Only around 300 faulty camshafts from one supplier’s production lot are thought to be affected, but dealers will inspect every truck
Toyota is recalling about 62,000 Tundra pickups in the US because a small batch of incorrectly manufactured camshafts could snap while the truck is being driven. Only around 300 camshafts from a single supplier’s production lot are thought to be affected, but every truck in the recall will be inspected.
The recall covers non-hybrid Tundras from the 2022–2023 and 2025–2026 model years. A broken camshaft can cause a loss of power at higher speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will check whether each truck’s camshaft comes from the affected lot and replace it free of charge if so. Owners will be notified by mid-January 2027 and can check their vehicles through Toyota’s recall site or the NHTSA database.
Inspecting 62,000 trucks to find 300 faulty parts suggests Toyota cannot trace exactly which vehicles received the bad lot. The recall also adds to a run of engine problems with the Tundra’s twin-turbo V6, which was recalled in 2024 over machining debris that could cause engine failure.
