Frankly, I have watched this video and the last one about the Turbo V6 Engine, and I feel nothing, but supreme trepidation. Your public safety warning is commendable and most effective, for my teeth are gnashing against their opposites, like those engine cylinders knocking against one another; my mouth leaking saliva like those Turbo V6 engines are leaking oil. The only difference is, my jaws are yet to shutter into glass, but Toyota's Turbo V6 engines, have! And yes, there's "Toyota" written all over them!
Toyota has had recalls, but I don't "recall them ever recalling" a Highway Coffin, which is, sadly, what the Tundra is fast becoming in the mind. How on Earth is Alabama allowed to put any engine together, let alone a Turbo V6 engine? Some of them hybridized at that? What were the Japanese thinking - that attention to detail emanates from the Might Steely Halls of Kentucky Fried Chicken? Is Toyota implying that the LX600, which can bankrupt exactly fifty-seven Middle Class American Families (on KFC), is also tootling around with an Alabama-made, Kettle-Whistling engine that is just about, any time, to blow out atop the fire, quench the flame, and never-mind that while at the mess, a long 18-Wheeler ram into both cheeks of the same ass? What on Earth?
They need to build these Engines in Japan by Japanese people.
This issue has nothing to do with Alabama factory because the exact same issue with the Lexus and full size Land Cruiser built in Tahara factory in Japan. I saw so many videos with exact same issue with the Land Cruiser 300 series!
@@user-dv7nk7hy3fnope because the Lexus and Land Cruiser 300 series built in Japan has the exact same issue.
"stop driving" WRONG ANSWER LOL. The safest thing to do is fill up on the lowest octane allowed and torque the heck out of it until you throw a rod. That's the only way you'll get a full engine replacement. If you get an engine rebuilt by the dealer, you're gonna have even more safety problems down the road...
That's what I would do too 😂
It is not a debris! How is it possible that this issue affects all vehicles made in the US and Japan, such as the Tundra, Lexus, and Land Cruiser 300s? Assuming the machining is done by one supplier globally, how did it pass inspection in two factories in Japan and the USA for three years? I believe it is a design issue. The most important concern is the repair cost of $32,000!
If someone encounters this issue after the warranty expires, how can they afford $32,000? After 6-7 years, low-trim trucks may not even be worth $32,000, which means these trucks could end up in the junkyard if their engines fail.
Finally the first YT person to actually read the docs......so tired of the click bait crap from people that. didn't spend 10 minutes reading the report. Thank you!
Thank you... we try not to be lame on this channel (but sometimes we are) 😢
I don't believe Toyota is being honest about what exactly is causing engine failures for TTV6 platform. They're not covering the '24 model and they're having the same issue despite saying 24s were fixed for the engine failures.
Thank you man! At someone gets it! My 2024 Tundra is affected and Toyota has not mentioned it. Engine knock noises at 3 miles.
They should not sell any Tundra or any vehicle with this engine even if recalled or not.
Technically in first dealer recall notice said "STOP, do not sell new inventory"... who knows if dealers are complying or not...
Exactly.
I think Toyota is grasping at any explanation they can imagine for their POS TT V/6. Who wants one after the engine is rebuilt by an under paid dealership ,flat rate technician? I sure as hell wouldn't! Toyota is gonna need to dig deep to pay for this mess.
great point on that flat-rate tech labor 👏
How about my ‘20 LS 500 F-Sport? Not on the recall, but….have 35k miles on it w/ no issues.🤔
Saw a video of a guy in the middle of having his Tundra short block replaced and went into the dealer to check on the progress and there heaps of his truck parts laying about all over the floor. Would you be confident in your truck functioning properly after something like this?
@@RYTHMICRIOT Hell no , I worked many years as a dealership tech. I worked with lots of techs who were corner cutting , dishonest , dirtbags. There are some good ones also but it is a gamble I would not want to take on a $75,000 truck, no thanks!
I keep thinking the engine replacements would need to include the turbos as well. If there was enough debris floating around in the engine it could have made it to the turbos as well from the oil feed. Unless there was sufficient screening/filtering pre-turbo.
This IS A DESIGN FLAW but they will never admit to it. All manufacturers do this...this will enable them to replace the blocks and bearings on the engines that fail, while they quietly redesign on the next Gen Tundras. No manufacturer would issue a recall that would require a 20k crate motor because they know it would fail again. 100k Tundras affected with a badly designed engine. They'll roll with the debris excuse and "fix" them until the warranty runs out.
so what's the speculated design flaw in your opinion??
Sounds like the oil journals are too small and it’s starving itself of oil. I don’t know if I buy the whole “debris” explanation.
Have a 23 sequoia platinum ($82,000)built March 23 and purchased early April. I Just had the oil changed today at the dealer. I have always changed it around 5000 …currently at 18,000. While waiting I had the service advisor look up the VIN and he said it’s not affected because of the build date.
I don’t believe the debris issue. I believe a debris issue would have shown earlier signs in all the engines. I’m not sure where they are manufactured? But I bet they have multiple engine facilities. Are they all failing from one particular facility? I have read they are even failing in the Japan market…
I believe It’s a poor bearing or a lubrication system design and I believe they are failing at different rates based on environment, service intervals ( 10,000 is far to long for a turbo) and driving habits… I hope I’m wrong but all these engines will fail with the same issue.
They are catering to the tundra and Lexus owners first because most are not hybrid…
Buy back option is hopefully coming. I can’t trust our dealer to change oil let alone swap an engine.
Also It took almost a year to get a second key…
Toyota was the leader in Six Sigma process but they sure have deviated away from the process and they are paying for it and they need to be more transparent.
You should not have paid more than $42k for that vehicle.
I 100% agree and it should be more like $35,000, but it’s 2024, and it’s not going to get better like we all think. When I was at the dealer the showroom was full of customers purchasing.
The dealer actually offered to buy it back for 71,000 and I’m going to mostly likely take the offer…Love the car but worried about longevity.
I think we are likely to see delayed failure with the Hybrid max platform as the electric motor may help to alleviate some of the load the main bearings see from low end torque. That's not to say the engine isn't a ticking time bomb. I highly doubt that the issue is related to machining debris and moreso related to main journal bearing cap design.
I agree. The debris scuse seems to me to be a talking point.
Again, Toyota keeps thinking people are stupid.
I forsee a class action lawsuit.
Thanks for your attention to this issue. Getting way more from the RUclips community than Toyota.
I’m glad I have my “Mile Grabber”!! It will last forever!! GX470 2008🙌🏼. 2UZ-FE.
Was originally developed for an Airplane! 💪🏼🇺🇸🙌🏼👍🏼❤️
you definitely have a forever engine..m you'll bore of it before it gives you any trouble ❤️
So glad I pulled trigger on my 2023 GX instead of waiting for the redesign. 1ur-fe forever
definitely one less thing to worry about 😆.... 😢
Again, specific manufacturing period, which we already know is MORE than just the 2023 model year end timeline.
2 safety recall for the new tundra with no permanent fix.. 1st is the fuel line leak and 2nd is the engine failure.
This is some serious stuff! Hope nobody gets hurt.
As a long time Toyota fan boy, this recall is like a kick in the stomach. We have a new grandchild and was considering a Tundra or Sequoia.
Saftey and life come first... stall on highway is not good 😢
Just called my salesman. Notices are due soon. Thanks for the heads up! NM
Daughter just bought 23 Tundra past the date haven't been advise hers under recall yet. Imagine its a matter of time all will be included.
Please watch this RUclips channel's later vids on this vehicle and recall issues.
I'd be willing to bet there are way more of these affected vehicle owners out there than there are informed viewers. Does that make sense.? I guess what I'm trying to say is that many people may not be even aware that they have this issue lurking and will continue to drive these vehicles, which not only can have dire effects on them and their families but also drivers around them! I am so glad I have the GX 460 and it's a 2022!!! Wonder if my Lexus dealer is still getting the 30 thousand over MSRP that they told me they could get at the drop of a hat for their LX 600's. That was just in early winter 2023. I have 2 neighbors who bought these tundras and I have no doubt they must be distraugt. Plus what if that's your only mode of transportation or you depend on that truck to make a living?
Little worried about my engine. I had a stall in my crv in a 2 lane highway as I was approaching a curve which require a slowdown to make safely. I lost power steering and brakes. This is what I am scared of in my tundra.
It IS a _SAFTEY_ recall... be safe 🙏 😢
Damn, I have a 2024 Tundra TRD Pro (with iForce Max hybrid engine) that I purchased 09/2023. From your video, will Toyota extend safety recall to hybrid and later production trucks? Wife is just urging me to get rid of it, money is not what’s important.
unknown... call Toyota... your safety is what matters the most 🙏 ❤️
@Mach.1 this is one of those times I would listen to her. Find yourself a good, low mile late model previous generation V8.
im in the same boat
Makes me like my GX 460 more and more. Has anyone come up with any Toyota V-6 knock, knock jokes? Seriously though, hopefully no one gets hurt and they fix the problem soon.
zomg knock-knock jokes 😆 🤣... 😢
I asked ChatGPT for a joke and this is what it said:
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Toyota’s new V6!
Toyota’s new V6 who?
Knocking on the owner's door with a weary sigh, the engine's plea, a desperate cry. "I'm about to die," it seems to say, in hopes the owner won't drive away.
Toyota. " Oh, what a feeling."
These trucks are pilled to the brim at my local Toyota dealer. I was sad as I saw the 24’ 4Runners dwindling, never to be seen again.
Tundra orphanage? 😢
Glad I got my 4Runner in 2019!
Perfect opportunity for Nissan to re-invest in the Titan.
you are darn right....nature abhors a vacuum
My 2024 Tundra crewmax trd offroad is manufactured outside that production period; looks like I'm safe.
😂😂😂 Good luck.
Don't risk your safety over a car manufacturers negligence. They took a year to finally address this issue, who knows if they'll send out another notice with newer v35a engines. Don't risk your life over an unreliable vehicle. If you have the chance to sell it without losing too much value, I'd suggest doing it
Don't count on it. 2024 Tundras and the Lexus are failing in the same way. it's more likely a design defect than a machining debris issue.
Can you drop us a link to the NHTSA report?
I think the report number is onscreen
During the video you showed 2 different Production Dates (Nov 02, 2021 - Feb 13, 2023 and Jul 30, 2021 - Nov 25, 2022). What the difference between 2 dates?
Please provide links for the articles you show on your videos.
I did a search at NHSTA but it ask for VIN and I do not have it.
Thanks
Hi the NHTSA code is onscreen in the video
i am so glad i stuck to my guns and went with the 2022 GX460, wife wanted the GX550
I have an IS500 V8 & want a GX550. But holding off for now. There is too much risk, I don't want to get screwed lol
Most women dont even know what kind of engine is in their vehicle. They just see something pretty and want it.
@@Plucus21and that goes for more than just cars too!
@@thewholeeventhorizon underrated comment of the day
Given this is a safety issue you have to believe Toyota knows the range of dates affected and isn’t going to fudge that. Meaning the GX 550 is probably ok. That and made in Japan.
Lolol their flagship LX600 is also made in Japan and has the same issue, that v6 twin turbo is structurally flawed sad but that’s the truth
@JackJohnson314 It is difficult to believe. We assume the workmanship in Japan is higher quality but maybe they really did have a flawed process. Hard to believe such a simple oversight could happen though.
@@Real_Naturalyeah these v6TT are cooked throwing rods and rod bearings, there is no “machine shavings” seems the lower block is just structurally flawed and not built to take the torque loads for trucks/SUVs, I know they brought this v6TT in the LS years ago but that’s a sedan much different used case. This is what happens when ya go green smh 🤷🏻♂️, they should’ve figured out a v8 NA hybrid instead.
@@Real_Natural these v35a twin turbo v6 engines are flawed. Even the ones built in Japan are having issues. Tinkerer adventure had a video about the main bearings being an issue?
@@JackJohnson314exactly! And the sedan has a lot less torque.
Still no resolution from Toyota, like cmon they gotta know they’re going to have to replace all these engines, just suck it up and eat the cost
the "part affected" number hints that Toyota might replace the entire FULL engine as that $17k part is indeed the entire engine.. but that's just speculation
Always wondered about a situation like this since there’s a risk of the vehicle shutting down on a busy freeway. Seen some owners say they’re not worried about the recall and they’ll just continue to drive their truck since it might not be affected. I couldn’t feel comfortable driving the truck on any long distance trip
the human-life factor should be paramount here
I have a 23 platium that was made in March of 23. I'm getting nervous.
Think life first. What will it be like if you stall in the fast lane on an 8-lane interstate with 18 wheelers behind you? 😢
Thanks for uploading as always. Here’s my question for you, indulge me if you will. In say 3-5+ years, your old GX is a little long in the tooth and you wanted to get a newer car. Would you go with a GX 550 Overtrail if they put the third row in and all of these recalls and engine issues were put to bed? Or would you just get a 22’ or 23’ GX 460 for the buttery smooth V8?
We could do a whole video on this topic. I'd love a real LC300 GRS. Since that won't happen I'd love to see a LX600 with all the 300 GRS features. People reviewing the GX550 complain of less lux than the GX460 and thay would be irksome... that wood steering wheel and "Premium feel" need to be there...
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD gotcha. I love the LX/ LC’s and would happily get one too, with less oversized lip and more 300 GRS off-road features as well. For now I’m playing it super conservative, went 2023 GX 460, much in part to your videos and advice so thank you for that :)
Maybe one day when these engines and all the kinks are worked out I’d spring for a GX 550/ LX 600, but I was just too nervous about the new changes. Unlike many Lexus fans, I love a good turbo, but it had better be built to last like every other Toyota/ Lexus product before I take the leap. Time to drive the GX for another 5 years it seems
Wow, that was fast for a simple recall to a major stop driving recall toyota’s quality has gone downhill fast wow like I said, earlier A cheap Engine bearing causing a cascading failure goes back to Toyota engineers and bean counters and Quality inspectors not doing there job as well Toyota corporate wants profit instead of reliability and dependability, long-term
D00D TOYOTA IS SO RELIABLE DOOD.
they said so in a 30 year old commercial! recalls on a regular basis? never done a major repair in my life? cope? what are you talking about DODD they made toyota trucks into TECHNICALS D00D. its not because they just had those trucks available for purchace. desert people had a very wide array of pickup truck choices, they thought it over and landed on toyota trucks, because they are SO reliable. didnt you see the 90s commercial that said so? wow, these trucks are unstopabble. thats why you ALWAYS see 30+ year old toyota pickups on US roads. its because they dont get recalled or break down non stop. there is no cope! TECHNICALS DOOD
I think my GX theory is correct but that means they have known about this for a lot longer than they are admitting. As a Toyota fan this is extremely disappointing. I don’t care where it was made. It says Toyota on it.
What theory?
@@butkusrules08 Over the last few videos I theorized that they caught this problem a while back and fixed the GX 550s already. I think that’s why they came out a good three months later than they were scheduled to. I figured this because of the huge marketing campaign they did at launch. They stand to lose a lot if their newly designed GX fails at launch. It’s total speculation on my part.
@@deanrotering879 You're correct ...Same with the 2024 Tundra' s have been taken care of. ..Toyota knew about the issues Months ago..and made the corrections on their production line going forward..Over to 2024.. .. I own a 2024 1794 TRD..I'm not concerned.. Just amazing how many negative reviews are out there compare to the good ones..It's a very small percentage..and they're very loud and in your face.. LOL Toyota will not leave their loyal customers out in the cold.
This is crazy
Ux300h effective on this list?
Hey man, a couple things I wanted to share. The Lexus dealers around me have had a handful of problem LS sedans. Main beatings that got trashed, new short block put in, no problems after that. It hasn't happened much recently, but we were doing around three a year on average since this generation LS came out.
And some speculation. The new Toyota engine architecture seems to be more homogeneous. I'm wondering if they were using the same process on all engines in this family. Something that may not have been a problem for the manufacturer process on their 4cylinders may have caused issues for all V6s. So I'm curious where this "process" error leads to as it pertains to other models.
Thanks for the real-world information. It certainly hints at some process error in manufacturing... regardless of country
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD A little update. One of the area Lexus dealers has just started their first warranty job for an LX 600 equipped with the 3.4l J35A engine. Catastrophic engine failure as far as I know. I don't have any more info than that, unfortunately, but my worst fears are coming true.
I’m loving this because it’s gonna give me a better chance of getting a good deal on a GX 550😂
There must of already been crashes as otherwise it wouldn’t be a safety recall
... 😢
im really upset
You keep going back and forth saying yes the gx550 is and then it’s not affected. Then you put up a picture of 4 vehicles being recalled and included the gx550 in that picture. So is it affected or not? It is made late 2024 and later other than the pre production models of course so according to the recall dates it is not affected but your video leads me to believe it is. Which is it?
Sorry you'll have to make that determination. 2 weeks ago Toyota DENIED there were any problems with the V35A-FTS despite multiple antidotes and reports of engine failures worldwide. A few days ago they did a 180 and said: "there's problems". People STILL report engine problems in '24 Tundras... Is Toyota being honest with this recall? Or are they breaking off the bad news in small, digestible chuncks? Toyota=our V6 is blowing up. Internet people=our V6 is blowing up. You=buy a GX550 with same V6? Your call. 😉
What a disaster
They can take the crap V6 out of mine and put the reliable V8 in, instead. I am so glad my wife insisted we get the full term complete extended warranty. I only have 6700km after nearly a year, so time till tell.
Your V8 was crap at one time too, it’s weird how everybody has amnesia about that. Toyota/Lexus are not infallible Things happen and mistakes happen. Any other car company would leave you hanging high and dry I bet.
Change oil every 3500 miles
Engines are not blowing up!
So how are we supposed to get to work?
your saftey is more important 🙏 ❤️ demand a LOANER from Toyota
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD yea right like that is really going to happen I’ve driven ragged junk/fords all my life if it blows they can drag it into the shop
Take the L and trade it in.
@@user-dv7nk7hy3fno way
Stop guessing about the problem. ASAP, If you have this engine, drain the oil and send out a sample of it to an oil analysis lab
Also remove the oil filter cut it open and look for metallic particles. Take the filter to a machine shop if you don't have the tools or expertise to open one without injury to yourself. Everyone post the oil & oil filter results here.
Some of you might get lucky and find a contaminated filter before extensive harm is done. We will also know if an engine blew on clean oil. Don't forget to replace the oil & filter. Doing this we will have REAL data to compare with Toyota
Toyota has gone Kia. They are on a rocket heading down. Incredible to see.
Kinda feels like Toyota has adopted the GM "win some, lose some" management philosophy
I still see a lot of these Tundras driving around in my area, I hope they are watching your video.
The curse of the turbo engines. If it ain’t broken don’t change it or fix it. Should’ve kept the naturally aspirated engines. Good luck Toyota.
HORRIBLE DECISIONS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS ! SIMPLICITY ,RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY LOST FOREVER !
I mean #toyota...
They never had so many issues all at the same time before, right? or was this always a thing and we ignored it?
I don’t believe you😅 This is not what Mr unbiased Scotty Kilmer is saying!
Scotty kilmer is THE click bait master
Here’s my solution…TITAN
blasphemy!!! 😆..... 😢
What a bad situation. What has happened to Toyota?
Made in USA by lazy, disloyal workers who complain
Greed
That is dumb...people's lives are on the line and the engine is the problem. So just replace the engine..why so hard to figure that out.....
Probably because Toyota isn't sure how they're going to puke out more than 100k engines (so far) as these trucks begin to stack up in the back lots of dealers awaiting service. I can imagine there are going to be people without their vehicle for half a year or more. Toyota is probably "mathing" right now to determine if they can feasibly replace all these engines or if a buyback is more palatable for them. Either way, this is a 5 alarm dumpster fire.
not all of these engines will fail, the reality is only 1% might fail
which reality u talkin about !??????????
toyota sux azz now
Turbos and Hybridization with complication of everything will go down in history as their destruction of RELIABILITY them !
