2022 Toyota Tundra engine problems

“My 2022 toyota tundra was part of an engine replacement recall. The original engine was replaced Oct 3 2025 at around 38,200 miles. The replacement engine broke down while driving on the street (could have happened on the freeway) on October 10 2026 at around 50k miles. Im waiting on how toyota will solve this problem.”

“This is a follow-up to my NHTSA complaint tracking #11742382, filed June 5, 2026, before my recall repair. I'm filing again because the repair is now complete and it has raised two new concerns: undocumented warranty coverage on the replacement engine, and an unresolved question about whether a second, broader recall applies to that replacement engine. 1. Recall repair completed. Under NHTSA Campaign 24V381000 (Toyota internal 24TA07, filed 2024-05-30), my original engine was replaced with a new OEM assembly (part 04004-23370, serial [XXX], 2026 manufacture date, incorporating the post-April-2024 revised bearing design) at Teton Toyota, Idaho Falls, ID, June 19 to 22, 2026 (repair order [XXX], mileage in/out 28,252/28,281). Toyota's own recall record states the replacement unit was inspected clean. I have no reason to doubt that specific finding; my concern is what happens after. 2. Replacement engine's warranty terms were left undocumented. The repair order lists the warranty "Policy Number" covering the new engine as TBD. As of this filing, Toyota National (1-800-331-4331) has not given me a written answer to a direct question: does the replacement engine…”

“REPEATED CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE / FAILED RECALL REMEDY. My 2022 Toyota Tundra suffered a complete engine seizure and sudden loss of motive power August 30, 2026, creating an immediate traffic hazard. This is the SECOND time this vehicle has experienced a catastrophic main bearing failure of its twin-turbo V6 engine. The original factory engine was replaced by an authorized Toyota dealership under Safety Recall 24V-381 / 24TA07 in March 2025. The defect should have been resolved. However, the replacement crate engine provided by Toyota carried the exact same engineering vulnerability as the original engine. It was manufactured prior to Toyota's mid-2026 engineering revision, which finally introduced a redesigned #1 main bearing to address localized crankshaft pressure stack-up (as noted in subsequent NHTSA filings like 26V-320).Furthermore, the previous engine replacement due to a federal safety recall was entirely withheld and not disclosed to me at the point of sale. Because Toyota replaced a recalled, defective engine with an identically flawed engine block, the initial recall remedy completely failed, leaving the vehicle dangerous and prone to repeated…”

“I am filing this complaint regarding my Toyota Tundra and Toyota Safety Recall 24TA07. My vehicle was previously affected by this engine recall, and Toyota replaced the engine as the recall remedy. The replacement engine has now failed with the same or substantially similar engine issue that resulted in the original recall and engine replacement. I am very concerned that a replacement engine installed as the remedy for a safety recall has experienced the same type of failure. This vehicle has now experienced engine failure involving two separate engines: the original recalled engine and the replacement engine installed by Toyota under Recall 24TA07. The Vehicle is at the Toyota dealer. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether replacement engines being installed under this recall may also be susceptible to the same or a similar defect. I would also like this complaint documented because I am concerned about the safety and reliability of the vehicle and whether Toyota's recall remedy adequately corrected the original safety issue. I am requesting that Toyota provide a permanent remedy for my vehicle at no cost to me. I would also like information regarding…”

“"I am writing to report a latent safety concern regarding my 2022 Toyota Tundra Hybrid equipped with the V35A-FTS engine. Non-hybrid 2022–2024 Tundras sharing this exact V35A engine block architecture are subject to active safety recalls (NHTSA Campaign IDs: 24V381, 25V767, and 26V320) due to crankshaft main bearing failure caused by manufacturing debris and oil film disruption. My hybrid model utilizes the same V35A internal engine short-block assembly and suffers from the exact same potential for main bearing contamination and catastrophic internal engine lockup. Although the hybrid battery provides limited low-speed auxiliary power, a sudden internal combustion engine failure or lockup while operating at highway speeds or under heavy towing loads creates a severe safety hazard, including immediate loss of throttle response, power steering loss, and high risk of rear-end collisions. My engine has not failed yet, but the presence of known, unaddressed manufacturing debris within the V35A assembly presents an ongoing safety risk. I request that NHTSA expand its safety defect investigation into the V35A engine architecture to explicitly include the i-FORCE MAX…”

“I am 99% sure my vehicle is compromised via a cybersecurity incident. My emergency brake will sometimes slam for no reason, no multi media system updates have occurred for over two years, and the vehicle will randomly beep on its own, unlocking the doors. Another major issue is a recent electric harness failure that the mechanics have no idea how it happened. It cost me over 8,000. Warning lights also turn on for no apparent reason such as parking, sensors, and other traction control. I am extremely concerned with my safety. I also believe the odometer has been altered to register higher mileage.”
