Toyota recalls over 100,000 vehicles over stalled engine concerns

Thursday, June 6, 2024 at 12:00 AM

(The Hill) — Toyota will recall about 100,000 vehicles over concerns that loose debris inside the engine could cause it to stall or otherwise fail, federal regulators announced last week.

The recall covers about 3,500 Lexus LX SUVs from 2022 and 2023 and just under 100,000 Toyota Tundra pickup trucks from the same timeframe, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said.

The select vehicles were built with V35A engines, which were potentially not cleared of all manufacturing debris during assembly. This means some of the debris could come loose and damage the engine, per the agency.

The manufacturing issue was solved on later models, though a recall is the only way to remedy the issue for cars already on the road.
