The upper grille and hood trim assembly on my 2018 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition failed and partially detached from the vehicle due to apparent mounting clip and retainer failure. The failed component is available for inspection upon request. Photographs of the damage and detached trim assembly have been documented. This failure created a significant safety risk because the panel could have fully detached while the vehicle was in motion and become a roadway hazard to other motorists. The detached component also created concerns regarding possible interference with the front grille assembly and Toyota Safety Sense components located behind the grille area. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps, dashboard messages, or other electronic warnings indicating a problem. There were also no visible signs of impact damage or collision that would explain the failure. The condition appears to have occurred during normal vehicle operation. The vehicle currently has approximately 76,900 miles. After researching the issue, I identified multiple reports from other Toyota Tundra owners describing similar failures involving the upper grille garnish, mounting tabs, and retaining clips on this generation of Tundra vehicles. At this time, the issue has not yet been formally inspected by Toyota, law enforcement, insurance representatives, or an independent repair facility. Dealer confirmation is currently UNKNOWN. However, based on visual inspection, the mounting clips and retainers appea

The vehicle was having issues with the fuel pump which was a known safety recall for the 2018 Toyota Tundra vehicles. The service man said that when he pulled up the safety recall for our VIN number that it didn't show anything, but we needed a new fuel pump according to the service codes that were coming up after inspection. They made us pay for the fuel pump before we left the dealership. The vehicle was too dangerous to drive without having the work performed (getting stalled out or stuck on the highway) so we had to pay for the work. Toyota said that I could file a complaint with NHTSA to get my vehicle added to this recall and then try again for reimbursement. I have the repair paperwork if needed to support this claim.

Fuel pump out after 3 weeks.4-24-25 Three weeks ago 4-07-25 I had an issue with my fuel pump and the Toyota dealer replaced it. I also reported it here at that time. I typed up what the truck did and sent it to y'all before i ever got word of what was wrong. The report from them is not accurate. They stated I had run out of gas and the fuel pump was burnt up. As I stated I lost propulsion but the truck was still running. I will say I also know I had a couple of gallons of gas in it as I added some the day before and I know how far I drove as I put a little extra over the distance I was going and of course it had gas in it since I drove it to the gas station. Anyways they replaced the pump and now 3 weeks later 4-24-25 the new pump is out. The truck acted the same as it did 3 weeks ago and again it wouldn't start after turning it off. I had to have it towed to the dealer again. They confirmed today it was the fuel pump that had gone out. I know I had about a half tank of gas this time.

FUEL PUMP. I was driving at highway speeds of about 70mph when I suddenly lost propulsion but the truck was still running. I had cars behind me and coming from the front. I shifted to neutral and back to drive to see if that would fix it and nothing changed. I pulled over onto the shoulder and put it in park. I went back to drive and nothing again. I turned it off hoping for a reset and it wouldn't start after that. The starter was turning over but would not fire up the engine. Had to have it towed to the dealer and they say its the Fuel Pump. No lights or warnings ever came on the dash. The Truck is at the Toyota Dealer being fixed right now.

This case results from the malfunctioning trailer brake ECU on 2018-2019 Tundras. There is a Toyota service bulletin T-SB-0036-19, which specifies an updated controller to replace the defective model. Part # : Original 89547-0C020 Update/replacement 89547-0C060 Toyota will not replace this defective part outside of the original warranty period despite the issuance of an updated replacement part. The service bulletin wasn’t even issued until 4/19 possibly giving no recourse to owners whose warranty had tolled. The newer part number, suggests this was a dangerous defect that was upgraded. A review of this matter online details this problem has frequently occurred. The reason it’s not more commonly reported is that a minority of Tundra owners tow trailers, and even fewer tow with electric brakes. Regardless, this is a significant safety issue where the Tundra owners are forced pay about $1,100 to repair this defective part. This matter should be elevated to a recall since losing the functionality of one’s trailer brakes is a very dangerous situation.

The vehicle has had no other fuel issues and has always been kept up on maintenance at the Toyota dealership. Recently we had issues after getting gas and it stalling. Today after closer inspection the dealership called to say it was the fuel pump. The fuel pump has melted to the gas tank. This is obviously a huge fire and safety risk. There are no after market parts that would cause this.

While descending a steep grade towing an 8,000lb travel trailer using appropriate hill descent braking techniques, an error message came on the dash indicating a trailer wiring, type, or connection fault. From this point forward, I had no trailer brakes and was left with truck brakes only. I got the truck/trailer combination to the bottom of the grade safely, however this could have been catastrophic for an inexperienced driver or in a different situation. Upon further investigation, this is a common problem with Toyota Tundra’s, and acknowledged by Toyota in TSB # T-SB-0036-19 issued on April 1, 2019. The dealer and Toyota Customer Service will not acknowledge this, and states it is something only covered under the 3 year warranty. My question for you, the NHTSA, is how would this not be considered a safety issue, when the issue comes on unexpectedly under less than ideal circumstances, especially when Toyota has acknowledged that there is a problem with their brake controller. This is a safety issue, not a warranty issue. Toyota will be held accountable for any injury or death caused by my vehicle in this situation.

Check engine light came on and after scanning Code P2445 'Secondary Air Injection Pump Stuck Off' was the error. Vehicle went into lower power mode, which is very unsafe for highway driving. The Secondary Air Injection Pump issues have plagued Toyota V8's for many years and I had hoped they'd fixed the issue by the 2nd Generation Tundras, I guess not. Dealer replaced the Secondary Air Injection Pump for about $850 and noted that there was moisture in the pump, which caused it to short out - very similar to issues reported by other Toyota V8 owners. Toyota has a 10 year warranty on the Secondary Air Injection Pumps for 2007-2010 Tundras and 2008-2010 Sequoia models - but no other years/models. It's time that Toyota recall these vehicles and fix them properly, or extend the warranty to all years/models.

Complaints 1-50 of 100, newest first, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
