This expansion adds to a series of recalls that began in 2024, when Toyota agreed to replace engines in over 102,000 trucks.
Late last year, the automaker added thousands more and extended coverage to the 2024 model year, including the gas-only Tundra, Lexus GX, and Lexus LX.
With this latest batch, the total number of affected vehicles exceeds a quarter of a million.
All may contain metal debris from the production line that could damage the #1 main bearing, leading to engine failure.

Toyota acknowledged that even after implementing additional controls to remove debris, some residue remains sufficient to cause damage.
The company stated that engines produced after those included in this recall feature an improved #1 main bearing designed to better resist any remaining debris.
The hybrid version of the Tundra remains excluded from the recall.
Toyota reports it has already repaired more than 77,000 vehicles, but remedies for this newest expansion and the November 2025 expansion are not yet finalized.

Owners have expressed frustration on Reddit, with some questioning the truck's reliability. One owner whose engine failed before coverage noted difficulty trusting the vehicle, especially with young children.
