Toyota Recalls Certain Toyota Tundra and Lexus GX and LX Vehicles​

November 06, 2025

PLANO, Texas (Nov. 6, 2025) — Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain model year 2022-2024 Toyota Tundra, 2022-2024 Lexus LX, and 2024 Lexus GX vehicles in North America. Approximately 127,000 Toyota- and Lexus-branded vehicles (conventional gas models only) are involved in this recall in the U.S.

There is a possibility that certain machining debris may not have been cleared from the engine when it was produced. In the involved vehicles, this can lead to potential engine knocking, engine rough running, engine no start, and/or a loss of motive power. A loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds can increase the risk of a crash.

Toyota is currently developing the remedy for this issue.

Customers will be notified about this issue by early January 2026.

Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is current as of today’s filing date and is subject to change thereafter. To see if your vehicle is involved in a safety recall visit Toyota.com/recall, Lexus.com/recall, or nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate information.

For any additional questions, Toyota customer support is also available by calling the Toyota Brand Engagement Center (1-800-331-4331) for Toyota vehicles, or the Lexus Guest Experience Center at 1-800-255-3987 for Lexus vehicles.

Same reasoning given as the 24TA07 Engine Recall.

Machining debris was not cleared properly.

Any word on remedies? Long block replacement? Heavier engine oil?

Interesting the dates are up to the first recall only. I guess they're insisting that they've solved the problem since announcing the recall, despite word on the internet.

They solved nothing. All that is in process and should be done in the spring.

Is this the same one that came out last year for the same Vin ranges? Mine wasn’t on the first one, don’t know why it would be on the second unless they are expanding it??
 
My 26 OT is due end of this month. If it ends up also f ed I will have only myself to blame. Eyes wide open people
 
Sigh..vin doesn't show up yet....cut my losses short and sell it back. I don't want open heart surgery on a 120k vehicle driven for 10k miles

Yours is coming as a 26? Nice. Since the first ones these recalls are not affecting the hybrids, just conventional ICE V6s.

Sadly the hybrid is just as cooked as the non hybrid BUT if it blows up you have some power w the battery and power for steering. So you *should* live if it blows up on the freeway. Toyota states it in the current press release.

When mine comes in I’m going to check the engine serial number before i actually buy it. I’m will to risk it only if the engine is mid 2025 manufacture.

This isn’t over. The next move is they will try to figure out some type of scope / inspection technique to determine if the engine will blow up or not. Some of the engines will be fine and they are trying to save some money and customer pain. Otherwise they are legit going to have to replace ever engine manufacture pre late 24. Gong show

IDK man. If the hybrids were also toasted they would have recalled a bunch of 23 sequoias by now that were contemporaneous with the ICE LX 600s.

On your delivery, if you already have a vin just add to your Lexus owners account and it will tell you in the specs the build date. Mine is September 2025, so I am honestly not concerned.
 
08/24 build date
Not included.
Only recall is the backup camera with TBD fix (mine hasn't had any issues) which also covers roughly 1M vehicles. Ford has the same backup camera stuff going on too.

Hybrids do not fall under the safety recall for failed ICE engines because they are not considered a safety risk if they lose ICE motive power.

Looking at the compiled data from the tundra community, I'm not willing to claim that hybrids fail less than conventional powertrains:

2022 tundra sales: 15011 out of 104246 total (14%),
2022 recorded failures: 9 out of 102 (9%).

2023 tundra sales: 30303 out of 125185 total (24%),
2023 recorded failures: 6 out of 23 (26%).

Of course, data is scarce and unofficial, so this might very well be "lies, damned lies, and statistics".

We’re in the same boat. I’m hanging my hat on this:
1. Carnutguy said there was an official part change on the engine in late 24. Hopeium but i want to believe it
2. It’s been 3 years so they must have figured it out.
3. I’m hoping they haven’t gone full retard by pulling bad engines, paying the labor and putting a new bad engine in. Presumably the replacements are newly created engines that will work and my 26 will get a new one. I hope this is true but it’s possible they’ve gone full retard.
4. I’m going to baby it with frequent oil changes and using higher viscosity oil to make sure the engine won’t break. Obviously me thinking this means I’ve gone full retard but here we are.
 
Some food for thought on my direct experience:
  • I changed my oil in my '24 GX at 800miles. There was heavy machining debris in the oil.
  • I changed the oil in my '25 (DEC 2024 build) LX7 at 1000miles. While there was some debris in the oil, it was an order of magnitude less than what I found in the GX and in line with other new engines I've seen in the past.

Seems the block cleaning process was definitely improved by DEC2024.

I haven't heard of any backup camera recalls, but do you know what the issue is? I've noticed that mine seems to skip frames when I back up, looks very glitchy. Is that the issue?

This is correct.

The most risk averse would prefer the V35A in ICE only version, as Toyota has seemingly set the precedent that the V35A with hybrid will not be eligible for the free engine replacement under the safety recall.

Meaning that after the factory warranty expires, if your V35A with hybrid blows, prepare to take out a bank loan.

While the folks with V35A ICE version will be financially covered under the recall period for the foreseeable future (no expiration date AFAIK).

This is very reassuring (02/25 here), and checks out with sudobash's comments in the tundra forum about Toyota solving the debris issue in Nov 2024.
