2024 Tundra Engine Recall? - Oil Filter Inspection
Переглядів 20 тис.День тому
I am opening and inspecting the oil filter of my 2024 Toyota Tundra. Currently there is a recall for some of the 2022 and 2023 Tundra iForce engines due to metal debris left in the engine block during manufacturing. Inspecting the oil filter for metal debris could tell me if my 2024 engine is affected.

    • @offgridsimplicity
      @offgridsimplicity 15 годин тому

      Yes it is. My theory is that the size (surface area) is sufficient for the very thin oil (0W20). I do trust Toyota to size it correctly. This filter is used in a lot of other cars and trucks.

    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.

    I’m at almost 11k on my ‘23 1794 hybrid, not a single hiccup to mention. I had a ‘22 1794 that was so kindly hit head on, that had just hit 13k, again, with no issues. Both incredible to drive and own. It’s nice to see some reassuring remarks here but I’ve also had no doubt that Toyota would take care of its customers, plus the fact that the number of actual failed engines is tiny. Just don’t go over to Reddit or Facebook unless you want people who don’t even own the trucks to scream in your ear that you have a piece of junk. 🙄

    • @offgridsimplicity
      @offgridsimplicity 8 днів тому

      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.

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

    Watch CarCareNut review few days ago. He did some in depth analysis. They quietly modified short block and long block parts (old part# has been discontinued. They also changed few main bearings in April 2024. Who knows what else they changed!? Basically. I am hoping for a complete engine replacement. New engine in, old engine out. Also, replace turbines, Vince their bearings could have been damaged too. Finally, give us all 200,000 km/miles extended warranty.

  • @Chacha12355
    @Chacha12355 11 днів тому

    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.

    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
      @stratochief99 11 днів тому

      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.

    There isn't a recall on the hybrid *yet* because the hybrid system lets the truck limp to the side of the road when the engine fails. 2024 is not recalled yet to avoid a stop sale. Depending on when yours was made, it might need a new engine. The crankshaft end bearings are bad on all of the engines up until early 2024.

Don't be so cheap and enjoy more life. Focus all the time you are spending on thinking the issues your new truck has on how to generate more money and add more business to your life so you don't have to be worry about all these things.
