Toyota is recalling approximately 102,000 trucks and Lexus vehicles, the company announced Thursday.

The Japanese car conglomerate said that the engines in some model year 2022–2023 Tundra and LX vehicles may have machine debris that was not cleared during production.

The debris may cause the engine to knock, run rough, fail to start or lose power, according to the company.

The company said that it is currently, “developing the remedy” for the issue and plans to alert owners of the affected vehicles by late July.

Toyota told the automotive website The Drive that the recall was issued for models “with a specific V35A engine that contains crankshaft main bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the engine assembly while running.”

USA TODAY reached out to Toyota for further comment on Sunday but did not receive a response.
