WASHINGTON — More than 43,000 Toyota pickup trucks have been recalled, with both the manufacturers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reporting debris inside the engine that could cause the vehicle to stall dangerously.
“In the subject vehicles, an engine stall while driving leads to a loss of motive power. A vehicle loss of motive power. A vehicle loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds can increase the risk of a crash,” NHTSA wrote in its recall notice.
Engine knocking, rough running and a no-start can also take place when driving at high speeds in impacted cars.
The recall impacts certain non-hybrid 2024 Toyota Tundra trucks. Out of the 43,566 trucks subject to the recall, only an estimated 1% actually have the defect. Both Toyota and NHTSA announced the recall on May 20.
All car owners will be notified directly between July 6 and 20.
The Tundra had previously undergone two similar recalls, one in 2024 and another in 2025, that also involved issues with manufacturing debris inside the trucks’ engines.
“The engines involved in this new recall were produced using additional controls for removing manufacturing debris,” Toyota officials wrote last week.
NHTSA recommends calling Toyota’s customer service at 1-800-331-4331 if you believe your car is impacted by the recall.
