Repeated catastrophic engine failure / failed recall remedy. My 2022 Toyota Tundra suffered a complete engine seizure and sudden loss of motive power August 30, 2026, creating an immediate traffic hazard. This is the second time this vehicle has experienced a catastrophic main bearing failure of its twin-turbo v6 engine. The original factory engine was replaced by an authorized Toyota dealership under safety recall 24v-381 / 24ta07 in March 2025. The defect should have been resolved. However, the replacement crate engine provided by Toyota carried the exact same engineering vulnerability as the original engine. It was manufactured prior to Toyota's mid-2026 engineering revision, which finally introduced a redesigned #1 main bearing to address localized crankshaft pressure stack-up (as noted in subsequent NHTSA filings like 26v-320). Furthermore, the previous engine replacement due to a federal safety recall was entirely withheld and not disclosed to me at the point of sale. Because Toyota replaced a recalled, defective engine with an identically flawed engine block, the initial recall remedy completely failed, leaving the vehicle dangerous and prone to repeated mechanical failure. The vehicle has driven approximately 16 months since the March 2025 replacement. I am demanding that Toyota provide a permanent remedy using the updated, structurally revised 2026 engine components. It is at the Toyota dealer.
