Toyota Tundra Recalls

The Toyota Tundra has 93 recalls spanning the 2000 through 2026 model years; the most serious recent issue affects 2022–2024 models where manufacturing debris can cause main bearing failure in the 3.4L twin-turbo engine, potentially stalling the vehicle and cutting drive power while moving.

The current generation, covering 2022 through the present, carries the heaviest concentration of recalls. On the drivetrain side, axle shaft flange nuts on 2022 models can loosen over time and allow one or both axle shafts to separate from the housing, reducing braking performance and stability. A plastic fuel tube on 2022–2023 models can chafe against brake lines and develop a fuel leak, raising the risk of fire. A transmission software issue on 2022–2024 models can allow the vehicle to roll unexpectedly when the transmission is in neutral and the brakes are not applied. The 2023 model year has a separate risk: the chain securing the spare tire under the bed can break and drop the tire onto the road. On 2024 models, both standard and hybrid trims may have assembly-damaged passenger-side tires that can lose pressure suddenly.

Several 2022–2025 camera and display issues cluster together. A software error can prevent the rearview image from appearing when shifting into reverse, and on some 2022 vehicles equipped with a panoramic view monitor the front camera image appears instead of the rear view. A related software fault can cause the instrument cluster display to go blank, hiding speedometer and warning information. Reverse lamp assemblies on 2022–2025 models can also admit moisture and fail, leaving no light signal when backing up. Tonneau covers on 2022–2023 vehicles can shed from the bed at speed, becoming a road hazard. The electronic parking brake on 2022 models can enter a failsafe mode and refuse to engage, allowing rollaway. A 2022 power window switch defect from the 2009–2011 era also appears: the window switch assembly on those earlier models can overheat and melt when its electrical contacts lose lubrication.

From the 2018–2021 era, the headlight circuit on halogen-equipped models can energize both high and low beams at the same time, overheating the electrical connector and creating a fire risk. The electronic stability control system on 2018 models can deactivate due to electrical interference in the power supply circuit. The airbag control unit on 2018–2019 models can incorrectly flag a fault during startup and potentially fail to deploy airbags in a crash. The power steering gear on 2007–2021 models can develop an oil leak that causes a sudden loss of power steering assist.

The 2013–2017 period has two wheel-separation risks: aftermarket lug nuts installed on certain 2013–2017 vehicles with accessory Rockstar or similar alloy wheels can crack and detach, allowing the wheel to come off. On 2014 models, an improperly installed B-pillar trim tab can block side curtain airbag deployment in a crash. A loose passenger knee airbag module on 2016 models, attached with incorrect bolts, can affect airbag performance in a crash. On 2017 models, one rear split bench seat bracket may not have been tightened to the floor, allowing the seat to shift in a collision.

Going back to the 2003–2011 era, the most significant issue is the Takata passenger frontal airbag inflator on
