Toyota Tundra 3.5L I-Force V6 MASSIVE Engine Issues *Heavy Mechanic Review* | 24TA07 Engine Recall

Man this is killing their reputation

Most automakers seemed to have stop caring about the quality of their product. They’ve raised prices and slashed quality control.

I believe your correct about Toyota not replacing the whole engine. Metal could still be in the Heads.

Toyota is lying. The same issue is occurring with Lexus products built in Japan with engines made in Japan rather than the tundra engines made in the US.

Toyota replacing engines with a short block is short sighted IMO. I would not want it back.

If you want a Tundra, buy those remaining older used 5.7 trucks while you can...

Again proving that Getty Adventures is the best channel ever!

Who would have thought that Ford would have built the better twin turbo 3.5L ? Theirs never had these issues and they are proven solid engine if well maintained.

That sucks for the current Tundra owners with a turbo, as the resale value just dropped to nothing. I certainly wouldn’t want to roll the dice by being one of those used Tundras.

Engine blowing up isn't the end of the story, the transmission is also blowing on the new Tundra and Sequoia.

A year ago, I began seriously looking for a full size truck to replace my Tacoma. The 2023 Tundra had me captivated but after a bit of research, I decided to hold off and see if the reported problems in the latest generation were isolated incidents. In November, a beautiful 21 Crew Max with 16k miles popped up. I bought the truck and am so glad that I did. I am in love with the old, outdated, unrefined version and plan to grow old with her, Lord willing.

The grille is nauseating to look at. They should do something about it while they are working on these trucks.

I think there is an inherent design flaw or oil flow issue. There’s no way that some Tundras are failing at 40-60k miles due to “manufacturing debris”. Thats simply not plausible as debris related failures tend to happen fairly soon in the engines life. Additionally, there have been some 2nd engine failures reported as well as multiple hybrid engine failures. That could be technician related or tech not cleaning all of the components that oil flows through. Like you said, there is certainly more to this story. I’ll be curious to see what Toyota comes up with and what the fix is.

I worked in dealerships for 23 years I was rebuilding a 3.8 in a jeep putting rings on the piston 5 feet away guy with a grinder blowing sparks at me .. all I can think of was when I was at the training centre and the instructor telling me to be surgical clean when putting together an engine 😂

On a side note, it would be cool if Toyota offered the 5.0 out of the Lexus rcf

Here's the kicker: the hybrid isn't included because when the engine fails, the hybrid has enough power to move you safely off the road. Lol. So it's not a "safety issue" with they hybrid like it is with the regular 3.4. I'm sure that makes hybrid tundra owners all warm and fuzzy knowing their engine is not getting fixed but they're just going to leave you hanging high and dry so that when you're towing one day BOOM.

I call bs on the machining debris, more like a design flaw!

It's really a shame. The 5.7 is wonderful..

Toyota has denied engine rebuilds under warranty for people who have changed the oil at jiffy lube with 5k miles and one guy had a dirty air filter. The cost for the motor rebuilds is 28-38k. The best thing to do is trade in your 22-24 for a 21. But 21 prices have sky rocketed. The 24’s arent recalled because they want to be able to continue selling them

Tech to tech. Its not limited to 22-23 or to non hybrid models only.
