Toyota to Recall 100,000 Vehicles Over Risk of Stalled Engines

Debris in the trucks’ V35A engines can lead to loss of drive power.

Toyota will recall roughly 102,000 vehicles over concerns that stray debris in the engine can lead to a stall and loss of drive power, federal regulators said.

The recall will include about 3,500 Lexus LX 600 SUVs with the model years 2022 or 2023, and 98,600 Toyota Tundra pickups from the same time period, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The agency warned that those vehicles’ V35A engines produced during that time period at certain factories may not have had machining debris cleared during assembly.

"If the aforementioned machining debris adheres to the bearings and operation of the engine continues at higher loads over time, failure of the bearings may occur," NHTSA wrote. "This can lead to potential engine knocking, engine rough running, engine no start and/or an engine stall."
