The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a local dealer for maintenance, where it was discovered that the vehicle had an oil pressure failure.

Filed Sep 10, 2026 · Acceleration, Fuel system · CO

On September 1, 2026, my 2022 Toyota Tundra experienced a serious loss of accelerator response while I was leaving a gas station and entering traffic. I pressed the accelerator, but the truck provided effectively no acceleration, leaving me partially in the roadway. An approaching vehicle had to swerve into the opposing traffic lane to avoid a collision. I had experienced a similar low-speed loss of accelerator response within the prior two weeks. On September 2, while traveling on I-70 at approximately 70 mph, the truck experienced a separate loss-of-power event. Engine RPM dropped considerably and the vehicle felt as though it were coasting. I pressed the accelerator firmly, but it did not respond normally for approximately 5-10 seconds before power returned. Radar/adaptive cruise control was not engaged. I immediately took the truck to Western Slope Toyota. Technicians checked for codes, performed multiple road tests and recorded vehicle data but could not reproduce the intermittent failure. The issue was escalated to Toyota technical assistance under TAS Case 262460664. This problem has been documented by Western Slope Toyota since 2023. Toyota's applicable TSB repairs were performed on prior occasions in an attempt to correct the throttle/hesitation problem, but they did not resolve it. In 2025, the dealer again documented the condition after the earlier TSB had already been performed. According to the September 2026 repair documentation and my discussion with the Western Slope Toyota service manager, Toyota's specialist technical team is aware that the condition can remain despite the TSB work. The repair order states that Toyota identified a known hesitation concern that remains under investigation and that there was no repair to be made at that time. The condition is intermittent and unpredictable and can cause loss of accelerator response or motive power at low and highway speeds. I believe it creates a serious crash risk. Current mileage: 58,735.

This is a follow-up to my the federal safety agency 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 the federal safety agency 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 carry a new 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty starting from the June 22, 2026 install date, or only the remainder of my original factory warranty? A safety recall remedy that leaves the owner without documented knowledge of what protection they actually received is, in my view, an incomplete remedy under 49 CFR Part 573's recordkeeping and notification requirements. Owners should not have to chase this down themselves months after the repair. 3. A second, broader recall may or may not apply to my replacement engine, and Toyota has not said which. the federal safety agency Campaign 25V767000 (Toyota internal 25TA14, filed 2025-11-06) expands the same underlying defect population to additional 2022-2024 Tundra, Lexus LX, and 2024 Lexus GX vehicles, with a remedy of inspecting the #1 main bearing via inspection software and INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF I

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 the federal safety agency 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 mechanical failure. The vehicle has driven approximately 16 months since the March 2025 replacement. I am demanding that Toyota provide a permanent remedy using the updated, structurally revised 2026 engine components. It is at the Toyota dealer.

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 the federal safety agency 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 my rights and available remedies given that the engine replaced under the safety recall has now failed, including whether this repeat failure may qualify for additional manufacturer remedies or protections under applicable warranty or state lemon law.
