Good advice for any older series of LC. After all, what's the point of having a vehicle that many owners proudly claim is so god damn durable it will last forever if you don't keep it for ever?

They’re saying on the Tundra forum the debris issue wasn’t solved at TMMAL until Nov 2024.
Crazy.
But that seems to be supported by the continued failures being reported online. There’s a ‘25 Mudbath TRD Pro with a locked engine at the dealer, just reported this week.
That would be odd if they didn't implement the revised process.
Have there been any reports of failures for the hybrid engines? I seem to recall they were excluded from the recall language.

The hybrid and gas only V6 motors are exactly the same. They didn’t issue a safety recall for the hybrid due to the ability for the car to have some power to pull off the road in the event of the engine seizing up.
The 2025 TRD Pro Tundra is a bit concerning if that has seized up. Seems like they don’t have it 100% figured out yet.
Every TRD Pro is a hybrid. And yes there are multiple hybrid failures. The recall is a safety recall; Toyota reasons that the hybrid still has power to get over onto the side of the road; that’s why they’re not covered in the recall.
Every non-recalled vehicle that fails gets a short block rebuild, whereas the recalled vehicles get new long blocks.
If they didn’t fully get the debris issue figured out until Nov ‘24 like some are saying on the Tundra forum, it would make sense. That ‘25 probably has a Fall ‘24 build date.
