In early June, Toyota announced the recall of nearly 100,000 Tundra pickups and about 3,500 Lexus luxury SUVs to fix a problem that could cause their engines to lose power while driving. The solution, it now says, is simply to replace the entire engine on each one of the 103,500 big trucks and SUVs. The vehicles involved are 2022 and 2023 model year Toyota Tundras and Lexus LX 600s. It is unusual, but not unheard of, for an auto manufacturer to have to replace engines in a recall. Last year, Honda recalled 250,000 vehicles for a problem that could, in some cases, result in engines having to be replaced.
