Toyota trip up.
« on: May 31, 2007, 04:43:48 pm »
Well as most of us know the biggest and most profitable market in the states is Pickup trucks.
Toyota have been making big inroads with the Tundra :



One of the selling points is the legendry Toyota reliability

According to Toyota spokesman Bill Kwong, the automaker was aware back in February that there was a problem with the camshafts in the Tundra's 5.7L V-8.
Failures are being reported in which the camshaft has actually snapped in half and these are very expensive failures.
Given some of the problems that Toyota has suffered recently with engine sludge and other quality shortcomings, it looks like it is seriously considering a quick recall of the trucks to replace the engines.
