5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2024 Tundra draws complaints spread across the engine, powertrain, and fuel/propulsion systems. Engine complaints are the most numerous, with owners describing sudden shutdowns at highway speeds, the truck loses power unexpectedly and prompts an immediate pull-over warning on the dashboard. Powertrain complaints center on throttle hesitation from a stop, where the drivetrain delays responding to accelerator input for up to a second, making timing gaps in traffic harder to judge. A smaller but notable cluster of fuel and propulsion complaints rounds out the top three systems, though the specific symptoms reported there vary. A handful of owners also mention brake noise at low speeds, particularly in reverse. The rolling-vehicle behavior described in at least one report, where the truck began moving downhill after being parked and shut off, appears isolated rather than a recurring pattern across the complaint set.

By System
The 2024 Toyota Tundra has 12 recalls, the most serious involving passenger-side tires that may have been damaged during assembly and can lose air pressure suddenly, raising the risk of losing control.
A separate tire recall covers the same passenger-side front and rear positions but specifically flags inner sidewall damage as the failure point, with the same result: sudden pressure loss and potential loss of vehicle control. These tire concerns affect both standard and hybrid models. On the drivetrain side, two recalls address the V35A engine: manufacturing debris can contaminate the main bearings, causing them to fail and the engine to stall without warning, cutting drive power while the vehicle is in motion. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue across all affected vehicles, which is why it appears across multiple filings. There is also a transmission concern where the vehicle can roll unexpectedly when left in neutral without the brakes applied, which applies to both Tundra and Tundra Hybrid configurations.
Rear visibility problems account for several recalls grouped together. A software error can cause the rearview camera to go blank or freeze when the transmission is shifted into reverse, leaving the driver without a view of what is directly behind the vehicle. This issue affects models equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor system, and prior software remedies did not fully address it across all affected vehicles. The reverse lights themselves are also affected: moisture can get into the light assemblies and cause them to fail, removing a key signal to pedestrians and other drivers that the truck is backing up.
Rounding out the list, three separate label recalls cover vehicles with incorrect load capacity markings
