• The measure affects trucks and SUVs due to potential mechanical failures.

Toyota issued a safety recall affecting 127,000 vehicles in the United States.

The recall responds to a possible engine defect that could cause a loss of power while driving, increasing the risk of accidents—especially when the vehicle is traveling at high speeds.

Toyota Recall: Which Models Are Affected?

The Toyota recall includes Tundra pickup trucks from model years 2022 to 2024, as well as Lexus LX models from the same period and Lexus GX 2024 vehicles.

According to the company, the issue originates from possible machining debris left inside the engine during manufacturing.

These residues may cause engine knocking, difficulty starting, irregular operation, or a loss of power.

The defect affects only conventional gasoline-powered vehicles and does not apply to hybrid models.

In total, 127,000 vehicles are involved in this safety recall across the United States.

Toyota stated that it is already working on a permanent solution and will notify registered owners beginning in January 2026, when scheduled repairs will start at authorized dealerships.

The company confirmed that all repairs will be completely free for affected owners.

How Will The Toyota Recall Affect Owners?

This recall is especially relevant to the Latino community, which represents a large share of Tundra and Lexus vehicle owners.

Many Hispanic drivers use these vehicles for work, transporting tools, or traveling long distances.

A mechanical failure not only poses a safety risk but can also lead to lost income for those who rely on their vehicle as a work tool. Staying informed is therefore essential to avoid more serious complications.

What Toyota Recommends

Owners can check whether their vehicle is included by entering their VIN at Toyota.com/recall, Lexus.com/recall, or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website nhtsa.gov/recalls.

They can also contact customer service directly at:

• Toyota: 1-800-331-4331
• Lexus: 1-800-255-3987

Toyota reiterated that it will notify all registered owners and offer priority assistance to those who use their vehicles for work purposes.

What’s Next

The recall will officially enter the inspection phase in January 2026.

In the meantime, Toyota advises owners to remain alert for any unusual engine noises and not to delay inspection once they receive notification.

Maintaining communication with the dealership will be key to ensuring safety and continuity in daily life amid the Toyota recall.
