A lot of people have been wondering why the Toyota Tundra engine failure recall debris cleaning isn’t being done when the engine is being cast. Why are engineers going to two different plants to try to chase down the problem instead? Toyota Tundra engine failure recall debris cleaning Before we get to the simple reason, let’s first make sure everyone is on the same page. A detailed report was posted yesterday detailing Toyota’s efforts to fix ongoing issues with the 3.4-liter V6 engine catastrophic failures that are under recall. This is part of the second recall impacting 2023-2024 Toyota Tundra […] (read full article...)
 
The ongoing question remains, is any 22+ Tundra safe? Until we get a new engine or a “fixed on xx/xx/xx” with real details on what and how they fixed, you can’t trust the new tundra or Toyota.

I wouldn't think any 22 is safe. it seems intuitive that there is a likelihood of machining debris in the engine. And... without the improved main bearing.... a likelihood that debris will cause the bearing to fail. My hope is they get it resolved and give everyone affected a new engine. Which won't happen. But I think they get it fixed
 
Lots of people speculating that Toyota must have known about these issues when testing the engines. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I bet they were built without machining debris and the bearings held up. The change to the bearing is a response to the fact that they are not sure they have a complete handle on the debris issue and the improved bearing buys them time.
 
Yes, I tend to agree with you, however, Toyota needs to be transparent about when and what they fixed, otherwise many will hold back due to lack of confidence in the tundra.
