edition has 46K mi. :)

I plan to hold onto it for a LONG time.

Question???? I have a 2024 Tundra, w/ +- 4K miles, same engine as recall, but a year later model than recall..... Did they (Toyota) find the problem before installing in 2024 models? Or is my engine subject to recall for this? Thanks!

Seems like the issue was resolved prior to 24 model year, but to verify you can contact a dealer and have them pull the VIN in TIS, it should list any applicable open recalls.

Also keep in mind that if it's not included now, that doesn't mean it won't ever be included. Sometimes they extend the recall years after getting more information.

Toyota should also notify you directly, via mail or something, if your truck is impacted.
