How Should Toyota Remedy The Toyota Tundra Recall? 

All I ever wanted

even the 4.6L V-*8 would be good

Temporary

Dealers won’t take any vehicle that has an active recall with no fix.

Remedy? New truck in exchange…fix the the take backs and sell them at half price or less with full disclosure.

Bro what do you expect if you bought it in the last 2 years depreciation in the first two years is the most in all vehicles across the board

That they did

Like 6th gen Camry burning oil at 60k mills class action.

You can still by the magnusson supercharger for the tundra. And Actually Magnusson just came out with there new gen for the tundra. Lol its alot of fun

Why didn't they offer a V8 option at least for the short term?

😂

Ignorance

good idea

If we are dreaming why not drop the price by $30,000?

In my country we have toyota hilux diesel. I want my 2022 tundra with diesel engine in it 👍

The transmissions are built by the same company that made the older 6 speed, Aisin. The 10 speed is way smoother than the out going model. What makes you say the transmission is "shotty"? Do you have experience with it?

More like Mt. Fuji in the middle of a single lane road. Lol!

I keep saying the auto manufactures need to stick together and stand up to the EPA.

@@rockcreekrockcreek6644 they also manufacturer a lot more trucks than Toyota… it’s all numbers Ford and Chevy can afford to take these hits. Ram obviously couldn’t anymore hence why they got rid of the hemi. No excuses just facts.

​@@rockcreekrockcreek6644 They are producing those for now but I can guarantee you that in the near future they will be forced to get rid of those by the EPA.

@@rockcreekrockcreek6644How about dodge they really killed v8 😂😂😂By 2035 cars manufacturers can’t sell new gas vehicles in California ,The government is going to force all cars manufacturers to go electric or plug in hybrid by 2035,I don’t like the idea but that’s the way the future is going to be,Just buy v8 while you can.

Wow!!!!! Thats exactly what’s needs to happen!!

So is this the carrot? No they do not lose you as a customer.

@@Lance-b2l maybe but this was 9 months before the recall. I was doing a lot of haggling and wanted 10 thousand off they agreed to 8 thousand and a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty

Same here… build date 9/23 so I’m worried.

Same here, my build date is 11/23 and I’m worried too . I really hope they give us extended warranties !

Yeah, overall quality of the new tundra is not good. Its not just about the engine failture, its the overall quality of the truck throughout.

I have a 2022 1794 iForce Max that I got in September of 2022, on the cusp of being a 2023. This was my 4th Tundra, had a 2002, 2008 and a 2015 1794 Supercharged and I do not miss my 2015,, which was a great truck but my 2022 is superior in many ways. I live in Surprise AZ and haul a UTV and trailer many times a year north to Utah and Surprise being at 1296 feet above sea level and Flagstaff being at 7000 feet it is mostly uphill for 145 miles. My 2015 pulled the trailer and UTV well but trying to maintain the speed limit of 75MPH uphill it had to get in the over 4000 RPM many times and was screaming when it did so, my 2022 does this with out having to get in the upper RPM range to do the same, mainly around 2300, much quitter and comfortable not to mention almost twice the MPG than my 2015. When I purchased my 2022 I also included an extended warrantee for around $2000.00 minding that caution on buying a new model year. The technology in my 2022 is also most welcome from my 2015, safer in many ways and features that make driving it a real pleasure. Sure they, Toyota are having issues, same as the other big three but I would rather have issues with Toyota than any of them as I feel confident Toyota will resolve this as they have in the past. The issue with metal shavings in the pan is a human issue, someone let their responsibility for inspections down.

Japan has always made great cars. Their trucks are nothing special. Seriously, they aren't. I have benzes, Beemers, all manner of domestics and Japanese.....unless you are buying a car, not a truck......there is no benefit going with Toyota or anyone else.

Still driving my 07 5.7 Tundra since new. I'll wait.

When you take off oil filter cut it open and examine for shavings.. Consider oil filter magnets.. I would also go with a very high end oil filter such as amsoil.. Dude opening my rear diff I found a lot of break in metal on the magnet.. its kind of normal for bearing to deal with this.. Document all of this with pictures and receipts... Also change oil 5000 km for now... or maybe several thousand km max.. I would go with amsoil signature series for now and keep your receipts... I would also up oil viscosity from 0w20 to 5w30..

From Toyota: “Heck no! We know how much we built it for!”

Why'd you buy it? Sounds like it was missing items important to you.

Also I just don’t think it’s “debris” in the block milling. I think it’s a tolerance issue. The debris thing is a good cop out in my opinion.

True. But like it or not this new Gen is getting more people into a Toyota truck then before

​@@stevieray1828was getting them in. After this debacle sales will plummet!

​@@stevieray1828I have a hard time believing that. Jmo.

@@stevieray1828 not really, the new Tundra has a bad rep. And even though sales may be solid, there are a lot of concerned customers out there who purchased one and are hearing about the recall and bad experiences of owners. It's going to take a lot of reliable years for the Tundra to recoup its rep after this all over. Truck owners are more fickle, serious, than regular car owners.

@@glow4417 the Internet has a lot to do with it. The reality is the failure rate is still less than 1% and Toyota had initiated a recall that will most likely cost billions of dollars, and if they fix the problem it will show everybody that they care about quality and reliability. Everybody is freaking out, they need to get educated and CHILL

Smart man

@@scottmendoza8989 Thanks Scott…….don’t know how smart, but for sure, very happy 👍

Why wouldn't you keep a new truck?

@@stevieray1828well for starters if the manufacturer doesn’t have a fix it plan for the recall issue then why would you keep it? That’s the question😒

@@mikehughes8023 he said this is why he kept his 21 Pro....I am saying why wouldn't anybody keep a new truck? Just sounds silly to always trade in for the newest model every couple years

Incorrect, the LC500 have the TT V6 since 2021

@@cloudypac , I did not realize that.

​@@cloudypacV8 in LC500, RCF, and IS500

@@kurtbeck5809 Your are correct, Im sorry @kensnyder2340 I have mixed the LC500 with LC300

Thats crap! I exect to get a least 500 thousand on all my toyotas. It's not a Dodge Chrysler product for gods sake. People buy toyotas because of their reliability.

@@unclebilly1353most new semi engines don’t make 500k without a rebuild. Especially todays trucks. Only a small percent of trucks even make 200k. Less than 3% of Toyotas on the road have over 200k..

​@@Weatherby406🤯 I guess perception is reality

@@Weatherby406 i must be one of those 3% of the toyota owners . Lucky me

Ya techs will say , can not replicate problem or issue is normal

Where is this reference to Mexico coming from? Tundras are made in the US

@@craigmoody3812 As soon as I pressed send, I knew I messed that up. I was waiting for someone to call me on it. I was thinking of the Tacos and they aren't 70k yet, but give it a year...

It’s all part of the climate change hoax. No more V8’s in a 1/2 ton trucks.

Nope.....these trucks are not snowmobiles. Multiple that price by about 10x.

@@doctordetroit4339that’s true. However, not inconceivable that Toyota would offer a substantial credit on what’s been sold, recall all unsold vehicles, and replace all of the engines and power trains. Likely will need to suspend production for a year or more in order to pull that off. A full engine replacement for current customers isn’t feasible. Who would do this work? The dealers can’t handle this.

Agreed it’s a design issue. The main bearings have too much play, and are not being properly lubricated with oil. Check out the short blocks they pulled from the affected trucks, the bearings are not only scored but they are smoked. Main bearing is black, that indicates lack of oiling.

Redesign is what will correct the issue because this is a design flaw. Unfortunately a full redesign takes way too much time and money. They'll never do it. Engine replacement is pointless. It's like swapping out a bad part for the same bad part. I've worked in the auto industry for 18 years and I can tell you they will do just enough to get out of legal/government trouble. Remember, it's not illegal too make a bad product, just a bad idea.

What about all the extras people have added to their trucks? They will never account for that.

I agree 💯

Haha when you get another 2021, and tell me you want to trade it in a few years, im not letting you 🤣

I second that plus the diff on list price.

I still don’t want it.

yes i got thetoyota extened warrenty they can pay me back I agree Idid change oil at 900 miles and 2500 just to be on safe side

Currently the government regulations don’t allow that since y’all voted blue 4 years ago.

I would think, if this were the route they went, the affected Tundras with the actual issue, full engine replacement. Everyone under the recall with no issues, extended warranty. Thoughts?

Yes until it falls apart

@@TundraDude34I don’t think the government will allow them to solve this via warranty extension since it is considered a safety issue.

I think you would have a major problem if your engine failed. I hope your truck dodges this bullet. To me, the only options would be FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT or buy back at full price paid !!

@@jasonwright3667 They already did with the rust issues on Tacoma and Tundra in the 2000s. Why would the gov't do the opposite now??? Many, many, many American autoworkers would lose their jobs.

Screw The Turbo !

You don’t turbo a naturally aspirated motor on a truck.

will the old V8 engines fit in the new body design of the 2024 Tundra? If it fits, it might be a good idea

@@seinundzeiten IDK of any serious engineering solution like that (yet). I do remember hearing the Gen 3 truck frame rails are slightly narrower than Gen 2 truck. But BMW make a small V8 that fit in the M3, and there is the Supra BMW collaboration. ... also I can't se that lexus V8 being too much larger.....Even though I suggest it and wish it could happen, Toyota will burn itself to the ground before they ever put a v8 back in the tundra. Hopefully they reign it in but it looks bad for now. I can't imagine what this will cost them, plus toyota japan just got caught forging emission data....quite the downward spiral......

If you can't get hold of Moose, give me a shout. I have a few 5.0 litre Coyote V8 F150s, with tow hooks. I can send a couple guys along your way from the job site, I'm sure they'd appreciate going for a drive. No charge for the first tow, slight reimbursement for the second tow later when Toyota's fix fails.

What would a long block do instead of a small block in current tundras?

@@fjorge4014 A short block only provides the pistons, block and rotating assembly. The rest of the engine still had metal debris circulating around. Basically its a whole new engine. And that's what people want when they just bought a new expensive truck.

No you're wrong about the LS they still have problems to this day with that motor

@@scottmendoza8989 google search shows only recall on that model year is air bags issue and a Reddit consumer reliability shows satisfied owners and if anyone is going to shit post its Reddit.

​@@scottmendoza8989let's see how Toyota handles the manufacturing issue before making judgements on the motor. The engine performance is great, and hopefully they get it right.... If they don't and we get FACTUAL information on the DESIGN failing, then that sucks. Until then, we need to look at the facts and stop listening to people pretending to know what they are talking about and people spreading misinformation based on wives tails and rumors.

@@scottmendoza8989 not sure where my previous comment went to, but as I was saying, the only recall notice on the model year of LS 500 that this engine is based on is about air bags not deploying on the passenger side. A quick Reddit search shows no engine complaints over longevity for that year either and if anyone is going to crap all over a product online it’s going to be on Reddit, plenty of trolls.

I strongly doubt they'll go back to the V8, but I wonder if this will create a significant aftermarket for a V8 swap.

TRUMP 2024 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ---------------------------FJB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 4.0 V6 is a forever engine 🙌🏼

Not disagreeing with you, but a lot of those companies promised to switch to all electric in the coming years, purchasing lithium from China. At least Toyota never went that route, and got heavily criticized for not going electric. Just saying

Well said sir

Well I sure hope you don't work in sales, because your commission would be atrocious with that sort of honesty. lol

According to one youtuber there are a few cases of hybrid engines failing

What will you swap it with? I say refund.

Problem is that it's a safety recall. They can't sit and wait.

The problem with that is this is a safety recall. They can't sit and wait for it to happen and someone gets killed.

@@donaldalderman2424 Your 100% correct. How can the government allow me to continue driving my Tundra. A potential safety hazard
