Toyota recall: 126,691 Tundra and Lexus at risk of engine stall

Fresh automotive news from the United States: Toyota has announced a large-scale recall of 126,691 Tundra and Lexus vehicles due to the risk of a sudden engine stall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that manufacturing debris may have entered some engines, potentially disrupting powertrain operation.

The precise remedy is still in development, and dealers will begin repairs as soon as a final fix is approved. The campaign applies to vehicles built for the U.S. market and will be carried out free of charge.

This development comes amid heightened NHTSA scrutiny of build quality and tougher safety expectations. For Toyota, it marks a second major recall in the U.S. in recent months, a reminder that even brands known for dependability can face uncomfortable spotlight when issues surface—even if the cure turns out to be straightforward.

Owners are advised to check their VIN on the NHTSA website and wait for a notification from the manufacturer.
