^Non-hybrid 2022-2024s are still the only motors under the recall. If Toyota had fixed this issue then why are late year 2025 models also dying? I haven't heard of a 2026 failure yet but those trucks are still pretty new.

If Toyota wasn't lying about the machining debris, then why did they say machining debris? Anyone that understands the basics about oiling knows that the rod bearings would be the first things seriously affected by debris in the oiling system. Toyota lied to buy time to figure out how to address a more serious design issue. I do not believe that it's just a simple main bearing clearance issue. I think there's an issue with the crank and load. Look at those thrust bearings in the I Do Cars tear down.

The hybrid is not on the recall list because per Toyota, the engine failure does not pose an immediate safety risk because it can still be driven thus not a safety issue and the NHTSA accepts that. That's not to say that they won't replace the motor if it fails.

That Car Care Nut video is closing in on 2 years old and he hasn't seen the I Do Cars tear down. The I Do Cars video has exposed Toyota. There's very good reason why Toyota has been so keen on not letting anyone get a hold of one of these failed motors.
