Toyota redesigned its iconic Tundra pickup truck for the 2022 model year, with a twist. It tossed the naturally aspirated V8 engine Tundra drivers loved for a twin-turbocharged V6. But it famously had to recall every last V6. Now, the automaker has doubled the size of that recall, expanding it to more recent model years.

Here are all the years affected:

• 2022–2024 Toyota Tundra pickup truck
• 2022–2024 Lexus LX 600 SUV

Toyota’s switch to turbocharged V6s wasn’t completely out of left field. Automakers have been struggling to increase mpg and meet stricter emissions requirements. While the V8 Tundra was popular, it was a gas guzzler.

Meanwhile, Ford has spent 15 years proving its “EcoBoost” twin-turbocharged V6 has a market. So you could say Toyota was rolling out what tried-and-true technology. But it’s bet on turbocharged V6s has proven a losing one.

Engine debris, main bearing failures, and a snowballing recall

First, the very first V6 Tundras suffered turbocharger wastegate issues. Toyota switched suppliers to sort that little issue out. Then, in May 2024, the automaker began recalling Tundra trucks for main bearing failures. The culprit? Debris left in the engine block during the machining process.

The 102,000 vehicles impacted included all 2022–2023 Tundra pickup trucks and Lexus LX SUVs. Toyota pledged to replace all of those engines in what quickly became the most expensive recall in the company’s history.

That number has now doubled.

As of November 2025, Toyota has recalled an additional 127,000 Tundra trucks and Lexus SUVs, expanding the model years affected to 2022-2024.

It’s unclear why Toyota waited to announce these additional vehicles. Perhaps there was a mid-generation engine manufacturing update the automaker hoped would fix the issue—but didn’t.
