2023 Toyota Tundra

The vehicle is affected by a manufacturer safety recall # 25TB14 related to the engine. A loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds can increase the risk of a crash. Because of this I have stopped driving the vehicle. According to the recall, The manufacturer has stated that the fix will require replacement of the engine assembly, but the remedy is not yet available and no expected remedy or repair time is given. The vehicle has been inspected by a dealer, who confirmed that the recall applies but could not perform a repair, provide a timeline, or confirm that the vehicle is safe to drive while waiting for the remedy. The manufacturer acknowledged a manufacturing defect and the possibility that the issue could occur without warning. There is no clear safety guidance from the manufacturer, and no loaner vehicle provided. The concern also remains that the vehicle could unexpectedly lose power or stall, putting the driver and others at risk.

My Tundra has been having lagged throttle after takeoff for a few months now going into 2026. My truck is slightly over 50k Miles and did well for the first 40k Miles. Last week it went limp and gave a loss of Power Warning and Check engine light came on. Then the very next day a parking brake assist warning came on. I brought it to the dealer and after 4 days they couldn't replicate the warning light but seen that the Turbo had failure. They said they could not change the Turbo since theres an active Engine recall on my truck. My truck is sitting at the dealer with no committed date or fix for when my engine will be replaced. Not sure what to even do as im paying on a truck i cant even drive. Aside from this major issue ive had two window motors replaced and a non working hamstring leg rest motor. They instead offered to sell me a new 2026 which felt sleazy on their part. I will not be staying with my 2023 Tundra if and when i get it back knowing we only get a 1 year warranty and crate engines are already failing. Toyota is treating their faithful clients horribly on this issue they caused. Id go as far as saying this should be part of the Lemon Law act and more needs to be done.

See attached document for complaint. 100,000 Toyota Tundras have been recalled for Engine defects that require engine replacements. Toyota recall letter directed me to contact my dealer for engine replacement information. I have been to Toyota of Cedar Park, Texas three times just to find out if there is a schedule that will let me know when my truck will be serviced for engine replacement. The answer was no. More questions and no answers. How many have been completed to date? Are the 2022 Tundras completed? No answer. Any idea as to when my engine will be replaced? No answer I contacted the Toyota Brand Engagement Center in Plano, Texas. My notice stated that if I needed further assistance to contact them. They could not answer any of my questions and did not know when a remedy would be available. A loss of drive power while driving can increase the risk of a crash. Why would the NHTSA allow 100,000 vehicles with defective engines to operate on the road with the risk of crash? The issue was identified in 2022 or four years ago. Why does the Toyota letter say we will notify you again when we identify a remedy. The remedy has already been identified by Toyota of Japan. They have approved replacements of engines. How long is a reasonable time for consumers to have to wait to resolve this issue? I do not feel confident driving a vehicle that can lose power at any time. Automakers have more rights that consumers. I paid a premium for this Toyota Truck. No new trucks should be allowed to be sold until these defective trucks are repaired. In my last visit to the dealership they offered me $27,000 dollars less than what I paid for my truck. I think the devaluation is due to these recalls. As stated earlier, I write this letter because Toyota has failed or is unable to remedy two defects within a reasonable time. I am requesting assistance from the NHTSA to hold Toyota accountable for these defective engines. I would like to know when my engine is going to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V767000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Panoramic sunroof on 2023 Toyota Tundra spontaneously exploded while driving. The glass exploded upwards shattering glass everywhere onto the sunroof shade cover and into the truck bed. If the shade wasn't closed, the shards of glass would have fallen into the cab into the drivers face while driving. This incident was due to a defect of some sort and NOT cause by any external factors or objects.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that after performing an oil change, metal fragments were discovered in the engine oil. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, and the dealer confirmed that there were no active recalls associated with the VIN for the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was opened. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000.

This is an engine failure recall and after multiple conversations with my service advisor, I am being told that my "vehicle is not ready for the corrective action at this time". When I ask him what constitutes "being ready", he states that "the engine pretty must has to be dead". My reply, "In other words, I need to be stranded with an inoperable vehicle before Toyota is going to allow a claim submission?" His reply, "yep, that is pretty much it." So, I am driving a car over mountain passes every weekend, late at night, just waiting for it to die for a known recall, and Toyota is not taking any action. This car only has 37,700 miles on it and it not what I expected out of purchasing a new Toyota.
