#1 of 44 Toyota Tundra engines by rsholland May 29, 2007 (6:11 am)
A very small percentage (.0006%) of the new 5.7L engines have experienced camshaft failures according to Automotive News.   http://blogs.edmunds.com/Straightline/2828   Bob Replies to this message: poncho167 (Jun 01, 2007 5:39 am) anythngbutgm (Jun 01, 2007 6:47 am) poncho167 (Jun 01, 2007 10:03 am) and 4 more... exploder750 (Jun 02, 2007 11:54 am) kdhspyder (Jun 04, 2007 12:29 pm)

.067%. Even so, still a pretty tiny number.   Bob Replies to this message: bugchucker (Jun 13, 2007 7:59 am) obyone (Jun 13, 2007 12:38 pm)
#3 of 44 Meh. by anythngbutgm May 30, 2007 (8:39 am)
New engine. Sounds like a supplier issue more than a Toyota issue.   I doubt it'll blow up into some huge catastrophe like the GM piston-slappers or the self-ejecting sparkplug Triton motors but Toyota really needs to reel this one in.   20 reported failures is peanuts, 20 thousand is a nightmare.

what the final numbers are.
#5 of 44 Kudos to Toyota by bakemono May 30, 2007 (8:31 pm)
Give Toyota credit for fixing the issue before it grows into a mass recall. I can think of some other automakers who would have ignore this issue untill it affected a large number of engines. Kudos to Toyota for taking care of their customers.

Replying to: anythngbutgm (May 30, 2007 8:39 am) I wonder if it will be more or less of a catastrophe than the Toyota sludge fiasco. Replies to this message: anythngbutgm (Jun 01, 2007 5:23 am)
#8 of 44 Less by bakemono May 31, 2007 (1:31 pm)
I would say less, much less. 20 failures out of 30,000 engines is a very slight issue. Replies to this message: trucktricks (May 31, 2007 2:11 pm) kcram (May 31, 2007 5:18 pm)
#9 of 44 Re: Less [bakemono] by trucktricks May 31, 2007 (2:11 pm)
Replying to: bakemono (May 31, 2007 1:31 pm) Yeah, but.....   The fact that Toyota is considering a recall suggests that they think the problem might not be so small. Could the 20 failures be the tip of an iceberg? What will happen when more of the 30,000 get additional miles on them?   Only time will tell. Replies to this message: kcram (May 31, 2007 5:18 pm)

Replying to: trucktricks (May 31, 2007 2:11 pm) I agree. Considering the market (the last real American stronghold) and the fact that this is a launch vehicle instead of just a new engine, Toyota can't afford to fall on their face less than 6 months out of the chute. Fast action on all potential engines is the only way to avoid a PR nightmare.   kcram - Pickups Host
