Toyota Engine Recall Expansion Affects 2024 Tundra, Lexus LX and GX

Toyota recently (June 2026) issued a new voluntary recall for its 3.4L V6 twin-turbocharged engine, affecting approximately 44,000 non-hybrid 2024 Tundra vehicles nationwide. This engine issue has persisted for two years, with two previous large-scale recalls.

This engine is basically only used in Toyota's top-tier models, such as the flagship SUV LX (easily priced over $100k🔪) and the recently heavily marked-up GX series. Truly a friend to the budget-conscious, targeting the wealthy.

Recall Timeline and Affected Models

May 2024: 102,000 vehicles (2022-2023 Tundra, Lexus LX)

November 2025: 127,000 vehicles (adding Lexus GX)

June 2026: 44,000 vehicles (2024 non-hybrid Tundra)

Failure Cause: The official notice states that machining debris may remain inside the engine. Even though Toyota has enhanced production controls, the remaining debris is still enough to damage No. 1 main bearing, leading to catastrophic engine failure. Toyota has now completed repairs on 77,000 affected vehicles.

: The turbine isn't very durable, and it's the same even on Toyotas. I wonder if they can improve it. V6 and V8 naturally aspirated engines are mostly discontinued by now

: This engine has been plagued with issues since its launch, dragging on for five or six years with a whole pile of problems still unresolved. It just goes to show that this engine is fundamentally a defective product. Despite this, the prices of the GX and LX models remain high. If Toyota keeps playing it this way—[汗]
