Buying a used 2018 Toyota Tundra? Check these 9 recalls first
The 2018 Toyota Tundra has 9 recalls in this group. Headlight-wiring overheating stands out, with additional concerns involving airbag nondeployment, fuel-pump stalling, steering leaks, and stability-control deactivation. Dim turn signals and load-label corrections round out the record. Its 99 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including electrical system 26, service brakes 22, fuel/propulsion system 16, and vehicle speed control 14. Reported outcomes include 4 crashes, 3 fires, and 6 injuries; these are not verified causal findings.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Request headlight-wiring, airbag, and fuel-pump recall records.
- Have steering components checked for leakage and recall completion.
- Ask about braking or speed-control problems and repair history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
