You say all major auto review mags are say this. I havent seen this from one major auto review mag. Please provide proof of what you are claiming.

2025 GX will be affected, quote from all major auto review magazines

"From the beginning, Toyota’s official stance has laid the blame on internal manufacturing contamination. The company stated that machining debris was left inside the block during production. If this debris migrates, it can damage the engine’s #1 main bearing. According to official documentation, the resulting damage causes knocking, rough running, hard starts or total engine failure, presenting a clear safety risk if a vehicle suddenly stalls at highway speeds.

What makes this latest expansion alarming for both owners and the automaker is that these specific 2024 model-year engines were built after Toyota implemented extra cleaning steps during manufacturing. The company has admitted that despite these enhanced mitigation measures, metal shavings still slipped through the cracks. "

Then explain why the expanded recall only applies to the Tundra and not the GX 550, LX 600, or LC300 if 2025 versions of those models are supposedly going to be affected too?

One thing the GX 550, LX 600, and LC300 all have in common is that they are global export models sold worldwide, not just in the US like the Tundra. If Toyota genuinely believed all 2025 V35A powered vehicles were still affected by the same issue, we would likely be seeing a much broader global recall by now instead of one specifically targeting certain Tundra production ranges.

And another important difference, the GX 550, LX 600, and LC300 engines are built in the Tahara plant in Japan, while the Tundra’s V35A is built in Alabama. Different production environments, different assembly lines, and potentially different manufacturing variables.

Toyota already identified the earlier contamination issue and implemented revised manufacturing and mitigation measures afterward. Even the latest recall documentation only points toward specific Tundra batches, not every vehicle using the V35A engine.

Quoting magazine articles about earlier contamination issues does not automatically prove every 2025 GX, LX, or LC300 is destined for recall.

You are 100% wrong, V35A with the updates #1 bearings are failing.

Saying “updated #1 bearings are failing” without showing actual production data, failure rates, or an official expanded recall for GX 550/LX 600/LC300 doesn’t automatically make you right either.

No engine platform on earth has a literal 0% failure rate. The question is whether there’s evidence of a widespread unresolved defect after Toyota’s revisions and so far, Toyota’s own expanded recall still specifically targets certain Tundra production ranges, not every updated V35A globally.

A few isolated failures being posted online is very different from proving all updated V35A engines are fundamentally defective.
