Toyota owners may want to keep an ear out for any unusual knocking sounds coming from under the hood.
The automaker has recalled more than 43,000 pickup trucks after discovering that debris left behind during the manufacturing process could damage the engine and potentially cause it to stall while driving.
Which Models Are Affected?
The recall affects 43,566 model-year 2024 Toyota Tundra trucks equipped with the company’s V35A engine listed under National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall number 26V320. According to the NHTSA , manufacturing debris may contaminate the engine and cause a main bearing to fail, resulting in a loss of power and increasing the risk of a crash.
Drivers may notice warning signs before a complete failure occurs like engine knocking, rough running, difficulty starting, and engine stalling.
The latest action expands on two previous Toyota recalls issued in 2024 and 2025 involving certain Toyota Tundra and Lexus models that were affected by similar engine-related concerns.
Toyota has not yet announced a fix, saying a remedy is still under development. Owners are expected to receive notification letters beginning July 6, and repairs will be performed free of charge once a solution becomes available.
Drivers who believe their truck may be affected can check their vehicle identification number (VIN) through the NHTSA recall database or contact Toyota customer service for additional information.
