Toyota’s 500M Problem: Dealer Says If 50 Owners Come To His 4 Stores He Doesn’t Know How To Handle

From Torque News.

Toyota is gearing up to replace a staggering number of over 100,000 engines in Tundra pickups and Lexus LX SUVs due to a new recall in December. If you own a 2022 or 2023 Tundra pickup, brace yourself for a potentially lengthy wait.

Toyota says they are prepping their dealers now as they prepare to replace more than 100,000 engines and the task won’t be easy.

A report from Automotive News (by subscription) says, "With each engine replacement requiring 13 to 21 hours to complete, dealerships must manage workflow so service bays remain available for other warranty and customer work. They’ll also have to ensure they have the right loaner cars available. For example, a Corolla won’t do for a customer using a Tundra for work."

It’s Toyota’s most extensive and most expensive recall in history.

Toyota has to replace the defective engines with new ones. Each engine replacement will require between 13 to 21 hours to complete. With 100,000 engines being replaced, a long line of customers will be waiting to get the work done.
