Toyota recalls 43,000 vehicles because engines could become contaminated

Toyota is recalling more than 43,500 vehicles because their engines could become contaminated by debris. 

The recall affects 2024 Toyota Tundra vehicles with a V35A engine, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).  

The recall says that debris from the manufacturing process may contaminate the engine and cause a main bearing to fail, which can result in an engine stall and loss of drive power.

A fix is currently under development. Once a repair is available, repairs will be performed free of charge.

Letters will be mailed on July 6 to affected vehicle owners. 

Owners may also contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Drivers unsure if their vehicle is included in the recall can search NHTSA.gov using their vehicle identification number (VIN) or license plate numbers.
