Toyota is recalling 43,566 of its 2024 Tundra pickup trucks due to a manufacturing defect that may allow debris to contaminate the engine. This contamination can lead to main bearing failure, resulting in engine knocking, rough running, or stalling, which poses a heightened crash risk, especially at higher speeds. The recall is documented under National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) number 26V320. This action expands on previous recalls from May 2024 and November 2025, which involved similar contamination issues in certain Toyota and Lexus models. Although NHTSA has not reported any crashes or injuries linked to this defect, the potential for sudden loss of drive power is concerning. Toyota is currently developing a remedy for the issue, and affected vehicle owners are expected to receive notification letters by July 6. Once the repair solution is finalized, the fixes will be provided at no cost to the owners. For further assistance, drivers can contact Toyota customer service or check their vehicle identification number (VIN) on the NHTSA website.
