Toyota Tundra Recalled Again: Camshafts Could Break While Driving

A new Toyota Tundra camshaft recall covers approximately 62,000 U.S. trucks after Toyota identified a manufacturing problem that could cause a camshaft to break while driving. The concern is a sudden loss of propulsion and a higher crash risk.

Toyota announced the recall November 13. It is separate from the manufacturing-debris problem behind earlier Tundra engine recalls.

Which Toyota Tundra trucks are included?

The new campaign involves certain non-hybrid 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026 Tundras. Toyota’s announcement excludes the 2024 model year and hybrid trucks.

Toyota estimates about 300 suspect camshafts from one supplier production lot may be installed within the recalled population. That does not mean 62,000 engines have failed.

This is not the earlier main-bearing recall

In its May 2026 recall announcement, Toyota described machining debris that could damage the No. 1 main bearing. That campaign covered approximately 44,000 non-hybrid 2024 Tundras and followed similar recalls announced in May 2024 and November 2025.

We previously covered the expanding availability of Toyota’s Tundra engine-recall remedy. Owners should not treat the new camshaft campaign as another name for that earlier issue.

What owners should do

Dealers will inspect the camshaft and replace it free if it may belong to the affected lot. Toyota plans to notify owners by mid-January 2027.

Check your VIN through Toyota’s recall lookup or NHTSA. Toyota customer support is available at 800-331-4331.

My takeaway: Keep the two problems separate, but do not dismiss a new notice because an earlier engine recall has already been addressed. Checking the specific truck is more useful than assuming every Tundra of a given year has the same problem.
