34 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The sticker inside your door that tells you how much weight your vehicle can safely carry shows the wrong numbers. It was added after the truck or SUV was built to account for extra equipment, and the added-weight figure printed on it is inaccurate. If you trust that label when loading people, cargo, or towing gear, you could put more weight in the vehicle than it was designed to handle.
Some 2024 Toyota Tundra pickups with the V35A engine may have leftover debris from the factory inside the engine. That debris can wear out a main bearing, a part the engine needs to turn smoothly. If the bearing fails, the engine can quit while you are driving and the truck loses power. Dealers will check the bearing using inspection software and driving data, and replace the engine if needed, free of charge.
On many recent Toyota and Lexus models, the sticker that tells you how much added weight the vehicle can carry shows incorrect numbers. That label is what owners use to judge how many passengers plus how much luggage, gear or cargo is safe to load. Because the figures are wrong, you could load the vehicle heavier than it is built to handle without realizing it. The dealer replaces the label free.
Some 2024-2025 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks with the Panoramic View Monitor camera system may not show the backup camera picture when you shift into reverse. Without that picture you cannot see a small child, a pet, or an object sitting directly behind the truck while you are backing up. A dealer will update the parking assist software for free. Toyota began mailing owner notification letters in March 2026.
Small bits of leftover material from the factory may be inside the engine. That debris can damage the main bearings, which are the parts that let the engine's crankshaft spin smoothly. If a bearing fails, the engine can shut off while you are driving and you lose the ability to accelerate. A dealer will check the number one main bearing using special software and driving data, and if there is a problem, they will replace the entire engine at no cost to you.
A software error can keep the backup camera picture from showing up on the center screen when you shift into reverse. Without it, you cannot see children, pets or objects directly behind the truck, and these vehicles no longer meet the federal rear-visibility rule. A dealer will update the multimedia display software free of charge, with no parts involved. Toyota mailed owner letters on November 19, 2025, so you can book the repair now.
Water can get into the housings for your truck's reverse lights — the white lights that come on when you shift into reverse. Moisture inside can make one or both lights stop working. Without them, it's harder for you to see behind you at night, and people walking or driving behind you don't get the usual signal that you're about to back up. Your dealer will replace both reverse light assemblies and fix the wiring if needed, at no cost.
The front and rear tires on the passenger side may have damage on the inner sidewall, which is the part of the tire facing under the vehicle where it is hard to see. Damage in that spot can let a tire lose its air all at once rather than going down slowly. A sudden flat while you are moving can pull the vehicle to one side and make it hard to control. A dealer will inspect the tires and replace any that are damaged.
These Toyotas were sold with accessories added through Gulf States Toyota. When accessories are added, a sticker is supposed to be placed on the vehicle showing how much less weight it can now carry in people and cargo. On these vehicles that sticker shows the wrong numbers. If you go by it, you could load the vehicle heavier than it is rated for. Gulf States Toyota is mailing corrected labels to owners at no charge; nothing on the vehicle needs repair.
Leftover debris from the factory may be inside the engine of these trucks and the Lexus LX600. That debris can damage the main bearings, the parts the crankshaft spins on, and if a bearing fails the engine can shut off while you are driving. You would lose engine power, possibly in traffic or at highway speed, which makes a crash more likely. Toyota dealers will replace the entire engine at no cost to you.
When the vehicle is in neutral and no one is pressing the brake pedal, it may move on its own unexpectedly. The vehicle can creep or roll when you expect it to sit still, and that can lead to it hitting something or someone nearby. There is no part to replace: the dealer reloads the software in the computer that controls the transmission, free of charge. Toyota's notice covers the Lexus LX600 under this same campaign as well.
There is a sticker on your Tundra that tells you how much weight the truck can safely carry once passengers and cargo are added up. On these trucks that sticker shows the wrong number. If you trust it and load up to that figure, you could end up carrying more weight than the truck and its tires are built to handle. Nothing is mechanically broken. The distributor will mail you a corrected sticker to put in place of the wrong one.
These trucks were fitted with a sprayed-in bed liner, which adds weight. When an accessory like that is added, a label in the vehicle is supposed to be updated to show how much weight the truck can still safely carry. On these trucks, that label shows the wrong number. If you load the truck based on the label, you could put more weight in it than it should carry. Dealers will replace the label free of charge.
A plastic fuel line runs close to the metal brake lines underneath the truck. The two can rub against each other, wearing through the plastic line and letting gasoline leak out. Leaking fuel near anything hot or anything that sparks can start a fire. The dealer's repair adds protective material and a clamp so the fuel line can no longer rub on the brake lines, at no cost to you. Owner letters were mailed November 6, 2024.
Toyota is recalling certain 2023 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid, and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles. The spare tire hangs underneath the back of the vehicle on a steel chain, and on these vehicles that chain may not have been welded well enough. A weak weld can break, which would let the spare tire come loose and fall off while you are driving. Dealers will replace the whole spare tire carrier for free. Owner letters were expected to be mailed August 14, 2023.
Some Tundra and Tundra Hybrid pickups were fitted with a Toyota accessory tonneau cover, the cover that closes off the truck bed. The joints holding that cover to the truck can loosen, and the cover can come off. A cover that separates while you are driving turns into an obstacle in the road for drivers behind you. Dealers will install new mounting hardware, and if the cover is torn or split at the mounting holes, they will replace the whole cover.
A software error in the display unit on some 2022-2023 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks can make the screen directly in front of the driver go blank. When that happens you cannot see how fast you are going, and you will not see the warning lights that tell you something is wrong with the truck — like low oil pressure or a brake problem. The dealer fixes it with a free software update.
Every truck carries a sticker showing how much weight it can still carry after dealer-added accessories. On some 2023 Toyota Tundras with a sprayed-in bedliner, that sticker understates how much the added accessories actually weigh, so it overstates how much cargo and how many passengers you can still load. Following the number on the sticker could put you over the truck's real limit. Gulf States Toyota is mailing owners a corrected label free, with no dealer visit needed.
A control unit that manages the brakes on these 2022 Toyota Tundras can wrongly decide the electronic parking brake is drawing too much electricity. When that happens, it shuts the parking brake down as a precaution and you cannot set it, even with the truck in park. With nothing holding the truck in place, it could roll away on its own. A dealer will reload the control unit with corrected software at no charge.
These trucks have a camera system that shows different views of the area around the truck. Because of a programming mistake in the control unit, the screen may show the image from the front camera instead of the rear camera when you shift into reverse. That means the display may not show what is actually behind you while backing up. The fix is a software update to the parking-assist computer, done free at the dealer.
The nuts holding the rear axle shafts in place can work loose over time. If they loosen enough, one or both axle shafts can pull away from the axle housing. When that happens, the truck can become unstable and the brakes may not work as well as they should. The dealer will check the rear axle, tighten the nuts to the correct setting, and replace any damaged axle parts if they find them. All of this is done at no cost to you.
These 2022 Tundras have the all-around camera system. In cold weather, a software glitch in the parking computer can stop the backup camera picture from reaching your screen. When you shift into reverse, you may see nothing at all. Without that view you cannot spot a child, a pet, or an object right behind the truck, which makes backing into something more likely. Dealers will reload the software; no parts need replacing.
This recall covers replacement power steering gear assemblies that were sold and installed on Tundra and Sequoia trucks and SUVs. Some of these parts were built wrong and can leak power steering fluid. If enough fluid leaks out, the steering can suddenly become very heavy and hard to turn while you are driving. Toyota dealers will inspect the part and put in a new steering gear at no charge to you.
The power steering gear — the part that makes the wheel easy to turn — may have been built incorrectly at the factory, so its oil can leak out. If enough oil escapes, the steering can suddenly get much harder to turn while you are driving, which can catch you off guard in a turn or at speed. A dealer will inspect the part and replace it for free if needed. Owner letters were mailed in January 2022.
On these Tundra pickups, the headlight circuits can send power to the high beams and the low beams at the same time. They were never meant to run together, and the extra electrical load can make the connector behind the headlight get very hot. An overheated connector can start a fire. At the dealer, the engine wiring harness is modified, and any bulb, bulb connector, or headlight assembly already damaged by the heat is replaced. All of this is free.
The fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and pushes gasoline to the engine. On these vehicles that pump can fail. If it does, the engine can stall — shut off — while you are driving, including in traffic or at highway speed. The recall covers a long list of Toyota and Lexus cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. Your dealer will replace the fuel pump assembly with an improved version, free of charge.
On trucks built with LED headlight assemblies, the wiring for the front turn signals was put together incorrectly. The bulbs still light up, but they do not shine as brightly as they should. That means drivers around you may not notice when you signal a turn or switch on your hazard flashers, especially in daylight. A dealer will change the wiring that feeds the front turn signal bulbs so the lights flash at full brightness again.
The fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and pushes gas to the engine. On these Toyota and Lexus vehicles, that pump can fail. If it fails, the engine can stall, meaning it shuts off while you are driving. A stall in traffic leaves you without power and can lead to a crash. This recall started in January 2020 and Toyota expanded it twice in March 2020, adding some model years and removing others, so the covered list changed. A dealer replaces the pump at no charge.
Every vehicle has a sticker, usually in the driver's door opening, that tells you how much weight it can safely carry, including passengers and cargo. On these vehicles the printing on that sticker can fade until you cannot read it. If you cannot see those numbers, you may load the vehicle heavier than it was built to handle, which can affect how it steers, brakes, and wears its tires. The dealer will give you a corrected replacement label.
Some 2019 Toyota Tundra trucks with a spray-in bed liner got a sticker showing the wrong maximum load. The number was calculated incorrectly, so the label says the truck can carry more weight in people and cargo than it actually should. If you load up to the amount on that sticker, the truck ends up carrying more than it is built for, and an overloaded truck is more likely to be in a crash. Toyota mailed owners a corrected label to replace the wrong one.
There is a sticker in these 2018-2019 Tundras that tells you how much extra weight you can carry after accessories were added. Because the all-weather floor mats were accidentally counted twice, the sticker claims 10 pounds more capacity than the truck actually has. Nothing on the truck itself is broken or worn out; only the printed number is wrong, and that makes the label fall short of federal labeling rules. Toyota is mailing every owner a corrected sticker.
The computer that controls the airbags runs a self-check every time you start the vehicle. On these Toyotas, that check can wrongly report a problem. When that happens, the computer may not set off the airbags in a crash, which is exactly when you need them. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet federal rules for crash and side-impact protection. Dealers fix it by loading new software into the airbag computer, at no cost to you.
These trucks and SUVs have a stability system that brakes individual wheels on its own to keep you from sliding or spinning in a slippery turn. Electrical interference in the power wiring can switch that system off. You may not notice anything is wrong until you're in a situation where the system should have helped and it doesn't. A dealer updates the vehicle's software. Toyota later replaced this recall with 18V-685, whose software covers this repair too.
These trucks and SUVs left the factory with an incorrect sticker showing how much weight the vehicle can safely carry. The label itself does not break anything, but if you trust the wrong number you could put in too many people, too much cargo, or too heavy a load. An overloaded vehicle is harder to steer and stop and puts extra strain on the tires, which raises the chance of a crash. Toyota is mailing owners corrected labels free of charge.
