World-renowned automaker Toyota announced a safety recall involving certain model year 2022–2023 Tundra and Lexus LX vehicles on Thursday. This recall, which affects approximately 102,000 Toyota and Lexus branded vehicles in the United States, is due to a potential issue with the engine.
The problem lies in the possibility that the engine still contained certain machining debris after it had been manufactured.
In case you’re wondering what a vehicle engine manufacturing process is like, here is a video of Toyota engine production in Alabama, US:

Toyota says that in vehicles involved in the recall, machining debris left over can lead to potential engine no start, engine rough running, engine knocking and/or a loss of motive power, adding that while driving at higher speeds, a loss of motive power can increase the risk of a crash.
Toyota says it “is currently developing the remedy for this issue” and will notify the owners of involved vehicles by late next month.
“Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is current as of today’s filing date and is subject to change thereafter,” Toyota says in its recall announcement.
Those who own a 2022–2023 model year Toyota Tundra or Lexus LX are highly recommended to check if their vehicle is involved in this recall. Toyota’s website and the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the US government offer to see if a vehicle is involved in a safety recall at Toyota.com/recall and nhtsa.gov/recalls, respectively (Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate information will need to be entered on the webpages).
