Toyota has announced another recall for its twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6, found in vehicles like the Tundra. The recall covers certain 2024 model year Tundra trucks. According to the brand's filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there may be debris in the engines that could cause engine failures.There is a possibility that certain machining debris may not have been cleared from the engine when it was produced," said the automaker in its recall filings. Toyota has previously recalled the V6 engine on two previous occasions. In May 2024, Toyota issued a recall for the 2022-2023 Tundra and Lexus LX, covering 102,000 units. The same problem led to Toyota replacing engines. In November 2025, the same issue cropped up. This time, the recall expanded to include 2022-2024 Toyota Tundras and Lexus LXs, as well as 2024 Lexus GX SUVs.Photo by photosvit on Getty ImagesInside the engines, the crankshaft main bearing allows the engine’s crank to rotate during operation. However, in production, “during a specific period,” there was a possibility that engine machining debris could have entered the then-unfinished engines. Any debris inside an engine can be catastrophic, causing premature wear and even engine failures. For the recalled vehicles, the pressure on the main bearings is such that, if the machining debris adheres to the bearings and the operation of the engine continues at higher loads, for example, while accelerating hard or towing, these crankshaft bearings can fail.AdvertisementAdvertisementToyota says that "engines involved in this new recall were produced using additional controls for removing manufacturing debris. We have found that, even after these additional controls, the remaining debris could be sufficient to cause damage to the #1 main bearing and lead to this issue. Engines produced after those included in this recall were manufactured with an improved #1 main bearing to help resist certain debris that might remain." Once Toyota finalizes the details on repairs, it will begin contacting owners.This story was originally published by Men's Journal on May 23, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
