Toyota to Replace Engines in Tundra Trucks and Lexus SUVs

Toyota to Replace Engines in Tundra trucks and Lexus SUVs sue liability lawyer

In early June 2024, Toyota issued a recall that affected approximately 100,000 Tundra pickup trucks and 3,500 Lexus LX 600 luxury SUVs. The recall affects the following vehicles:

  • 2022 Toyota Tundra
  • 2023 Toyota Tundra
  • 2022 Lexus LX 600 (gas only)
  • 2023 Lexus LX 600 (gas only)

According to the recall, debris from the manufacturing process may have been left inside some engines, resulting in rough running, knocking, and stalling while driving; in some cases, engines could completely lose power while driving.

On July 31, 2024, Toyota released their solution: replacing the engines on all the affected vehicles. This replacement is being offered free to consumers and is to be completed by Toyota dealers. Although this might seem like a great solution for those who were not really struggling with the defective engines, it might not be enough for those who have been struggling with the defective engines for many months or even years and have spent their time and money looking for a repair.

If you are among the consumers who have been struggling with the defective Toyota engines, you might be looking into other options, such as pursuing a lemon law claim. If you are interested in learning more about your right to file a lemon law claim and get a replacement vehicle or a vehicle buyback, contact the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible.

A Summary of the Lemon Law

The term “lemon law” refers to two separate laws that actually work together to protect consumers. These two laws are the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and the Tanner Consumer Protection Act. Under these laws, consumers with defective vehicles can pursue claims to either get a full refund or a replacement vehicle. To meet the definition of a lemon, vehicles must still be under manufacturer warranty, have undergone a reasonable number of repair attempts for the same issue, and must have a defect that affects use, value, or safety. The lemon law applies to both leased and financed vehicles. For more information about the lemon law and your right to pursue a claim, contact us today.

Can I File a Lemon Law Claim?

Yes – you could have the right to file a lemon law claim, given that your vehicle meets the definition of a lemon. You can pursue a claim based on the protections granted to consumers under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and the Tanner Consumer Protection Act. If you would like to learn more about the legal options available to you under the California lemon law, contact us today.

What Remedies are Available for Lemon Law Claims?

This is a very common question. It is important to note that every claim is different and can result in different remedies and claim outcomes. In general, the remedies available for lemon law claims can include the following:

  • All legal costs incurred will be covered by the auto manufacturer
  • A reimbursement for any out-of-pocket costs, including costs for towing, rentals, or repairs, etc.
  • A vehicle buyback, which means that the manufacturer will repurchase the vehicle for full purchase price, including taxes and other fees
  • A vehicle replacement, meaning that the manufacturer will replace the vehicle for one of equal or similar value
