Toyota Tundra TWIN TURBO V6 I-Force Trouble isn’t Over…

Toyota has officially issued a THIRD engine recall involving the 3.4L i-Force Twin Turbo V6 found in the Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX platforms — and this time an additional 44,000 engines have been added to the recall list. In this video I break down exactly what’s going on with these failures, why these engines continue to suffer bottom-end damage and complete engine failures, and why Toyota’s previous attempts at fixing the issue may not have actually solved the root problem. Toyota originally blamed manufacturing debris contamination. Then they attempted additional fixes including revised production processes and updates to the number one main bearing. But despite those changes, failures are still occurring and Toyota is now admitting the previous remedies were not enough. We also discuss whether the 2025 and 2026 Toyota Tundras are actually fixed, what current owners should know, and whether I personally would trust one long term at this point. As always, this is just my opinion as a heavy-duty mechanic who spends a lot of time around trucks and engines every day. Let me know your thoughts below — would you still buy a new Tundra?
