It is true?

[Titan671]

I met with a friend who works at Nissan. He told me that there was a recall of all Tundra's because of cam shaft failure in their engines. Does anyone else know if this is true?

Last I saw, they were only admitting to 20 trucks with defective cams.

My friend (Manager at a Chrysler dealership) told me about the announcment as well. Full recall due to cam failures.

Here is an email I received from Toyota Motors today about the cam failure.

A correction was immediately implemented, and we are working to ensure customer satisfaction and confidence in the product by those owners who did experience the failure by replacing the engine.

That's about as sensational as it gets for this story, albeit make no mistake that we are embarrassed by this incident and regret any concerns, worry, even anger experienced by those customers whose engines did fail.

Toyota conducts a very thorough investigation of production anomalies that result in any kind of product performance problem. That's underway now. Once concluded, tmsusa will be happy to report to interested members here any additional information that may be of interest to our customers and other consumers
