DETROIT, MI. (Pain In The Pass) >> Toyota is recalling more than 43,000 of its 2024 Tundra pickup trucks because debris left behind during the manufacturing process could contaminate the engine and increase the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall affects approximately 43,566 model year 2024 Toyota Tundra vehicles and is listed under NHTSA recall number 26V320, according to the federal safety agency.
NHTSA said debris inside the engine could cause the main bearing to fail, potentially leading to engine knocking, rough running, stalling or a failure to start altogether.
The agency warned that an engine stall could result in a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash, particularly at higher speeds.
NHTSA’s recall report did not immediately list any crashes, injuries or deaths connected to the issue.
According to the recall report, a remedy is still being developed. Owners of affected vehicles are expected to receive notification letters by July 6.
Drivers can contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 for additional information.
Although manufacturers can make every effort to notify affected customers about recalls, it’s not always possible. So, if you want to check if your car has an active recall, sometimes you need to do it yourself. Checking for a new or old recalls on your vehicle is easier than you think. Enter your vehicles VIN number at NHTSA Recall Site or checktoprotect.org to see if your vehicle has a open recall.
