Toyota is recalling more than 43,000 of its 2024 Tundra pickup trucks because debris left behind during the manufacturing process could contaminate the engine and increase the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall affects approximately 43,566 model year 2024 Toyota Tundra vehicles and is listed under NHTSA recall number 26V320, according to the federal safety agency.
NHTSA said debris inside the engine could cause the main bearing to fail, potentially leading to engine knocking, rough running, stalling or a failure to start altogether.
The agency warned that an engine stall could result in a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash, particularly at higher speeds.

Those recalls included certain 2022 through 2024 Lexus LX and Toyota Tundra models, along with some 2024 Lexus GX vehicles.
