The engine lost power and shut down at highway speeds which put myself and a passenger at risk for a crash. There were no warning lights or other symptoms before the engine shut down. After pulling the vehicle over to the side of the road, I attempted to restart the engine. The engine failed to turn over and start. The truck towed into a local dealership and is waiting inspection.

I have a 2024 Hybrid Toyota Tundra Equipped with V35-A- FTS 3.4 L Twin- Turbo V6. This motor is the same engine as the non hybrid motors included in the recall. There was recently a defect information report sent out on May 20th 2026 from Toyota stating that there is an issue with the main #1 bearing and the newer motors are now being installed with upgraded new bearing indicating that all motors, hybrid or non hybrid prior to August of 2024 have this defect that could cause engine failure. The only reason this motor is not included in recall is Toyota saying that it not a safety issue because of the electrical motor is sufficient to get it off the road. I tow a boat and various trailers and feel like at highway speeds in traffic a failure of the main engine, with very limited assistance from electrical motor could cause a potential serious crash leading to serious injury or death. I am filing this to ask NHTSA to do the right thing and have Toyota to expand the recall and include the Hybrids as it will only be a matter of time before before something will happen.

2024 Toyota Tundra experienced a serious safety event. While travelling on the highway at 60mph speeds in traffic when the truck suddenly blinked a loss of steering warning light then immediately blinked engine failure warning light. The truck lost power and the engine completely shut down in traffic going down a long, steep hill. I was able to reach the bottom and pull over but the truck would not restart. I had to have the truck towed to a Toyota dealership near my home.

THIRD RECALL - Just Issued May 20, 2026 NHTSA Campaign 26V320000 43,566 additional vehicles (2024 Tundras including mine) Brings total recalled to 272,566+ vehicles Remedy status: "Currently under development" Two years and three recalls later, Toyota STILL has no proven fix The Pattern: First Recall (24V-381) - May 2024: 102,000 vehicles (2022-2023) Second Recall (25V-767) - November 2025: 127,000 vehicles (added 2024s built AFTER Toyota claimed fix) Third Recall (26V-320) - May 2026: 43,566 MORE vehicles, still no remedy Toyota is slow-rolling the true scope while claiming each time they've "identified all affected vehicles." MY OIL ANALYSIS - Objective Evidence of Bearing Damage Blackstone Labs analysis at 5,500 miles (July 2024): At just 5,500 miles, my engine was already showing 3-6x elevated bearing wear. Significance: This was done before any recall was announced for my truck (independent documentation of defect) Proves debris causes measurable damage even at very low mileage I'm now at 15,000+ miles approaching the 20k-30k failure range Toyota has provided zero guidance about damage progression Attached: Full Blackstone Labs report TOYOTA'S SMOKING GUN ADMISSION Before I did this oil analysis, I called Toyota customer service to ask if my 2024 truck was affected in the first traunch of recalls. They told me my vehicle was manufactured 5 months AFTER the issue was discovered and that my truck was not affected. Then in December of 2025 a second recall and now mine is in that recall. Toyota admits they discovered the contamination problem, then continued building engines with the same defect for at least 5 more months before my truck was built. This wasn't an oversight—this was deliberate production and sale of defective engines while publicly claiming the issue was due to machining material left in the block.

I have a 2024 Hybrid Toyota Tundra which shares the same engine that has undergone a NHTSA recall. I do not believe that the defect has been satisfactorily addressed to mitigate the risk of catastrophic engine failure in the V6 engine. I would like the recall to include the hybrid models as well for this well known and documented engine failure risk. I have not yet had any problems with the engine yet and am addressing the other separate recalls for this model. From a safety and liability perspective, I feel that Toyota has an obligation to provide the same warranty extension assurance and if needed, engine replacement as the gasoline only variant.
