I noticed this starting to happen on mine, 4000K miles and 1.2 years old. It due into service in August so I was going to see if they can look at it. In checking some older forum posts some had the body shop put some pads on to keep the "Tailgate Garnish" away from the paint. I think that the...

Yeah I think everyone missed with the TFL issue: 1) Their dealer handled every thing by the book 2) The warranty issues were cleared right away, however the avg owner wont be filming every detail around their failure so its not so much being TFL rather just filming everything. 3) When the...

I looked into the Root cause of the TFL issue with the diff, I guess it was something with they used the wrong MTS mode causing the truck to apply too much toque. They fixed the software to be more user proof and now its not an issue for new owners. The point being here because TFL had the...

I don't think the sky is falling yet., However the problem could be isolated like the Waste Gate Issues, or wind up actually being a big problem like the engine debris issue we don't know yet. What we do know that the owner is having a bad experience which in turn was the catalyst for the first...

My theory was completely wrong, His latest update says that his truck is still sitting at the dealer he surrendered it too.

My take on the whole engine thing. I do think Toyota is honest that debris issue does in fact account for the vast majority of engine failures. I think Toyota is Disingenuous about the Hybrid model, the hybrid is affected in the same way but isn't legally needed to be in the recall. Toyota...

Yeah it got messy, with a lot of Code Of Conduct violations in that thread plus Toyota going hard on the forum owners because threads contained what they claimed were copyrighted materials, mostly boiling down to screenshots of tsbs, parts diagrams, and recall notices to dealers.

My 1/18/2023 build date tundra doesn't come up on any Toyota or non-Toyota website as being involved in the recall. Typically my Toyota app dings it within 1 day of the announcement for the other recalls. The best I could do by poking in random vins I could find of trucks built between Jan 1st...

After the info from the Engine Recall. I kind of wonder if the main reason the truck was brought back, was to take a look at engine bearing for wear as Toyota needed to get non failed engines that were in the population for their testing and research. Keith's truck was problematic, but none of...

I keep seeing CarComplaints website used by several youtubers as which recent year models might have issues, be reliable, etc. However I see over and over its just behind or not updating with NHTSA and thus isn't a great site to use for illustration. It might be good for stuff 3 or more years...

The kicker is the Hybrids are not in the recall, not because they don't potentially have the issue, but because the hybrid system can help you control the vehicle so its not a safety issue!

The NHSTA filing report just became available. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RMISC-24V381-8150.pdf As of May 20, 2024, based on a diligent review of records, Toyota’s best engineering judgements that there are 166 Toyota Field Technical Reports and 824 warranty claims on the engines...

Toyota released a somewhat cryptic recall today for the 2022-2023's for debris left in the engine block during manufacture. https://pressroom.toyota.com/toyota-recalls-certain-model-year-2022-2023-toyota-tundra-and-lexus-lx-vehicles/

Ryan at tundras.com forums created a pretty good Thread on the Tundra MM updates. https://www.tundras.com/threads/official-my22-24-tundra-tundra-hv-21mm-infotainment-head-unit-update-details-updated-4-4-24.139030/ Some issues with the way Toyota handles updates from my perspective: Toyota only...

I think if you do a story or a mention in a podcast, you could mention that there are people having legit failures and the best we can see people that take care of their trucks. The other point that's worth talking about is the cost of an engine replacement people getting quoted 32k and is that...

I think generally the avg owner would like to know if they were affected by something that could give them a higher chance of having an engine failure. What specifically I think Toyota could do better: 1) They should streamline the engine replacement process and develop kits that save parts...

I think the 2nd gen Tundra appealed to those that like simple reliability old school v8 six speed. You brought a 2nd gen Tundra because you wanted a 2nd gen Tunrda. The 3rd gen appeals to those that want a Toyota truck that's bigger and more powerful than a Tacoma but not feel like they are in...

I owned at 2017 Tacoma and now a 2023 Tundra. Basically I feel like the community now is like tacoma was back then. All of these things were rampant in the tacoma forums back then - The old engine/trans was better, it wont last -The quality is worse -Too much new tech in the way Fast forward...

The best the community could find out at the prevailing theory from multiple rumors (Post from anonymous dealer techs etc): There was a shift at the Alabama plant that was improperly cleaning the blocks meaning that some metal shavings may have been left in the oil passages, because of this the...
