2003 Toyota Tundra Recalls

The 2003 Toyota Tundra has 6 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side frontal airbag inflator that can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, risking serious injury or death.

All five of the top recalls address this same inflator defect, with some filings specifically targeting vehicles that spent time in high-humidity coastal regions such as Florida, Hawaii, the Gulf Coast, and U.S. territories, where moisture accelerates the problem. A failed inflator can also damage the airbag module itself, potentially preventing deployment in a future crash.

The remaining recall is a compliance issue: the front passenger seat has a manual airbag on-off switch but lacks the lower anchor points required for securing a child restraint seat, meaning the seating position does not meet federal child restraint anchorage standards.
