A major recall has been issued in Canada for a brand of Japanese vehicles over a potentially serious engine problem that could increase the risk of a crash.
Transport Canada says certain vehicles may contain metal debris inside the engine due to a manufacturing issue. The debris could damage crankshaft bearings and lead to rough engine performance, hard starting, engine knocking, reduced power or even an engine stall while driving.
Officials warn that a sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a collision.
The recall affects select 2023 and 2024 Toyota Tundra trucks, along with 2023 and 2024 Lexus LX 600 SUVs and 2024 Lexus GX 550 SUVs equipped with a 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6 engine.
The latest recall replaces an earlier recall issued in 2025 and expands on a previous recall campaign first announced in 2024.
Reports indicate nearly 17,000 vehicles in Canada are impacted by the expanded recall.
Toyota says affected owners will be notified by mail. The company is still developing the final repair procedure for recalled vehicles.
Affected vehicles include:
2023 Toyota Tundra
2024 Toyota Tundra
2023 Lexus LX 600
2024 Lexus LX 600
2024 Lexus GX 550
