The 2016 Toyota Frame Rust Settlement (Burns v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.): This $3.4 billion class action directly addresses premature corrosion in 2007–2008 Tundras (and similar models). It claims Toyota “knowingly failed to apply adequate rust protection,” leading to frame perforation despite later treatments like HOF. The settlement’s “recurrent perforation” clause applies even after HOF. My rusted-through fuel tank strap and holes in the rear cross member qualify. HOF RO# XXX. Claim #XXX My 2008 Tundra SR5 TRD was treated with HOF in Nov 2017. In November 2025 my mechanic told me the gas tank was falling out as the straps that hold the tank in place were completely rotted out. And rust perforation was on the rear cross member. He instructed me to get a safety inspection at a Toyota dealership to document the rust. Toyota of Waldorf didn’t even schedule a appt, they told me to call the Brand Engagement Center and that there was no possibility of repair because Toyota had no frames. Brand engagement refused to provide any guidance. I scheduled an inspection at Koons Toyota of Annapolis, which it failed inspection with multiple >10mm frame holes and a rusted-through tank strap (held by bungee). They deemed it unsafe to operate and unrepairable. They kept leaving out the information about the rust or the holes until they realized I was not leaving until they documented it properly. I have 3 versions. Despite ZH7 expiration, this is a post-HOF recurrence and safety haz

Standard Vehicle Components failed. My 2008 Tundra [VIN [XXX] ] was inspected in Nov 2017 under HOF/WEP, passed with CRC applied, but now has a 2-finger-wide perforation in the frame and rusted through the gas tank support—a clear safety defect in a salt state like Maryland. The undercoating failed prematurely; I need goodwill frame replacement or buyback per the $3.4B settlement’s spirit.” (reference the 2017 class action, case no. 3:14-cv-03538). Toyota Brand Engagement Center has refused my request for repair or replacement or buy back. They also refused to provide written refusal. They admitted to recording the conversation, but refused my request for a copy or to record the call myself. There is literally no rust on any other portion of my truck as it is garage kept.

Years back there was a recall in regard to the frame. I brought the truck into Colonial Toyota in Milford CT for the recall. I was advised that the frame was fine and did not need to be replaced. Recently when i brought the truck in for an oil change the owner advised me that the gas straps attached to the frame had rusted out. He demanded that I remove the vehicle from his facility ASAP due to the excessive danger this created and not to drive the truck. He advised me to get rid of it. I reached out to a mechanic who advised that it could be welded back; however it would cost thousands of dollars to have that done. I contacted Toyota corporate to explain the situation and they advised me that there was nothing they could do to assist me with this issue. This truck had been well maintained and it ran perfectly with 280,000 miles. My goal was to run it to 400,000 miles as Toyota trucks tend to have a high mileage longevity when serviced as required. New A/C was replaced within the last three years; brakes/rotors/belts were replaced within the last 18 months. This truck was well maintained. Since this was my work truck I needed a vehicle ASAP and ended up purchasing a new 2024 Toyota Tundra which was an expense that I hadn't been expecting at all. I opted for the extended warranty option that was an EXTRA $3,000.00 to protect me and the new truck going forward. Toyota should be responsible for some of these additional expenses as it was TOYOTA who advised me during the RECALL t

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicles stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate above 50 MPH. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where to be diagnosed. The dealer determined that the secondary air injection pump had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000. The VIN was not available.

Traction control nvcs off light came on and will not go off now.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called an independent mechanic, but no assistance was provided. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The floor inside of the bed is sagging everywhere it is bolted down to the frame. It has never had a bedliner. It has a crunchy sound when you step on these areas. I do not know how much damage is under the flooring at this time. There has been nothing heavy hauled in the bed. The rest of the bed is solid. If not repaired the bed will separate from the truck and soon

The truck has had three engine oil leaks since 4-20-22. The most recent is being repaired now. In each of these leaks, engine oil leaks out of the valve cover and or the cam tower and drips onto the exhaust. The burning oil can be smelled inside the truck cab. I am concerned it could cause a fire. The dealer has repaired the first two leaks and is working on the cam tower leak now (drivers side). I notified Toyota, they refused to fix the problem.

I was washing my truck October,1,2023 and while spraying the underside with water I noticed the fuel tank hanging extremely low from the back while further inspection I observed the rear fuel tank strap had rusted off and the tank was hanging by the front strap which is very corroded along with all inner structure and frame rails which is rusted corroded and completely rotted out. This truck has been very well maintained and has only 104354 miles on it.

The contact's husband owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, a fellow motorist alerted her husband that an unknown part had been hanging from underneath the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact's husband discovered that the fuel tank had detached from the vehicle due to severe corrosion. The contact stated that several years prior, the vehicle had been subjected to an unknown recall related to corrosion. The contact stated that a special coating was sprayed on the vehicle to prevent corrosion; however, the recall remedy failed to prevent the corrosion. The dealer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 171,000.

SAIS/emissions system constantly malfunctions and puts the truck into limp mode, making it difficult to drive over 40mph and incredibly dangerous if it occurs while driving. We’ve been trying to fix it for years with no luck, after thousands of dollars. I’m surprised there’s not any class action lawsuits against Toyota for this issue as it’s fairly common in their trucks.

On 5 different occasions between January-March 2023 the accelerator pedal continued to accelerate after the pedal pressure was released. Even with braking, the accelerator pedal did not decelerate. Pedal had to be lifted back to original position by using toe of foot underneath the pedal. Occurred 4 times in city driving and once on highway. Extremely hazardous conditions if I did not react to stop the acceleration. On three of the occasions I was behind a vehicle which could have caused an accident had my reaction not been quick. Toyota dealership stated all previous recalls in regards to accelerator pedal were complied with and refused any additional service to uncontrolled acceleration issues.

Traction control and VSC

I have multiple problems with the dash lights going on and off , have taken it to car repair when scanned and had replaced relays many times. I have read many stories of people having the same problem with toyota tundras and no one can figure it out. Toyota should have a recall for this because it is not just one or two people with this same exact problem, it is many toyota tundra owners going through the same problems that i' am experiencing.

My truck drove fine then all of a sudden my check engine, vsc and traction control light came on. I brought it to the shop and the code read P 2440. It is in limp mode and the shifting is sporadic.

Since November of 2021 I have my truck towed 20 times due to frame rusting out had it inspected at downeast Toyota in brewer a few years ago to have Frame replacement because all crossmembers where rusted so bed wasn't even on now can mounts completely gone . reason for towing so many tis frame had rusted away pinched wiring harness so I had to pay 1500 for repairs I was always told it was covered.

Frame rusting away, will no longer pass inspection because of cracks. First recall inspection dealer said it was OK second frame replacement is $10,700.00

Took my truck in for maintenance and a bracket was hanging down. Dealer brought me back and showed me corrosion of mid framing and that gas bracket had rotted off. gave me a proposal of over $7000 to repair. I had said to them that I had the frame frame coated during the recall, and why weren't the cross members sprayed at that time. They replied Toyota said it was not needed. Did some research yesterday and found that rusting cross members was a problem, and that tire holders, and gas brackets were a problem. Called Toyota and they explained to me that certain vin #'s were covered but that mine was not. I asked them why my truck with the same issues was not covered? Was told corporate policy. Do I have any rights in this issue. My cell # is [XXX]1, my e-mail is [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The air injection pumps went out. Vehicle could not get out of limp mode, was very dangerous as I couldnt get up to speed while merging onto traffic. Had to put hazards on and drive vehicle home under 25mph. Vehicles were going around me. Vehicle is scheduled to be looked at by a dealer, but still recommend this be a safety issue!!

There is significant rust on the frame of this 2008 Tundra. I am located in North Central WA State and they use compounds on the roads in the winter here similar to what is used in the northeast US. The rust is also on the steering mechanism and spare tire. I just had a flat tire and had to use the spare tire temporarily. This is a common problem reported on Tundra forums online and this truck should be covered under an ongoing repair mandate since the rust is damaging steering mechanism, brake lines, spare tire support system, etc. These are safety concerns.

Truck goes into low power mode or "limp" and has difficulty accelerating. The check engine light is on, “VSC OFF” light blinks on and off, as well as the “slippery tire” sign stays on. Very dangerous if this happens when driving on an expressway as you can't drive over 45 mph in low power mode. This is a known issue with Air Injection Pumps and Air Switching Valves for Toyota Tundra trucks between 2007-2008. Toyota extended the factory warranty instead of offering a recall. Due to the factory warranty extension Toyota would not fix this problem until it manifested, and it usually doesn't manifest until after the extension of the factory warranty has expired.

Toyota dealer reported that this 2008 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4WD had a steering fluid leak, and other issues with the steering mechanism that sounds very similar to the current recall from November 2021.

Rusted frame on my 2008 toyota tundra

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the subframe had severe rust-causing holes shown in the frame and cabbed of the vehicle. The contact stated that some areas had been sprayed with a substance to patch up the areas of rust, however, the spray had since deteriorated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be inspected. The contact informed the manufacturer of the failure and was informed that the extended coverage for the repair had been extended. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The entire outside of this truck is rusting. The frame is completely rusted as is the outside of the vehicle and the bed which you can see the ground when looking down. This is ridiculous. It looks like the area that hold the gas is also rusted and is dangerous to drive.

Bed rust in areas where bed bolts to frame. Known issue by Toyota as evidenced by their TSB issued in 2012. Bed mat has been used since purchasing vehicle on 2010. Bed has rusted through at one location, rust is visible at another and the other two locations the paint is bubbling up. Contacted my local Toyota dealership (9/2020) and forwarded to the collision/repair shop manager. He supposedly sent an email to a district/area manager with pictures. I contacted him a couple weeks later and he said he hadn’t heard back and would sent it to another individual. I asked for the original email along with the new one. Original email was never furnished. Couple more weeks passed and I followed up yet again. Was told my vehicle was too old and nothing could be done. No official letter from Toyota, just a verbal statement. This rust will eventually cause a lack of support in the bolt area and may be an extreme safety issue while driving the truck and/or those driving beside or behind the vehicle if/when the bed disconnects from the frame. Incident date is the reported date to dealership. I am positive it had been ongoing under the bed mat quite prior to that date.

When accelerating on my truck between 45 and 55 miles, the motor starts shaking alot. I have to release the gas pedal to make it stopped. Also the transmission shift by itself when I am at a stop sign. Just once.

Vehicle accelerates slow where it takes time for truck to gain spread. Also the cruise control doesn’t work for some reason when button is pushed the cruise light comes on but truck doesn’t cruise on its own.

Secondary air pump failure, truck has a tough time accelerating, I’ve unhooked the pipes and drained the water out the pipes but that did little good. The check engine light is on, “VSC OFF” light blanks on and off, as well as the “slippery tire” sign stays on.

Received recall notice about frame rot problems. Had vehicle inspected at Prime Toyota Route 2, 700 Old Union Turnpike, Lancaster, MA in November 2018. They told us frame was okay and we have the documentation. 2 Years later (approx. 10,000 miles more), (when driving) frame broke. Have been in contact with Toyota. Toyota tells me to call dealership. Dealership stated they would talk to Toyota rep and call back. Toyota said I need to go to dealership because they inspected it. Dealership won't call back after numerous calls. Called Toyota and they opened another claim. Never heard back from Toyota. Have been dealing with this for about a year now. We believe that dealer did not do a proper inspection.

Excessive rust build up all along the underside of the vehicle, frame, and all over the suspension components

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SWITCHING VALVE FAILED WHILE CHANGING LANES CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO GO INTO CREEP MODE AND ALMOST CAUSE A COLISION WITH VEHICLE BEHIND ME DUE TO NO POWER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS AND RE OCCURING ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SOME TIME AND I AM JUST NOW BEING MADE AWARE OF IT BY TOYOTA WHO CLAIMS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. COULD HAVE DIED IN THIS CAR INCIDENT.

THEY STATE THEIR IS NO FIXING OF THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY ALLEGE MY BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS GUIDELINES SET BY THE NHTS..

I AM A NURSE WHO WORKS IN A HOSPITAL DURING THIS PANDEMIC AND I NO LONGER HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WHERE TOYOTA EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTIES TO COVER THIS. HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST ME. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A TRUCK THAT CANNOT GO PAST 30MPH AND ITS EMISSION SYSTEM IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. *TR
