 "quickAnswer": "Toyota has recalled about 272,000 gas-engine trucks across three NHTSA campaigns for the same problem: machining debris left in the 3.4L twin-turbo V35A engine can damage the main bearings, which can lead to engine knock, a stall and loss of power. 24V381 (2022–2023 Tundra and LX600, 102,092 vehicles) replaces the engine. 25V767 (2022–2024 Tundra, LX, and the 2024 GX550, 126,691 vehicles) and 26V320 (2024 Tundra, 43,566 vehicles) inspect the #1 main bearing with software and drive data, and replace the engine if needed. Toyota's codes: 24TA07/24TB07 and 25TA14/25TB14 (Toyota), 24LA04/24LB04 and 25LA07/25LB07 (Lexus). Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. All figures from NHTSA recall reports.",

 "content_markdown": "> QUICK ANSWER\n>\n> Toyota has recalled about **272,000** gas-engine trucks across **three NHTSA campaigns** for the same problem: **machining debris left in the 3.4L twin-turbo V35A engine can damage the main bearings**, which can lead to engine knock, a stall and loss of power. **24V381** (2022–2023 Tundra and LX600, 102,092 vehicles) replaces the engine. **25V767** (2022–2024 Tundra, LX, and the 2024 GX550, 126,691 vehicles) and **26V320** (2024 Tundra, 43,566 vehicles) inspect the #1 main bearing with software and drive data, and replace the engine if needed. Toyota's codes: 24TA07/24TB07 and 25TA14/25TB14 (Toyota), 24LA04/24LB04 and 25LA07/25LB07 (Lexus). Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. All figures from NHTSA recall reports.\n\nThe 3rd gen Tundra's twin-turbo V6 has now been the subject of three separate engine recalls, each one expanding the last. That has left a lot of owners unsure whether their truck is covered, which campaign applies, and whether they will get a new engine or just an inspection. This page lays out exactly what NHTSA's recall records say, campaign by campaign, so you can match your truck to the right one.\n\n**Where this comes from.** Everything below is from NHTSA's recall database (campaigns 24V381, 25V767 and 26V320), retrieved October 20, 2026. Unit counts are NHTSA's \"potential number of units affected\" and cover every model in each campaign.\n\n## The Three Campaigns at a Glance\n\n| NHTSA CAMPAIGN | FILED | VEHICLES | UNITS | WHAT DEALERS DO | TOYOTA / LEXUS CODE |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| **24V381** | May 30, 2024 | 2022–2023 Tundra; 2022–2023 Lexus LX600 | 102,092 | **Replace the engine assembly** | 24TB07 / 24TA07; Lexus 24LB04 / 24LA04 |\n| **25V767** | Nov 6, 2025 | 2022–2024 Tundra; 2022–2024 Lexus LX; 2024 Lexus GX | 126,691 | **Inspect the #1 main bearing** using inspection software and drive data; replace the engine if necessary | 25TB14 / 25TA14; Lexus 25LB07 / 25LA07 |\n| **26V320** | May 20, 2026 | 2024 Tundra | 43,566 | Same inspection, engine replaced if necessary | 25TB14 / 25TA14 |\n\nNHTSA's records describe 25V767 as an expansion of 24V381, and 26V320 as an expansion of both.\n\n## What the Defect Is\n\nNHTSA's summary for all three campaigns is the same: **debris from the manufacturing process may contaminate the engine and cause the main bearings to fail**, which can result in an **engine stall and loss of drive power**. NHTSA lists the consequence as an increased risk of a crash.\n\nIn practice, owners on Tundra and Land Cruiser forums describe the failure as a knock that develops into rough running or a no-start. If your truck develops a new knock, rough idle or oil pressure warning, stop driving it and contact a dealer, whether or not you have received a letter.\n\n## Which Trucks Are Covered\n\n- **2022–2023 Tundra (gas):** in 24V381 and 25V767. Which one applies depends on the VIN.\n- **2024 Tundra (gas):** in 25V767 and 26V320.\n- **Tundra Hybrid (i-FORCE MAX):** NHTSA's model lists for these three campaigns name the Tundra, LX and GX, not the Tundra Hybrid.\n- **Lexus LX600 / LX (2022–2024)** and **2024 Lexus GX550:** included in the Lexus side of the campaigns.\n\nNot every truck of those years is included: the campaigns cover specific build ranges. The only reliable answer for your truck is a VIN check.\n\n## Where the Remedy Stands (October 2026)\n\n| CAMPAIGN | OWNER LETTERS |\n| --- | --- |\n| 24V381 | Mailed December 17, 2024 to February 19, 2025 |\n| 25V767 | Mailed August 28, 2026 |\n| 26V320 | Interim letters mailed July 23, 2026; further letters once the final remedy is available |\n\n## How to Check Your Truck\n\n1. **Find your VIN** on the lower driver's side of the windshield or the driver's door jamb label.\n2. **Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls**, or Toyota's own recall lookup on the Toyota owners site. Both show open recalls by VIN.\n3. **Call Toyota** at 1-800-331-4331 if the lookup and your letter disagree.\n4. **Keep records** of oil changes. They are not a condition of the recall, but they matter for any related engine claim.\n\n## Should You Change Your Oil More Often?\n\nThe recall remedy does not change the maintenance schedule. Toyota's 2024 Tundra maintenance guide calls for oil every 10,000 miles on 0W-20, or every 5,000 miles if most of your driving is under special operating conditions such as towing or dusty roads. Some owners have moved to shorter intervals and oil analysis while they wait for their inspection; that is a personal choice, not a Toyota requirement. The full schedule is in our [Tundra maintenance guide](/guides/toyota-tundra-maintenance-schedule-checklist/), and oil specs are in the [Tundra fluids guide](/guides/toyota-tundra-fluid-capacities-and-types-2014-2025/).\n\n## Other 3rd Gen Tundra Recalls\n\nThe engine is not the only open item on 2022+ Tundras. These NHTSA campaigns cover the gas and hybrid trucks (accessory and label-only recalls left out):\n\n| NHTSA | YEARS | ISSUE | REMEDY | UNITS |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 22V445 | 2022 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid | Rear axle shaft flange nuts can loosen; axle can separate | Inspect, tighten, replace damaged parts | 46,176 |\n| 22V661 | 2022 Tundra | Skid control ECU can stop the electronic parking brake engaging | ECU reprogram | 83,725 (all models) |\n| 23V111 | 2022–2023 Tundra, Hybrid | Instrument panel display can go blank | Meter software update | 8,989 |\n| 23V468 | 2023 Tundra, Hybrid | Spare tire chain weld | Replace spare tire carrier | 1,398 (all models) |\n| 23V566 | 2022–2023 Tundra, Hybrid | Plastic fuel tube can chafe on brake lines and leak | Protective material and clamp | 168,179 |\n| 24V125 | 2022–2024 Tundra, Hybrid | Unexpected movement in neutral with brakes off | Transmission ECU update | 280,663 (all models) |\n| 24V767 | 2024 Tundra, Hybrid | Passenger-side tire inner sidewall damage | Inspect and replace tires | 11,890 (all models) |\n| 25V322 | 2022–2025 Tundra, Hybrid | Moisture in reverse lights | Replace reverse lights, repair harness | 443,444 |\n| 25V657 | 2022–2025 Tundra, Hybrid | Rear camera image may not display | Multimedia software update | 393,838 (all models) |\n| 26V038 | 2024–2025 Tundra, Hybrid with Panoramic View Monitor | Rear camera image may not display | Parking assist ECU update | 161,268 |\n\n\"All models\" means NHTSA's count includes other Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the same campaign.\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n### Which Tundras are in the engine recall?\n\nSpecific 2022–2024 gas Tundras with the 3.4L twin-turbo V35A engine, across NHTSA campaigns 24V381, 25V767 and 26V320.
