Summary
The 2022 Toyota Tundra has 19 recalls, the most serious being axle shaft flange nuts that can loosen and allow one or both axle shafts to separate, causing loss of stability and reduced braking.
A separate drivetrain concern affects trucks with the V35A engine: debris left over from the manufacturing process can damage the main bearings, leading to an engine stall and sudden loss of drive power. The transmission can also allow the vehicle to roll when left in neutral without the brakes applied. On the fuel system side, a plastic fuel tube near the brake lines can chafe against them and develop a leak, creating a fire risk if an ignition source is present. A parking brake software error can prevent the electronic parking brake from engaging at all, allowing an unattended vehicle to roll.
Several recalls cluster around rear visibility: reverse lights on certain vehicles may let moisture in and eventually fail, and multiple software issues can cause the rearview camera to show the wrong image, a blank screen, or nothing at all when backing up. The instrument cluster display can also go blank while driving, hiding the speedometer and warning lights. On trucks equipped with an optional tonneau cover, the attachment joints can loosen and allow the cover to fly off at speed, becoming a hazard for other drivers. A load capacity label on certain vehicles states the wrong weight limit, which can lead to unknowing overloading. Some of these recalls apply only to trucks with specific equipment such as the panoramic view monitor or the 14-inch display.
