Toyota and Hyundai announce recalls

Two major automotive manufacturers recently announced recalls of some of their vehicles.

Toyota: Manufacturing debris

Toyota is recalling certain 2024 Tundra vehicles equipped with a V35A engine. Debris from the manufacturing process may contaminate the engine and cause a main bearing to fail, which can result in an engine stall and loss of drive power. A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

This recall potentially affects 43,566 vehicles. The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 6. Owners may contact Toyota’s customer service at 800-331-4331. Toyota’s numbers for this recall are 25TB14 and 25TA14.

This recall expands previous NHTSA recall numbers 24V381 and 25V767.

Hyundai: Unexpected braking

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2025-2026 Santa Cruz, Tucson, Tucson Hybrid, and Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Electric (PHEV) vehicles. Software in the front cameras may cause the forward collision avoidance system to activate prematurely and unexpectedly apply the brakes. Unexpected braking increases the risk of a crash.

This recall potentially affects 421,078 vehicles. Dealers will update the front camera software. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 17. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 855-371-9460. Hyundai’s number for this recall is 302.
