RECALL 25LA07 (25LB07 Interim Notice) - Engine Recall - UPDATED: DEC 18, 2025

[henke]

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?

There is another thread about it. I was gonna copy paste you the info from my Lexus app (it showed up there a couple of days ago) but it seems to have disappeared?

Resolved by software update.

Yes
The least risk from a product liability is skipping/glitching or total blank screen.
The worst case, which Ford is experiencing, is a frozen image. You think it’s clear in back of you and there is a kid back there.
It’ll be a simple software reflash in most cases. My bet is by mid Dec or January when they send out remedy notifications.

Toyota Recalls Certain Toyota Tundra and Lexus GX and LX Vehicles - Toyota USA Newsroom

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 […]

pressroom.toyota.com

2023-2024 LX 600 - Early Nov 2022 through Early April 2024 - 9,900
2024 GX 550 - Late May 2023 through Early April 2024 - 3,800

It should be in your Lexus App momentarily.

No release schedule at this point in time.

So they made 3,800 gx550 in a year? Could have sworn I saw 3,801 just this morning.

 

[Joe T]

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).

Once they issue a recall it is permanent. If the car is registered, recalls and emissions warranties have to be repaired.

Yeah, but this assumes the hybrids have an issue, which is not the case. At least not yet and I doubt it will. Hopefully not the 25s.

 

[GXTOLX]

What is difference between the hybrid ice and non hybrid ice? Nothing. Doesn't make sense why hybrids were not involved. And I dont believe this a machining debris issue. I now strongly feel its engine debris from breakdown and use of 0w20 oil. There will be class action lawsuits down the road for all hybrid owners when these engines start breaking down. Anyone know how many v6 hybrids have had issues so far in tundra and sequoia. My dream suv is starting to look like a nightmare. Im already in a fight with Toyota about the lopsided towhitch that I see no easy fix for

There have several (100+) failures across the Tundra HV and Sequoia HV. Same symptom. Spun #1 Main Bearing.

The machining debris issue was not fully resolved until November 2024. The below short block is brand new, never run and produced in November 2022. Ryan has an interview on The Car Guy Online's YouTube. It's long, but you'll learn a lot of the issue.

 

[sudobash]

Yeah, but this assumes the hybrids have an issue, which is not the case. At least not yet and I doubt it will. Hopefully not the 25s.

But they do have an issue.

The short block is the EXACT same across i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX.

And yes. There have been failures in the 2025 model year.

 

[sudobash]

So they made 3,800 gx550 in a year? Could have sworn I saw 3,801 just this morning.

That is an approximate number.

The reason for that: Toyota/Lexus have terrible traceability when it comes to parts. Several plants do not use SAP.

 

[sudobash]

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.

The change was in Late April/Early May 2024.

#1 & #4 Main Bearing part numbers changed. Nothing else.

And there were several failures prior to and shortly after said change.

Maybe you mean 38,000?

 

[Joe T]

Test drive it. Heck I will go with you and see if I can feel the same vibration thing mine had.

I have a 4/24 600 and was kinda waiting to see what the plan was as this thing very obviously vibrated till i put 5-30 in it.

 

[henke]

But they do have an issue.

Don't mind him, he has a tendency to ignore obvious information right in front of his face even when it's spoonfed to him ad nauseum. Wish fulfillment, I think.

And yes. There have been failures in the 2025 model year.

Before all the 2025 700h owners start panicking here...2025 MY yes, but there have been 2025 MY with production dates of 2024 Sept/Oct. What about 2025 production year?

Yeah the "Model Year" in this case really isn't helpful unless you know the manufacture date of the engine. I know nothing about building engines but I assume they are making a s*** ton of these and stockpiling. In fact I but they started making more the second they knew they would need to recall. So it's very very possible a '25 model truck could have an early 2024 manufactured engine. Based on all this I actually feel pretty good about buying a new LX. I think the issue is behind them.

 

[WkndProject]

Based on all this I actually feel pretty good about buying a new LX. I think the issue is behind them.

Thats what I thought when I bought an early ‘24 build date. The previous recall had me thinking it was fixed by then.

I certainly do too, in case of a 700h 2025. It’s actually sitting in my garage now and it’s pretty awesome. The powertrain warranty is six years on the truck and IMO there is very little chance that we will have an issue after 2031, when it will have close to 70kmiles.

Don't mind him, he has a tendency to ignore obvious information right in front of his face even when it's spoonfed to him ad nauseum. Wish fulfillment, I think.

Yeah. I think you are projecting your own behavior bud. Keep doing it since probably makes you feel better.

 

[henke]

Yeah. I think you are projecting your own behavior bud. Keep doing it since probably makes you feel better.

Hmm...

Everyone else:

Kinda sucks that the hybrid has the same issue but isn't included in the recall.

Sadly the hybrid is just as cooked as the non hybrid

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%).

This is correct.

We are all entitled to our own opinions and I am obviously talking about official notices from Toyota recognizing the hybrids need a recall but, yeah buddy…keep going.

Yes. May 2025 failure. 1,270 miles.
