Buying a used 2021 Toyota Tundra? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 24 owner complaints on file

The 2021 Toyota Tundra has 3 recalls in this group, covering headlight-wiring overheating and power-steering leakage concerns. The wiring issue carries the critical designation, making documented repair particularly relevant. NHTSA lists 24 owner complaints, which are unverified reports. The supplied categories include unknown or other 6, electrical system 4, seats 4, and visibility/wiper 3. The record includes 1 reported crash, 1 fire, and 1 injury, but those reports do not establish that a recalled defect caused the outcomes.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Request documentation of the headlight-wiring recall repair.
3. Verify steering recall completion and inspect for fluid leaks.
4. Check seat operation, wipers, and reported electrical repairs.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
