# Toyota Tundra Recalled Again for Camshafts That May Snap While Driving

[Toyota](<https://www.thedrive.com/category/toyota-news>) is planning a forthcoming voluntary safety recall for certain [Tundra](<https://www.thedrive.com/category/toyota-tundra>) pickups ranging from model years 2022-2023 and 2025-2026. According to a leaked dealer notice sent to *The Drive*, some engines could suffer abrupt camshaft failure, resulting in a total loss of motive power. Concerningly, the memo specifies that improperly manufactured camshafts "could snap during driving."

This recall covers approximately 62,000 vehicles. The affected camshafts supposedly came from one supplier, and an internal document specifies that they were localized in a single production lot. In total, Toyota estimates there to be about 300 affected camshafts, each fitted to cylinder bank one.

Importantly, this recall will not include any hybrid Tundra pickups or Sequoia SUVs equipped with the 3.4-liter, twin-turbo V6. It also does not include any 2024 model-year trucks.

Toyota will notify owners of involved vehicles by mid-January 2027. From there, those Tundra drivers should take their trucks to the dealer for a camshaft inspection to determine whether a replacement is needed. If one of their engine's camshafts is from the affected lot, the dealer will install a new part for free.

This potential issue is not the first for Toyota's V35A-FTS engine. Since the twin-turbo V6 launched in the 2022 Tundra, Toyota has battled problems with manufacturing debris adhering to the number one main bearing. Three expansive recalls stemmed from that issue, involving [more than 270,000 vehicles](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/toyota-turbo-v6-recall-campaign-grows-to-include-more-than-250000-trucks.md>). Toyota initially announced it would [replace every V6 engine](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/toyota-will-replace-over-100000-v6-engines-in-recalled-tundras-lexus-suvs.md>) in trucks recalled for the aforementioned main bearing concerns; however, [the manufacturer has since ordered dealers](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/toyota-wont-replace-every-recalled-tundra-v6-and-some-owners-are-fed-up.md>) to [test each recalled engine](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/hit-it-with-a-hammer-toyotas-actual-official-procedure-for-diagnosing-recalled-v6-engines.md>) to determine whether replacement is necessary.
