Toyota recalls 43,500 Tundra trucks after engine debris raises stall risk

Toyota is recalling more than 43,000 of its 2024 Tundra pickup trucks because debris left behind during the manufacturing process could contaminate the engine and increase the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The recall affects approximately 43,566 model year 2024 Toyota Tundra vehicles and is listed under NHTSA recall number 26V320, according to the federal safety agency.

NHTSA said debris inside the engine could cause the main bearing to fail, potentially leading to engine knocking, rough running, stalling or a failure to start altogether.

The agency warned that an engine stall could result in a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash, particularly at higher speeds.

The latest recall expands on two previous recalls issued in May 2024 and November 2025 involving certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles with similar engine contamination concerns, according to NHTSA. Those recalls included certain 2022 through 2024 Lexus LX and Toyota Tundra models, along with some 2024 Lexus GX vehicles.

NHTSA’s recall report did not immediately list any crashes, injuries or deaths connected to the issue.

Toyota did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for comment.

According to the recall report, a remedy is still being developed. Owners of affected vehicles are expected to receive notification letters by July 6.

Once Toyota finalizes the repair solution, affected vehicle owners will be able to have the issue fixed free of charge.

Toyota has issued several major recalls in recent months. In March, the automaker recalled more than 550,000 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles over a seat-back locking issue that could increase the risk of injury during a crash. Toyota also recalled roughly 141,000 Prius and Prius Prime vehicles earlier this year over rear doors that could unexpectedly open while the vehicle was moving.

LARRY KUDLOW: Can we really win the Iran war without additional bombing?

LARRY KUDLOW: Hormuz will not stop history

As is always the case, I have great faith in President Trump’s dealmaking, and now he’s trying to put the finishing touches on a war with Iran, which seems to me is basically 90 percent or 95 percent over. Mr. Trump is the only president in the last nearly 50 years with the courage and vision to destroy the radical Islamic regime in Iran, and by and large he has succeeded.

He will not make a bad deal. And he continues to keep his red lines of ending their nuclear capabilities, handing over their enriched uranium, pulling back on their missile programs, and of course reopening the Strait of Hormuz for the freedom of navigation. He holds those red lines in place. The question is, can these red line goals be achieved without a resumption of military action? Surely we don’t want to provide any economic assistance to Iran.

On Truth Social Sunday the president said “The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed.” Good. He also stated clearly that Iran cannot develop or procure a nuclear weapon or bomb. Good.

In other words, no dust, no dollars. This is spot on. The moment we make an Obama-style cash infusion to Iran, they’ll go right out and use it to rebuild their weapons, their nuclear operations, and their state sponsorship of terrorism. They certainly will. Iran is the most gruesome, inhumane, nazi-like regime in the last 100 years.

It’s a modern-day Gestapo that has already reportedly slaughtered well more than 40,000 people this year alone. It must be stopped. And Mr. Trump’s military operations Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury, plus his Economic Fury, guided by Treasury Man Scott Bessent, have virtually taken Iran out and completed the mission.

But in the middle of negotiations, you have Iran trying to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz and firing missiles at American naval ships. So of course we fired back successfully. Yet it just goes to show, this is a crowd that can never be trusted. They lie, cheat and steal as a way of life. They never keep the promises of verification. All largely because they really are not a civilized regime.

Instead, they prefer to negotiate as to how they’re going to negotiate in the future.  Providing lists and conditions that have nothing to do with reality, but extend the talks forever.

Now Mr. Trump knows all this. Yet notwithstanding, he is engaged in intense diplomacy with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or some faction, or somebody there. We’ve gone from a two-week ceasefire, then another week, then indefinite ceasefire. We could be in for another 60-day negotiating phase. Yet with all this, this question must be faced: to make good on his red lines, to properly set the stage for a new era of peace and freedom in the Middle East and around the world, even to extend the Abraham Accords including with Israel, can these noble historic missions really be completed without additional bombing?

Dylan Harper Expected to Play in Game 5 as Spurs Face Thunder in Pivotal Western Conference Finals Showdown

Published

on

Dylan Harper

OKLAHOMA CITY — San Antonio Spurs rookie guard Dylan Harper is expected to be available for Game 5 of the Western Conference finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night, despite an adductor injury that has limited him at times during the series.

Harper, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, has played through right adductor soreness since Game 2 but has been cleared for recent contests. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson indicated Harper would be ready for Game 4, and the latest injury report shows no new limitations for the critical Game 5 matchup with the series tied 2-2.

The 19-year-old has provided valuable minutes off the bench and in starting roles when De’Aaron Fox has been sidelined with his own ankle injury. His ability to step up has been crucial for the Spurs as they push for their first NBA Finals appearance since 2014. Harper’s scoring bursts, defensive versatility and poise under pressure have impressed observers during his rookie postseason run.

The Spurs evened the series with a commanding 103-82 victory in Game 4 on Sunday in San Antonio. Victor Wembanyama dominated with 33 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks, but Harper’s contributions in limited action helped maintain defensive intensity and provide secondary scoring. His availability for Game 5 at Paycom Center will be key as San Antonio seeks to steal another road win and take a 3-2 series lead.

Harper’s injury management has been a careful balancing act. The adductor strain occurred in Game 2, forcing him to miss the remainder of that contest. He returned for Game 3 and played through discomfort, logging productive minutes despite not starting. Medical staff and the coaching staff have monitored his workload closely to avoid further aggravation while maximizing his impact.

The rookie’s emergence has added another dimension to the Spurs’ young core. Drafted to complement Wembanyama’s generational talent, Harper has shown flashes of the two-way potential that made him a top prospect. His ability to create off the dribble, knock down open threes and defend multiple positions has given San Antonio valuable flexibility in the backcourt.

Oklahoma City presents a difficult matchup for any guard. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s scoring and playmaking, combined with the Thunder’s switch-heavy defense, will test Harper’s physicality and decision-making. How the Spurs deploy Harper alongside Fox, when available, or in bench units with Stephon Castle will be a focal point for coach Johnson’s adjustments.

The Western Conference finals have highlighted the physical toll of deep playoff runs. Both teams have navigated injuries, with Harper and Fox dealing with lower-body issues for San Antonio while Oklahoma City has managed its own concerns. Game 5’s outcome could hinge on which side better handles fatigue and maximizes available personnel.

For Harper, the opportunity to contribute in such a high-stakes series at such a young age is remarkable. His composure and willingness to embrace a complementary role have earned praise from teammates and coaches. Wembanyama has spoken positively about the rookie’s work ethic and basketball IQ during the postseason.

The Spurs’ ability to stay competitive despite injuries reflects the depth and resilience built under Johnson. The team has shown it can win in different ways — relying on star power from Wembanyama while getting production from role players like Harper, Castle and Devin Vassell.

Tuesday’s game carries significant implications. A Spurs victory would put them one win away from the NBA Finals and shift pressure back onto the Thunder. Oklahoma City, as the defending champions with home-court advantage, will look to reclaim momentum and avoid falling behind 3-2.

Harper’s potential minutes will be managed carefully. The coaching staff has emphasized smart decision-making regarding his workload to ensure he can contribute without risking longer-term setbacks. His ability to impact the game in shorter bursts has proven valuable in the series.

The rookie’s journey from top draft pick to playoff contributor exemplifies the Spurs’ patient development approach. Selected to grow alongside Wembanyama, Harper has exceeded expectations in his first postseason, providing energy, scoring and defensive versatility when called upon.

As the series shifts back to Oklahoma City, the atmosphere at Paycom Center is expected to be intense. Thunder fans will look to create a hostile environment that disrupts San Antonio’s rhythm. The Spurs have shown resilience on the road throughout the playoffs, responding well after home losses and maintaining focus in challenging venues.

Game 5 represents another test of Harper’s readiness and the Spurs’ adaptability. His presence, even in a limited role, provides another weapon in San Antonio’s arsenal against a Thunder team that has few weaknesses when healthy and clicking.

The Western Conference finals have showcased the best of modern NBA basketball — elite talent, tactical sophistication and emerging stars. Harper’s participation adds another layer to an already compelling series between two young, talented cores.

Advertisement

For the Spurs, advancing to the NBA Finals would mark a remarkable achievement in the early years of the Wembanyama era. For Harper, contributing to that run as a rookie would represent an unforgettable chapter in what promises to be a long and successful career.

As both teams prepare for what could be the most important game of the series so far, all eyes will be on how Harper performs if given the opportunity. His growth and resilience have been impressive, and Tuesday night offers another chance to showcase his potential on basketball’s biggest stage.

The series remains evenly matched and highly competitive. Game 5 has the potential to swing momentum decisively in either direction. With Harper likely available, the Spurs enter the contest with confidence in their depth and belief that they can compete with the defending champions on the road.

Where To Watch Livestream? Morocco vs Burundi Friendly Gives Ouahbi Final Chance to Shape World Cup Squad

YouTube FIFA World Cup 2026

SALÉ, Morocco — Morocco will face Burundi in an international friendly on Tuesday at the Mohammed VI Football Complex as the Atlas Lions continue their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

2026 FIFA World Cup

The match, scheduled for a 4 p.m. local time kickoff and broadcast on Arryadia, serves as one of the last opportunities for coach Mohamed Ouahbi to evaluate players before finalizing his 26-man squad for the tournament. Morocco are drawn in Group C alongside Brazil, Scotland and Haiti, making this a critical phase in their buildup.

Ouahbi, who took charge in March, has used recent friendlies to test tactical setups and player fitness. Morocco drew 1-1 with Ecuador and defeated Paraguay 2-1 in earlier preparation matches, providing valuable insights into squad cohesion and areas needing improvement.

The Burundi encounter comes at a decisive moment. With the final World Cup squad expected to be announced shortly after the game, Ouahbi will be looking for strong performances that demonstrate tactical discipline, physical readiness and attacking quality. The coach has emphasized the need for intensity even in non-competitive fixtures as the team aims to make a strong impression in what promises to be a challenging group.

Morocco enter the match with confidence after their recent results. The squad features a blend of experienced internationals and emerging talents capable of competing at the highest level. Key players are expected to feature as Ouahbi seeks to refine his preferred starting lineup and tactical approach.

Burundi, ranked significantly lower in the FIFA standings, are viewed as underdogs but can still provide a useful test. The East African side is likely to adopt a defensive posture, aiming to frustrate Morocco through compact organization and physical play. For the Atlas Lions, maintaining patience and breaking down a deep-lying defense will be an important focus.

The friendly is part of a broader preparation program that includes additional matches against Madagascar and Norway. These games allow Ouahbi to simulate different match scenarios and assess how players respond under varying conditions. The emphasis remains on building chemistry and ensuring the team is mentally and physically prepared for the rigors of World Cup competition.

Morocco’s presence at the 2026 tournament marks their continued growth on the international stage. The team reached the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, becoming the first African side to achieve that feat. Building on that success while addressing areas for improvement has been a central theme of the current preparation cycle.

The Mohammed VI Football Complex provides excellent facilities for both training and matches. Its modern infrastructure has been instrumental in Morocco’s development as a footballing nation, supporting both the senior team and youth development programs.

For fans, the game offers an opportunity to see the national team in action before the World Cup. Tickets have been in demand, reflecting strong public support for the Atlas Lions as they aim to make another deep run in the global tournament.

Ouahbi’s selection decisions will be closely scrutinized. The coach must balance experience with form, ensuring the squad has the right mix of leaders and dynamic performers capable of handling high-pressure matches against strong opposition like Brazil.

Burundi’s participation provides a competitive yet manageable opponent at this stage. Their defensive approach will test Morocco’s ability to create and convert chances, an area the team has worked on extensively in training.

The friendly also highlights the growing importance of preparation camps in modern football. With the World Cup expanding to 48 teams in 2026, teams like Morocco must maximize every opportunity to fine-tune their strategies and build resilience.

As the match approaches, attention remains on how Ouahbi deploys his resources. Players fighting for final squad places will be motivated to impress, knowing that strong performances could secure their spots in what promises to be a historic tournament for African football.

Morocco’s football federation has invested heavily in infrastructure and player development in recent years. The results are visible in the quality of the current national team and its ability to compete against top international sides.

The Burundi game represents more than just a friendly. It is a dress rehearsal for the challenges that lie ahead in Group C. Success in these preparation matches builds momentum and confidence, both essential for performing well on the biggest stage.

Fans and analysts will watch closely for tactical innovations and individual standout performances. The outcome, while secondary to squad evaluation, will still provide an indication of Morocco’s current form and readiness.

The 2026 World Cup represents a significant opportunity for African teams. With expanded slots and home continent advantage for some matches, the tournament could mark a new chapter in the continent’s football history. Morocco aims to be at the forefront of that progress.

As the clock ticks toward kickoff, the focus in Salé is on preparation, performance and the final pieces of the World Cup puzzle. For Ouahbi and his players, Tuesday’s match is an important step on the journey toward making Morocco proud on the global stage once again.

The game will be followed closely not just in Morocco but across Africa, where national teams draw inspiration from the Atlas Lions’ previous successes. A strong showing against Burundi would send a positive message heading into the final preparation phase.

With the World Cup drawing nearer, every training session and friendly carries added significance. Morocco’s football community remains optimistic about the team’s potential, supported by a passionate fanbase that has backed the Atlas Lions through both triumphs and challenges.

Tuesday’s encounter at the Mohammed VI Complex offers another chapter in Morocco’s ambitious World Cup story. As Ouahbi makes his final assessments, the nation watches with anticipation for what lies ahead in 2026.
