Toyota Finally Solved The Tundra Engine Failure Mystery
This video was first publish on Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk
Toyota has expanded its twin-turbo V6 engine recall again, and this time we finally have a better idea why these engines are failing.
According to a newly filed NHTSA report, Toyota spent months tearing down engines, analyzing failed components, and conducting laboratory testing. The investigation led engineers to one component in particular: the #1 main bearing.
The company says machining debris, often called "swarf" in the manufacturing industry, may not have been fully removed during production. That debris can contaminate the bearing, causing wear, engine knocking, rough running, and in some cases complete engine failure.
In this video, I break down:
► Toyota's latest recall filing
► Why the #1 main bearing matters
► What Toyota's engineers discovered during testing
► The role of metal shavings (swarf) in engine failures
► How this recall differs from previous Tundra engine recalls
► What current Tundra owners should know
The biggest surprise? Toyota's investigation found the same wear patterns seen in earlier recalled engines, suggesting the problem extended further into production than originally believed.
