🚨Toyota Tundra engine Recall is out🚨
This recall affects only the 2022–2023 Tundra base i-FORCE engine. The i-FORCE MAX, which is a hybrid, is not affected.
Below are pictures from a failed engine. The reason behind this failure is machining debris left behind during manufacturing. This debris ends up clogging essential oil passages, starving engine components of oil and resulting in catastrophic damage. Toyota will replace these engines with a completely new engine assembly, including both turbos. As of today, 102,000 units are affected.
In recent news, Toyota has announced a recall affecting around 102,000 units of the 2022-2023 Tundra equipped with the base i-FORCE engine. The issue arises from machining debris that may have been left in the engine during manufacturing, leading to clogged oil passages. This can severely damage engine components by preventing proper oil circulation, resulting in potential engine failure. For vehicle owners, it's crucial to understand that the i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine is not affected by this recall, so only those with the standard i-FORCE engine need to be concerned. Toyota's solution includes replacing the affected engines with entirely new assemblies, which will ensure that all components, including turbos, are functioning optimally. This recall serves as an important reminder of the critical role that manufacturing quality plays in automotive safety and performance. It's advisable for owners of affected vehicles to stay tuned for communication from Toyota regarding the next steps to take, including how to schedule engine replacements. Keeping up with manufacturer notices can help prevent possible inconveniences or repairs down the line.
