akirby Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Quote The carmaker says the recall applies to models “with a specific V35A engine that contains crankshaft main bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the engine assembly while running. Umm…. Doesn’t every engine contain bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the engine assembly? Or are they just trying to explain why debris in the bearings is bad?

DeluxeStang Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 What do you wanna bet that Toyota fanboys still say Toyotas are rock solid and Ecoboost's are garbage despite all the issues turbocharged Toyota's are having? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew L Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 It seems like they cut some serious corners on the Tundra. It's going into its 9th recall and the twin turbo V6 has had issues. In 2007 when the redesigned the Tundra it had a ton of recalls too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
