2024 Tundra Engine Recall? - Oil Filter Inspection

[@bigdadgo]

Thanks for sharing! I had my 2024 tundra platinum oil changed at 5000 miles instead of waiting until the recommended 10,000. I have had no issues so far, knock on wood! They did include a 10 year 100,000 mile extended warranty and a free maintenance plan to 60,000. So I should be fine.

[@marcprobin1659]

well done, I would never wait for 10k. Those are for perfect conditions and we never get that. I did by first 1k break-in oil change then after that every 5k or 6 months, whichever comes first!

[@TOYOHYPE]

I feel better after watching this! Bought my 2024 Tundra a month ago and it’s running smooth, I have 4k miles on it so far.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Only about one percent of 22s and 23s are actually failing. Domestic V8s have a failure rate of about four percent. Even though this is a major problem for Toyota, it’s still more reliable than any other truck. This will end up being a bulletproof engine in a couple years.

[@stratochief99]

@@4wd4Life-xs3idThe failure rate on the V35A is 0.8% as of right now. Like 834 trucks out of the 102,000 engines recalled. I have a '24 Limited TRD-OR Hybrid with just over 1,000 miles on it. My truck was built in march 2024 and in January 2024, Toyota superseded the part numbers for the short block. I'm not worried about my truck anymore unless it starts running funny.

[@4wd4Life-xs3id]

@stratochief99 That .8% seems low considering some owners have been through two engines in the same truck. Self reported numbers will always be low. The failure rates of GM engines (GM authority) is between 1-2%. Depending on where you measure, the failure rate of every engine is 100%.

You should send a sample out for oil analysis. They can pick up bearing metal that won't be visible. I use Blackstone labs on all my vehicles oil changes and track it over time.

Good suggestion, thank you! I just wanted to know if my Tundra had obvious signs of the reported machining debris left in some 2022 and 2023 engines.

I cut my filter on my 2023 TRD pro just a couple of days ago. Just like your filter only found small amounts of aluminum. This is completely normal for break in of engine. I found a lot more break in material in the filters of my airplane after 10 hours of flight. Tons of particles. I was freaking out! lol two 40k engines. On my next oil change almost nothing. I see Toyota replacing all the engines because no one has x-ray vision to see in the engine. Toyota wants this problem to go away and bring confidence back to the tundra platform. If we don’t get new engines they never will. The owners will have no confidence in the truck and that you’re driving a ticking time bomb. Great video!

[@Lq32332]

That’s a pipe dream. Toyota will probably just offer an extended warranty and replace those that fail. It would be incredibly expensive to replace all these engines.

[@stevemorris6270]

Will see in a month when the repair procedure is release from Toyota. It’s a drop in a bucket for Toyota to replace all the engines. The customers they will lose if they don’t replace them will be a way bigger problem for them. Look up THE CAR CARE NUT he just did a video on why they have to replace them. He was a master technician with Toyota for 20 years. He even talks about a Toyota that they did full long block replacement which they never do. Not worried at all Panama City Toyota hooked me up with a life time power train warranty!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

From what insiders say they will take an oil sample on recalled vehicles and any that have high particulate in the oil will be repaired further. Any at normal levels will be good to go. It's 824 out of 400,000 effected so far, but that number will likely increase over time.

[@stevemorris6270]

[@Lq32332]

@@stevemorris6270 Ya I watched that video too. But there is no way Toyota is going to ship 100k+ engines and pay labor. They will simply fix the ones that break and as the car care nut pointed out, any new engines will have the superseded parts. Also lifetime powertrains are a scam 100% of the time. Read the fine print. They will wiggle out.

[@michaelwas8549]

Have you considered sending a sample to Blackstone? They analyzed the oil in my 2017 4Runner. Everything still looks good at 104k. Good luck with that Tundra.

[@offgridsimplicity]

Thanks for the question. I am not really interested in an oil analysis, I just want to look for metal debris in the filter. Just changed oil at 2100 miles, checked filter again and it’s all good. At this point I am not worried at all : )

[@william6765]

I would change the oil at 1000 miles or for first oil change .

[@offgridsimplicity]

Agreed, I will do that.

[@michaelc8606]

I have a '24 Tundra with 7600 miles on it. And I've owned 5 Toyota pickups over the last 40 years (with zero problems). Naturally, I'm a bit concerned about this issue. But, based on my experience so far, the 2024 is the best pickup I've ever owned.

[@James-ww4mc]

Okay, unless it’s a big piece of metal you won’t see the type of material that’s so small it gets between the bearing and crank! You need to do an oil analysis to determine the condition of the oil!

[@TheColorado4wheeler]

You can clearly see bearing material in an oil filter. Just gonna show you that it's already screwed.

[@itsdarkest]

Don't worry, the 2024s had a part sucession vs the 2023s so they don't have the same mid block with the machining debris, I hope that offers some reassurance.

[@DavidMartin-eh2cn]

So have any hybrids actually failed? Or is it the non hybrid versions only?

[@offgridsimplicity]

Not sure if any hybrids have failed, but the recall is only on the non hybrids. When I last checked there were 75 failures recorded out of 100000 affected recalls. I am really not concerned about by 05/2024 iforce max. I just thought it would be interesting to check the filter for debris.

[@barryhelms7451]

Why do manufacturers put out such tiny oil filters? My 400cc motorcycle uses a filter this size, as well as two screens.

[@offgridsimplicity]

I completely agree, my motorcycles have bigger filters. It could be that this small filter is sufficient for the low viscosity oil used in modern engines. In this case 0W20 weight. I am sure Toyota engineers used data and science to specify the filter surface area needed to meet sufficient filtration needs.

[@lancelemay6971]

Cutting the paper filter media and laying it out flat would have been more definitive than just peeking between the pleats. I’m not sure I would call this a good / unaffected truck just yet but time will tell.

[@iflarnted]

Who was not doing their job on machining debris on those engines?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Looks excellent, nothing to be concerned about there. I'll be doing the same on mine and my sons at 500-1,000 miles also. Just for peace of mind but I hear they actually have changed things on the 24's and only very early ones might be affected if at all.

[@BrianJohns-i5t]

I just purchased a 2024 Limited in late March...which was built with a build date of early March. Yes I read the same thing that Toyota rectified the problem and complete changed engine assembly guidelines and procedures by production date early December 2023. At 600 miles on mine I also drained my oil, sent a Sample out for analysis and opened and inspected the oil filter. Everything looks perfect including the lab results....keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 I'm using pennzoil ultra platinum 5w20 full synthetic and Toyota oil filter...I'll change the oil again at 3000 miles

I think this goes to show that all the online opinions about the demise of the Tundra need to be looked at in perspective. The facts are that we still do not know how many Tundra’s are going to be affected by the engine issues. It may be far less than the click baiters and Toyota haters have alluded to. Toyota will find a solution and make their customers confident about their vehicle’s once more of that you can be sure. I would recommend examining the filter indoors and under a high intensity lights for a more complete picture of any possible metal flakes. You had a great idea with the video content and I hope that other Tundra owners do the same. They might be surprised that the number of affected engines are much lower than initially reported.

I know he's doing all he can, and I appreciate that, but the issue would be what the metal does while it's inside the engine. If it made it into the filter, that's good news, but the damage would happen before the filter had a chance to do it's job.

[@stratochief99]

The oil goes through the filter PRIOR to going into the engine. You are right, it is a good thing if the filter catches it. However, that is happening before it is pumped to the engine. If the filter is catching everything, then nothing gets in there. I hope these particles are big enough for the filter to stop them, but who knows.

[@Chacha12355]

Well, that’s because the oil the Toyota oil filters aren’t that great of a filter to catch particles now they are a good filter for flow. They allow a lot of flow to go through them. A lot of boil, but they’re not that great at catching the little particles so the best way to do it is just drain the oil and the oil pan clean the oil pan before you start and then drain the oil and then the oil pan, I think 24 are also gonna be recalled and the hybrids aren’t being recalled only because they have an alternative alternative motor to get them out of harms away. This is a safety recall, and the hybrid can still move under battery operated power and that’s why it’s not on the recall, but it’s definitely the same motor. It’s gonna have the same issues.

[@wildman1137]

You're not going to see anything until it fails. The "metal debris" is a scapegoat toyota is using to cover up for the real issue, which is the bottom end design. They used cast iron main caps on an aluminum engine block, the two metals expand and contract at different rates. The bearing goes out of round and then it spins and the engine loses oil pressure, resulting in failure.
