Buying a used 2019 Toyota Tundra? Check these 10 recalls first
Ten recalls, including the same two critical items as 2018 — headlight wiring that can overheat and cause a fire, and a leaking steering part. This year adds a second fuel pump recall on top of the first, plus airbags that may not deploy and possible loss of power steering assist. Several label recalls are routine. NHTSA shows 72 owner complaints — unverified reports — led by fuel/propulsion and electrical, with 4 crashes, 2 fires and 7 injuries.
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.
- Ask which of the two fuel pump recalls were performed, not just one
- Confirm the headlight wiring and steering fluid leak recalls are closed
- Verify the airbag and power steering assist recall work on the service 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.
