Featured Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX recalled for engine replacement

That's like hitting the lottery! Big expenses like that on your own volition would cost $5,000 - $10,000. Big Automotive expense kind of happened to us as well recently in our plug-in hybrid. It's in the shop getting a brand new battery. Woohoo! Only thing is some will use a major replacement as an alibi to say it only happens to ev's.
NOT true.

 

the pursuit of higher mpg's coming back to bite?

 

Actually, I believe all these engines are in non-hybrid versions.

 

According to Transport Canada Recall # 2024-304, last updated today, Toyota Tundra trucks from the 2022 and 2023 model years equipped with the twin-turbo iForce engine, plus the 2022 LX 600, are being recalled...

But a similar V-6 I-focce engine can be in a hybrid https://www.josephairporttoyota.com/2023-toyota-tundra-and-i-force-engine/ though it isn't clear if any of those are involved in the recall.

 

Then there are rumblings of issues with the new Tacoma transmission.
