What's wrong?
A main bearing is a smooth metal support inside the V35A engine. It holds the crankshaft in position while the crankshaft spins and turns combustion force into drive power for the 2024 Toyota Tundra. The engine depends on those bearings staying clean and lubricated while the truck is running.
On affected Tundra trucks, machining debris left inside the engine during manufacturing can contaminate the engine assembly. If that debris sticks to a main bearing, engine load and bearing pressure wear the bearing surface. Continued operation at higher loads can make the bearing fail.
Once bearing damage is underway, the engine can knock, run rough, fail to start, or stall. If the engine stalls while driving, the truck loses drive power and crash risk increases. Toyota did not identify a reliable early warning sign before bearing failure. There is no warning sign before failure.

What's the safety risk?
A loss of drive power can leave the Tundra without propulsion and increases the risk of a crash. If your Tundra loses power, move out of traffic if you can, stop in a safe place, and contact a Toyota dealer. Schedule the recall repair when Toyota opens it. Repair will be free at any franchised Toyota dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
At the Toyota dealer, a Toyota technician will perform the recall repair once Toyota releases the final procedure. Toyota has not released the final repair steps yet, but the repair will address engine contamination that can lead to main bearing failure, engine stall, and loss of drive power. Parts and labor will be free once the remedy opens. Toyota is using its general reimbursement plan on file, so owners who already paid for a related repair should contact Toyota customer service and keep documentation for review.
