What is this? Some Lexus and Toyota cars made in Japan may have dirty parts inside their engines. Tiny bits left from making the engine can block the crankshaft bearings.
What's happening? These dirty bearings can break. This may cause the engine to make strange noises, run poorly, or stop suddenly while driving.
Does this affect me? If you own a Lexus LX600, Land Cruiser, or Toyota Tundra in Portugal, this could be a problem for you.
What should I do? Take your car to a Toyota or Lexus dealer right away. Ask them to check and fix the engine bearings.
