Toyota is recalling certain 2022-2023 Tundra and Lexus LX600 vehicles with V35A engines because manufacturing debris can contaminate the engine and cause main bearing failure, stalling the vehicle.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: main bearing failure is a structural engine failure that causes a stall and total loss of drive power, and the remedy is a full engine replacement.
