Fresh automotive news from the U.S.: Toyota has announced a major recall involving 126,691 Tundra and Lexus vehicles because of a potential engine stall. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), metal debris may have been left inside the engine during manufacturing, which could interfere with its operation.

The issue comes at a time when NHTSA is increasing oversight of manufacturing quality and tightening safety standards. For Toyota, this marks the second major U.S. recall in recent months, making the news particularly significant for the brand.
Owners are advised to run their VIN through the NHTSA website and wait for an official notification from Toyota.
