Toyota recalls – Toyota is recalling about 43,566 model year 2024 Tundra trucks because debris left from the manufacturing process could contaminate the engine, potentially causing stalling, rough running, or a failure to start. The recall is listed under NHTSA recall number 2
For drivers who expect their trucks to start every time, the risk Toyota is pointing to is the kind that changes how you think about the next stop light—an engine stall that could happen suddenly.
Toyota is recalling more than 43,000 of its 2024 Tundra pickup trucks after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warned that debris left behind during manufacturing could contaminate the engine and raise the risk of a crash.
The recall affects approximately 43,566 model year 2024 Toyota Tundra vehicles and is listed under NHTSA recall number 26V320.
NHTSA said debris inside the engine could cause the main bearing to fail. If that happens. the agency warned. drivers could experience engine knocking. rough running. stalling. or even a failure to start altogether. An engine stall, NHTSA added, could mean a sudden loss of drive power—an especially dangerous scenario at higher speeds.
NHTSA’s recall report did not immediately list any crashes, injuries or deaths connected to the issue.
The timing of what comes next is another concern. A remedy is still being developed, and owners are expected to receive notification letters by July 6. Once Toyota finalizes the repair solution, affected vehicle owners will be able to have the issue fixed free of charge.
This is not the first time Toyota has been tied to engine contamination concerns. The latest recall expands on two previous recalls issued in May 2024 and November 2025 that involved certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles with similar engine contamination risks. Those earlier recalls included certain 2022 through 2024 Lexus LX and Toyota Tundra models, along with some 2024 Lexus GX vehicles.
Toyota did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The stakes land on everyday drivers in practical ways. For additional information, drivers can contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Vehicle owners can also search for their vehicle identification number (VIN) on NHTSA.gov to determine whether their vehicle is included in the recall.
Beyond the Tundra, Toyota has issued several major recalls in recent months. In March. the automaker recalled more than 550. 000 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles over a seat-back locking issue that could increase the risk of injury during a crash. Toyota also recalled roughly 141. 000 Prius and Prius Prime vehicles earlier this year over rear doors that could unexpectedly open while the vehicle was moving.

So basically the truck can just not start? That’s insane.
I saw this headline and thought it was like… debris from the factory is in the engine?? How does that even happen. I don’t even trust 2024 stuff anymore.
My buddy said Toyota’s “main bearing” thing is just normal wear like after a while, so you should be fine. But then they’re saying stalling at higher speeds?? Also why would debris cause crashing if no crashes were reported… feels sketchy.
43,566 trucks and they don’t even have the fix yet?? Like okay July 6 is cool I guess but what about people who drive for work every day. Also this keeps happening with Toyota/Lexus recalls, so is it the plant or the design or what. If the engine stalls at a stop light that’s already bad enough but they make it sound like it could fail to start completely. I’d check my VIN just to be safe even though mine is probably not included.
