Toyota has issued a major recall of its twin-turbocharged V-6 engines powering the 2022 and 2023 Tundra pickup trucks and Lexus LX SUVs. Engines produced between late 2021 and early 2023 might have machining debris left in the engine; causing engine knocks or, worse cases, a spun bearing and complete engine stall. At first, Toyota was unsure how many engines were contaminated, but now, months later, the solution is to replace more than 100,000 engines.

Toyota Issues Massive Engine Recall

A car is an intricate assembly of tens of thousands of parts, from tiny screws and washers to a sometimes massive engine block that can weigh well over 100 pounds. The failure of just one part like an ignition switch or coil wire can disable a car, and some vehicle components like engines and transmissions are made up of dozens or hundreds of even smaller parts. These intricate assemblies require a fascinating synchronicity of those parts to work correctly, as well as proper lubrication.

The 5.9L Cummins diesel engine is best known for its time when it powered Dodge trucks beginning in 1989, and it's an engine that certainly helped propel the Ram into being one of the top pickup truck brands.

There is a perception that a V-patern engine is better in terms of performance and efficiency, but the reality is a straight-six has so many advantages over its V-6 cousin. An inline engine only needs one head, gets by with half the cam shafts, and is easier to cool. I-6 engines also produce more torque at lower speeds and are perfectly balanced, making them quieter with less vibrations. Most importantly, a straight-six is cheaper to manufacture.

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department.
