I am filing this complaint regarding an active safety recall on my 2024 Toyota Tundra involving manufacturing debris left in the v35a 3. 4l twin-turbocharged v6 engine during production. This recall has been open for multiple years and spans over 250,000 vehicles across the 2022–2024 Tundra, Lexus lx 600, and 2024 Lexus GX 550. The manufacturing debris causes damage to the engine’s main bearings, resulting in engine knocking, rough running, failure to start, and sudden loss of motive power while driving at speed — a condition Toyota itself acknowledges increases the risk of a crash. Toyota deployed a remedy consisting of full engine replacement; however, Toyota has since acknowledged that the replacement engines are experiencing the same failures, meaning there is currently no confirmed, working fix. Despite this, Toyota continued selling new vehicles with this known defect. Remedy deadlines have been repeatedly promised and repeatedly missed, with the latest expected resolution pushed to July/August 2026 — a deadline that has already slipped multiple times. As an owner, I am left driving a vehicle that Toyota acknowledges is dangerous, with no confirmed timeline for a legitimate repair, and suffering significant financial harm due to the ongoing depreciation and diminished resale value caused directly by this unresolved defect.
Toyota issued a recall (NHTSA 25v322) over a year ago. We are now more than a year beyond the issuance date of this recall and stop sale order for affected vehicles. There is still no remedy available for this recall and from what I can tell, none in sight. Additionally, on 11/6/25, Toyota issued a recall (NHTSA 25v767) related to potential engine failure. Over 6 months after this recall and stop sale notice there is no remedy available. Both of these issues go beyond what most would consider remedying the issues in a “timely manner”.

My 2024 Toyota Tundra platinum (VIN [xxx] ) had multiple times where I had delayed throttle response which created close call of accident while turning. I researched my VIN and it is subject to safety recall 25ta14 for v35a engine stall due to manufacturing machining debris causing main bearing failure. Toyota has issued this recall but no repair remedy is currently available. The authorized dealer (ed martin Toyota, indianapolis, indiana) has confirmed they do not have authority to perform the repair and cannot provide a remedy timeline. I have surrendered the vehicle because I do not feel safe operating it. I am without transportation indefinitely. This vehicle has also been subject to four additional safety recalls: 26ta02, 25ta10, 25ta06, and 24ta02. I previously filed a formal buyback claim with Toyota motor north America (claim no. Xxx) in November 2024 which was denied. Toyota has since issued three additional recalls on this same vehicle. I am requesting federal intervention and investigation into Toyota’s failure to provide a timely remedy for this safety recall. ” information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
It’s been almost a year with no fix in sight for my tail lights. And my motor has had a recall on since November with no fix in sight. I’ve started the lemon law/buy back process on March 4th and have no communication from Toyota either any updates since . I’ve had no failures to date but want my recalls fixed or truck replaced so I can sell my vehicle.
