I stopped by Tundra Solutions today and read few complaints of the new 5.7L motor having cams problem. Perhaps it would be a great time to visit the trash bins. I heard Toyota is replacing the how engine instead of repairing it. Here is PR messege from Toyota Headquarter USA
Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc.
The engines are made at our facility in Alabama. We're continuing to investigate this issue so that we may isolate any units that could still be affected, if possible. However, you should know that the camshaft problem was discovered very early in the Tundra production system and corrected immediately. We're aware of 20 vehicles that have experienced the camshaft failure and have or are in the process of replacing the engines in these units.
Although the number of affected Tundras is very small, we very much regret that even one of our trucks was manufactured with a camshaft processing flaw and certainly any inconvenience caused to our customers.
The Toyota engineering, development and manufacturing processes applied to this new truck are among the most rigorous ever for our company. Nonetheless, when unforeseen problems do pop up, the very same processes also identify them as quickly as possible so that we can implement countermeasures pronto and minimize the impact.
We're committed to building the finest automobiles and trucks on the road today and fulfilling the expectations of our customers that come with that. Hopefully this response gives you dome degree of assurance that we stand by our high quality and customer service pledges and will work tirelessly to ensure that we fulfill those for our new Tundra owners.
BTW, our Toyota Customer Experience specialists are available to answer other questions about the Tundra or any of our products for that matter. They may be reached by calling
