Toyota Tundra 3.5L I-Force V6 MASSIVE Engine Issues *Heavy Mechanic Review* | 24TA07 Engine Recall

I review the new 2024 Toyota Tundra with the 3.5L I-force V6 twin turbo charged engine and discuss all current engine issues. recently these I-force Engines have been RECALLED due to complete engine failures. The Recall 24TA07 stats that Machining debris is causing main bearings to Fail. I give my opinion as a HD mechanic what is happening and why these engines are failing.

Well it's time to jump back into the new Third gen Toyota Tundra trucks because of a bombshell recall that was dropped on May 30th involving almost 100,000 trucks describing machining debris being felt in the engine during assembly and causing main bearings to fail resulting in complete engine failure.

this was happening to a number of engines since this third gen tundra's debut but Toyota was keeping a tight lip on the problem and nobody really knew what was happening but as we have learned the issues is apparently due to improper machining process and metal getting into the engines.

I also discuss the turbo problems on the 2022 models but the main bearing problems are by far the biggest issue at this point on this new engine and it is a large problem.

I show you guys a main bearing and what they look like and why they are failing but overall I am a little disappointed with the way they Toyota has been dealing with this issues up to this point.

they are not replacing the whole engine rather they are only replacing the bottom ends and re-using the top portion of the engine which in my opinion is cheap and a mistake, once metal has gone around the engine there is going to be wear on all components and I would like to see the engines replaced as a whole.

these third gen tundra trucks are not cheap and If I owned one I would want a new engine.

as of right now Toyota does not have a solution for this recall but hopefully they announce soon what the plan is moving forward with all these engines and trucks that have been recalled.

let me know what you guys think.
