22-23 Toyota Tundra Engine Recall ( A TIP FOR OWNERS! ) 

Are you buying that it's metal shavings, debris causing the problem? I

@@joeb2588 it's possible from the information I have learned. Total engine failure cases are under 900 . There are more the 250k units sold from 2022 to 2024. IMO if it was a design flaw we would have seen more failures..

@@rottenrottie1515I bet those 900 are the 10k mile oil change crowd and no break in oil changes at 500 or at least 1000 miles. 😂😂😂

@@rottenrottie1515 So you mean to tell me that engines manufactured from different plants ranging from Lexus to Toyota worldwide are accidentally lodging debris in the engine? I dont buy it.

@@AntilleanConfederation This is debunked. There are crowdsource spread sheets of truck owners who not only changed their oil at 5k miles but only used the truck for commuting and groceries. Still there were catastrophic failures you corporate shill.

Pretty sure they won’t worry about losing one customer

@@fixedit8689 I’m pretty sure I’m not worried about your opinion

Japanese investor in Toyota will take this seriously and are probly losing their shit over this engine. As I say that they will find a fixed and make everyone happy..

As a toyota owner, We must demand a new engine and extended warranty of 120k miles, otherwise these greedy execs will slap a band aid on the issue. A short block will not deal with debris that may be lodged in nooks and crannys of the engine. Ask any engineer not on the dime of Toyota. Whats to say that at 100k miles or 150k miles the debris doesnt cause catastrophic failure? Ford and Chevy plopped new engines for their customers with similar issues. Toyota can do the same and must do it.

@@BorderTurrets time will tell what happens.

I hope so too. I would much rather put a long block in than to install a short block. And Lol, they are not doing that to Alabama.

Or give a new engine like other manufacturers who gave a customer bad engines?

So are you are saying you don't want a rebuilt engine in your car but it's fine for someone else?

@@speed8701 Yes, let it be someone else’s problem who chooses to buy that junk. Lemon law would be ideal but these grubby manufacturers will rush repairs. Why should a customer spend 50-80k on a new truck that has a bad engine from day 1? At least on the used market a potential buy can now run the VIN through NHTSA for recalls. The customer who bought new was screwed over.

@@speed8701 So are you saying a customer should be stuck with a timebomb of an engine? Atleast in the used market the customer now has a VIN to run through NHTSA for recalls to make an informed decision. New buyers get screwed over because there was no recall at the time of purchase for this garbage engine. You sound like a dealer.

It's true. They have certification requirements for each recall they issue.

Anything short of a new engine is a band aid for this issue. Come on, you know damn well that the metal debris can hide in nooks and cranny's of the engine. Other manufacturers ponied up and gave the customer new engines when there were similar failures. The block may be a band aid but are you willing to put your career on the line and wager this wont be an issues at 100-150k miles?

Did you really think he would tell you other wise?

there not gonna tell u the truth... the janitor is gonna help rebuild it if he s not busy... fuck that... you cant trust anyone

I can assure you, it will be a shit job. I’m retired 40+ years, and because of flat rate you will get less than what you deserve. certified or not a technician building an engine in a bay, is not the same as the engine assembly plant, without the metal debris. That’s just negligence on Toyota’s part.

When that shows up on your Carfax, you’ll lose thousands on that trade-in either at a dealer or private sale. Cell that thing soon as you get it back. Carfax is always delayed. No one will know.

Crate engine will still have the inherent design flaw. It's not a 'machining debris' issue.

@@yukonstriker1703 There is no design flaw. What are you talking about? Stop listening to RU-vidrs that's have no idea what they're talking about. All they do is talk without knowing anything about anything and here we are.

@@alvarolopez630 lol. Wait for it. It's not a machining issue. I work for Toyota 👍

@@yukonstriker1703 the machining issue BS is a false Toyota is lying to protect their ‘reliability’ reputation that’s all they got

In the states, car dealerships are some of the most corrupt businesses we have. The majority of dealerships will commit fraud against both Toyota and the customers at every opportunity. There are limits to how well Toyota can control quality in a corrupt dealership.

Will do my man, thank you for your kind words.

You are looking for confirmation bias. My friend, we spent 50-80k on these cars expecting a bullet proof power train. Some of us paid markups and its time we demand better from Toyota.

@@BorderTurrets sir, I agree with yur comment too. It’s a lot of money, specially in the new models and we expect a product that matches that kind of money. I’m not biased but what he said in the video is true too. In the past Toyota had the accelerator pedal issue that affected various models, specifically the Camry 2007-2011… Big recall in Toyota’s history… it was around 8M vehicles, if I remember correctly, and it was because an issue with the supplier parts for the US market… At that time, I had a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid, made in Japan and my car wasn’t in that recall because the supplier for the Japan models was different.. But they decided to include all the Camry’s and that was the recall reached 8M. And they improved and fixed the issue. But as you stated, they have to improve and due the right R&D and testing before launch a new product. Thank you sir! Have a blessed day!

@@raycordero01 We are talking about an engine here not a gas pedal lol. My challenge to the RU-vid toyota techs saying its fine is simple. Would you bet your house or life savings that atleast 85% of these shortblock installs are done properly without issue? None of these techs would ever bet that because they know that these are just titles. Some master techs are just "master" level on paper but hands on they are terrible.

@@BorderTurrets yeah. I used the example of the pedal in terms of how that had handled issues before. But I know, it’s the engine. The main component… Regarding, the techs, it happened too as you stated. I had saw that and not only with Toyota. So I totally agree with you sir. Having said that, that wasn’t my experience with the Toyota dealers that had touched my cars. At least in my case, since I coming from a family that had 3 good mechanics, the first thing that I use to do is tell the service advisor that I know what the issue is, based on my experience, and let very clearly to him that I don’t want any simple tech touch my car. Also, when they give my car, I inspect and test the car close to the dealer in case I need to return back to them again. My service advisor knows how picky I am… lol… Once they replace the oil on my Sequoia and the tech forgot to put the screws back to the skit plate and I immediately told the service advisor. The service advisor immediately took the cat to the shop and they found the screws on the bench. In summary, I agree with you stated about some MT, that’s what I talk to the service advisor to make it clear! Good comment and have a blessed day sir.

The issue apparently affects the '24s as well.

Smart move getting the oil change at 900miles do another at 3k then at 5k yeah it’s overkill. But I did this with my 22 Tundra I’m at 25k running smoothly for now

I suggest you get oil samples every oil change

Great advice...I just did the exact thing on my new 2024 Limited at 600 miles...I even opened the filter and paper element for inspection...everything looks excellent and lab results were very good...keeping fingers crossed 🤞

I’m in a 24 also. When i hit my 10,000 change I’ll do an oil analysis. I did 5,000 for the first as well.

Thanks for watching. And that's a fact! None of us are fans of warranty work 😮‍💨

We all agree that long blocks should be the answer. Us technicians will be happy and the customer will be happy as well

Most likely a design flaw and hiding it under “debris” like “national security” when we want to ban something

Let's see how Toyota decides to handle it. Hopefully, it will be a long block. Nevertheless, Toyota will take care of their customers.

We told ya this would happen. But everyone always said. Toyota has used these engines before… or the famous … it’s a Toyota and the engineers know what they are doing..🤡

Not much we can do at this point besides trading it for something else. I heard that it's less than 1% of the engines that's failed.

Nice, you could've easily been one of the many Tundra owners involved in this safety recall. Thanks for the feedback.

Toyota does not make long blocks available to anybody. Only short blocks.

Now you get a new crate engine so the longer you wait the more miles you put on the old engine! Cool

It doesnt matter. There are Tundra owners who changed it before 5k miles and still had engine failures. Its a design flaw.

​@@BorderTurretsnot design flaw, manufacturing process issue. The metal flakes/chips are getting lodged in small oil passage ways. Oil filters normally catch them

Why do you think it's not designed for a long block?

They didn't include the Tundra Hybrid models in the recall. You may still be in good shape. Toyota customer care is way better than the brand you are considering. My first dealer job was with Cadillac (GM)

The Hybrid isn't a "safety" risk because it still has the hybrid motor and won't lose power while on the highway. There has been a few Hybrids that have eaten bearings. I'm pretty nervous.

Chevy dealers are terrible. I came from a Chevy 3.0 diesel to my tundra.

no! HOdL! hodl!

You are correct sir

wrong

Less than 1% engine failures is a bad engine design huh LOL

@@korbekleeninc.974 When a manufacturer starts a recall notice, you know it's bad. this is pretty big, recent news. There are countless examples of people's terrible experiences posted all over the internet, it's widespread, Again, they are shi**ing their pants right now. If you have one, I'd be concerned.

@@Doomzdayxx but your name is doomsday LOL

Tundra trade ins are being denied, better hurry and find a clueless dealer.

No, i wouldn't be worried. It seems like they narrowed it down to a specific date range of engines that are affected. Even within those affected date ranges, i think only a few will require an engine. Overall, Toyota will not leave you out to dry. At least they acknowledged there is an issue.

@jrdagreat do you know the specific date range? I can’t seem to find it online

You can NEVER go wrong with a 4runner, let alone a Trd pro model. The 4runners are bulletproof. I never see them in the shop for major repairs, just maintenance.

Nice. The terra color?

The bottom of the engine is not stout when compared to the ford 2.7 turbo that uses iron and has tons of bracing While the Tundra is aluminum and has a lot less bracing. When you use your EYEs..clearly the Toyota has a lot less bracing Than the ford.The Toyota bottom is under engineered and got cheap..and now owners are in trouble. Down the road out of warranty a new engine installed and it fails again some poor person is hung

@@lrcreamer Wow, what a huge misstep for Toyota.

I’m sure you will get full value for that truck on trade in.

CarCareNut suspiciously quiet on the issue lol. Im sure he's asking Toyota for talking points.

​@@BorderTurretsshill-bot sock-puppets paid by Toyota

he explained that... you got a "speedy tech" that does oil and tire rotations. Toyota reserves engine work for qualified master tecs

the engine was starved of oil.. Toyota's excuse makes the most sense here... these V35A-FTS engines came out in 2017 and there are LS500s LC300s and Tundras that already have 100k+ on them

😂 Wishful thinking

My first tech job was with Cadillac (GM). Not to make you regret your purchase, but Toyota customer service care is way better than other competitors.

If it has the 6.7 that motor throws rods. I was going to get one and the dealer had 5 or six with blown motors waiting for parts

@@pctimber Let's face the facts, all manufacturers have problems, but it is not going to change my mind in thinking I made the right move at this time, and have a much better truck in return, no more wind noise, no dash rattles, no center console rattles, no back window noise, much smoother ride, tighter turning radius, and way better looking, and on top of that it actually sounds like a truck. And not to forget I'm getting better milage, although neither one is great, but I bought the v-6 hoping for better the 14.5 that I was getting the v-8 is getting 15.

@@TheYotaChannel I have to disagree with you about Toyota Service, I drove 70 miles to cancell my service agreement only to be handed a piece of paper and told to go home and get on my computer to do it, when the clown could have taken a few minutes to turn in the cancellation, they sure took the time to cram the service contract down my throat, but can't help cancell. I'm done with Toyota.
