Updated recall materials obtained by Pickup Truck + SUV Talk indicate Toyota has opened two additional remedy phases covering approximately 26,000 Tundras.
The updated remedy-availability chart for Toyota’s 25TA14 campaign lists Phases 3 and 4 as available. Each phase covers approximately 13,000 trucks, giving another group of owners a path to the engine recall remedy.
That is earlier than the schedule in Toyota’s September 17 dealer letter posted by NHTSA, which listed Phase 3 for December 2026 and Phase 4 for February 2027. The obtained chart does not establish the exact date those phases opened.
Two more phases bring the listed available group to 49,000 trucks
The September letter listed approximately 10,000 trucks in Phase 1 and 13,000 in Phase 2, both with the remedy available. The obtained materials now list Phases 1 through 4 as available.
Adding the four groups brings the listed open-phase population to approximately 49,000 trucks, up from 23,000 in the September letter. That is an additional 26,000 trucks eligible for the remedy process, based on the chart’s approximate counts.
Those figures describe the population of the listed phases, not completed repairs or the entire recall population. They also do not tell us how many engines will ultimately need replacement.
Both Phase 3 and Phase 4 list 2023–2024 model-year Tundras. That does not mean every 2023 or 2024 truck is included in those two phases.
An available remedy does not guarantee a new engine
As we explained in our earlier coverage of Toyota’s software-based remedy, Toyota is not promising a replacement engine for every truck in this campaign. Dealers use inspection software to evaluate the No. 1 main bearing and collect available vehicle drive data.
Under the published remedy, Toyota will replace the engine if the software cannot confirm that the bearing will be free of abnormal wear due to the recall condition. The inspection and any required remedy are provided at no charge.
The underlying concern is machining debris that may have remained inside the engine after production. Toyota says the condition can cause knocking, rough running, a no-start condition or loss of motive power. Opening another phase gives owners access to the remedy process; it does not establish how many engines will need replacement.
Check your VIN before assuming your truck is ready
Owners can start with Toyota’s recall lookup, then ask their dealer to confirm the remedy status for their VIN under campaign 25TA14. An open recall and a remedy that is available for a particular vehicle are different things.
Toyota’s published instructions distinguish between vehicles eligible for the remedy and those still in an interim phase. A general chart cannot tell an owner which status applies to their truck, and remedy eligibility does not guarantee an immediate appointment.
Toyota also tells owners experiencing knocking, rough running or a no-start condition to contact their dealer. They should not wait for a future phase date before reporting those symptoms.
The later groups still show 2027 dates
The obtained chart retains the later-phase dates from the September letter: March 2027 for Phase 5, April for Phase 6, June for Phase 7, August for Phase 8 and September for Phase 9. Those are estimated launch dates and remain subject to change.
For owners, the question is straightforward: Can their dealer now perform the remedy on their truck? The updated materials indicate that approximately 26,000 more Tundras have moved into the available group ahead of the previously published schedule.
That is progress for owners in those phases. Owners in later groups still face a wait, and every owner should confirm their individual VIN’s status with Toyota before making repair plans.
