“2023 Toyota Tundra. On July 20, 2026 and again on September 18, 2026, while driving, the truck suddenly lost power and went into limp mode. The dash showed 'Check Engine / Reduced Engine Power / Visit Your Dealer' at about 43,440 miles. The truck had to be towed to the dealer on a flatbed. Losing power without warning in traffic is a serious safety risk.”

First they told me i was to get a new engine in june of 2026. Then in may of 2026 they told me a software test will be completed first to determine if my truck needs a engine. The dealer did state at that time , they are not equipped or trained to perform the service so they dont know when this will happen if ever.

2023 Toyota Tundra. On July 20, 2026 and again on September 18, 2026, while driving, the truck suddenly lost power and went into limp mode. The dash showed 'Check Engine / Reduced Engine Power / Visit Your Dealer' at about 43,440 miles. The truck had to be towed to the dealer on a flatbed. Losing power without warning in traffic is a serious safety risk. Other ongoing problems: the brakes squeaked for over a year before they were fixed, the driver seat bolster plastic is broken (this would be the third repair), the radio volume knob has failed, and there is excessive wind noise. This VIN still shows open recall 25V767 (engine machining debris causing loss of motive power), which has not been performed despite two dealer visits for this exact failure.

Recall 25V-767 (Toyota 25TB14) is open on my VIN with no remedy available. Full statement and sources attached. XXX 12 days after the recall was filed and before I had any notice, my check engine light was on at an oil change at Colonial Toyota, [XXX]. The tech showed me the dealer's video of it and the light was cleared. I reported rough running and hesitation pulling away, and fear of a stall in traffic. The only rental offered was a subcompact, which cannot replace my full-size truck or tow my trailer. I was told nothing could be done until Toyota released a fix. None of this is on the repair order. I stopped driving the truck; by mid-XXX it had 19,923 miles. I asked the dealer in writing on XXX for the video, the cleared-code record and their retention policy. No response.

The driver's side front seat lower plastic shield/trim panel completely fractured under normal, everyday usage conditions. The material failed and cracked into sharp, jagged pieces that protrude out into the cabin entryway/exitway. While exiting the vehicle at approximately 57,00, this broke plastic snagged and nearly caused a severe puncture or laceration injury to my leg. The component houses seat controls and sits adjacent to the side airbag module. Toyota has acknowledged this design flaw in Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0007-24, but the component has fractured into a sharp, physical hazard inside the cabin, creating an immediate risk of occupant injury. Bottomline: The factory driver-side seat panel broke into sharp pieces and caused imminent leg injury hazard during vehicle exit.

Fuel/Propulsion System
Filed Sep 23, 2026OH

Vehicle: 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Hybrid, VIN [XXX], approximately 40,000 miles. The electronic fuel door release failed due to a corroded fuel door sensor/connector (diagnosed by Premier Toyota, XXX). When the fuel door system does not engage, the tank's refueling valve does not open. As a result, gasoline spits back out of the filler neck during refueling, spilling fuel onto the vehicle and the ground. This creates a fire hazard at fuel stations. Many other owners of 2022-2024 Tundra Hybrid trucks report the identical failure. I believe this is a manufacturing defect in a sealed electrical component that creates a fuel-spill safety risk.

Turbo's have to be replaced because of a wastegate failure. This is a well known issue. My vehicle is at 66700 miles and Toyota has denied a good will claim. Though they admit there is nothing I could have done differently because its a defective part. My safety is put at risk because the truck goes into limp mode and a "reduced power" message is displayed. The dealership has confirmed the issue but because its 7k outside of warranty they are unwilling to do anything even though its a defect. Vehicle has only been inspected by dealership. they also have a diagnostic test for the total engine recall and its very subjective. I don't believe they are keeping safety in mind. I think they are trying to deny as many of those claims as possible.

The component that is failed/malfunctioning is the mode function of the HVAC blower system. After thorough online research this appears to be related to either the gear door actuator or the blend door being stuck or broken (gears, etc.). This prevents air from blowing out of any vents other than the defrost and feet modes. While it appears to be a common issue online the two Toyota dealerships will not provide any helpful information unless I agree to a minimum $250 diagnostic fee. I've replaced all the gear door actuators thus I believe it has to do with the blend door. The dealerships default response is "that's just how they are". There were no warnings, messages, etc. prior to failure. Failure was noticed upon start and longer than usual startup of the HVAC system, it now takes 30-60 seconds to attempt to calibrate before any air starts moving. And as stated earlier it just blows out of the defrost and foot functions, nothing out of the face vents.

My radiator leaked engine coolant fluid while driving. The fan shroud warped from heat and rubbed against the radiator and punctured a hole in the radiator causing a slow leak. My vehicle became inoperable and had to pull over. It's been confirmed by the dealership and has a report No warnings prior to failure, though the leak look to have been a slow leak that was in the engine bay and on driveway just faintly so it had been an issue that had been progressing over time. The warnings first appeared for high temp when the coolant was totally out and mentioned the vehicle was overheating and to pull over.

On XXX my 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited’s check engine light came on and after consulting with my service center, Jones Toyota in Bel Air, MD, via phone I brought the truck into Jones to be assessed. Jones diagnosed the problem and determined a physical failure of the passenger-side turbocharger. The vehicle is currently disabled and located at Jones Toyota in Bel Air, MD, undergoing service for the turbo failure. My vehicle is also subject to active safety Recall Campaign 25TA14 for manufacturing debris in the V35A engine block, but the dealership and manufacturer are treating the turbo failure as a separate repair item and have not linked it to the recall in writing. Operating a twin-turbo V6 platform experiencing sudden propulsion and turbo loss—while an open, un-remedied main bearing engine recall remains pending on the same vehicle—presents a severe underlying safety and mechanical failure pattern putting anyone in the vehicle or on the road with the vehicle when its being operated at risk

My 2023 Toyota Tundra iForceMAX truck has been out of commission for 56 days (Since June 29, 2026). I have experienced a "shroud rub" issue which is a widely documented design flaw in 2022–2025 Tundras. It happens when pressure from the transmission lines warps the passenger-side plastic fan shroud, pushing it straight into the radiator fins until it rubs a hole right through them. The dealer (Fred Haas Toyota World, Spring TX) has stated that they are still waiting for a new fan shroud to arrive and have NO firm date when it will arrive. This is a safety issue as the vehicle sends a clear warning on the dashboard gauge cluster of the dangerous condition to over heating and advises the driver to immediately pull over, switch offthe engine and let it cool down or risk catastrophic failure.

-Our Toyota Tundra Hybrid suffered total catastrophic engine failure due to metal shavings found throughout the engine and oil system. This is the same issue that prompted NHTSA ID Number: 25V767000 recall of Toyota's V35A engines. The tundra is available for inspection. -Statement regarding safety put at risk by my husband: I felt a vibration from the engine compartment (seeming to come from the front right side) and then I suddenly lost complete power. I was traveling in the number one lane (the fast lane). I immediately put my hazards on and had to navigate to the number two lane and then over to the narrow shoulder under no power whatsoever. I had to navigate around multiple semi-trucks. This was a very dangerous situation and I barely got it over to the shoulder. If my teenage daughters were driving this car they likely wouldn't have been able to safely navigate it across two lanes with no power in the setting of multiple semi-trucks on a two-lane divided highway. Again, a very dangerous situation. I shut down the engine and waited five minutes and restarted it. Shifting into gear the warning indicator said 'hybrid system disconnected'. -The total catastrophic engine failure has been confirmed by the Toyota Dealership.

While I was driving on Highway 459, the vehicle suddenly experienced a complete engine failure and lost power in the middle of the roadway. The vehicle could no longer accelerate or maintain its speed, leaving me stranded in an active traffic lane. This sudden failure placed me and other motorists at serious risk of a collision. Vehicles approaching from behind had to slow down, stop or change lanes to avoid hitting my disabled vehicle. I activated the hazard lights and attempted to move the vehicle to a safer location, but because the engine was no longer functioning, I was unable to safely remove it from the roadway. Before the incident, the vehicle displayed the following warning lights, messages or symptoms: NO PRIOR WARNING The vehicle was transported to OURISMAN TOYOTA OF WOODBRIDGE for inspection. The facility determined that ENGINE WAS BAD. The engine and vehicle remain available for inspection upon request. This was an abrupt and dangerous loss of engine power in active traffic. A vehicle should not experience a sudden engine failure that leaves it immobilized in the middle of a highway, especially without sufficient warning to allow the driver to reach a safe location. I am reporting this incident because the failure created a serious safety hazard for me and other motorists, and I am concerned that the same defect could affect other vehicles.

My wife and I purchased a brand new Tundra LTD in May 2023. An important note to keep in mind is that my wife and I not only purchased the new Tundra but also a new travel trailer so we could enjoy our nation's national parks during our retirement years. I will relate that to my complaint shortly. It wasn't long after our purchase that we became aware of the issue of machining debris possibly contaminating the engine block which can result in sudden engine failure. Right now, because Toyota has not resolved our issue and communication has generally been close to non-existent. We no longer feel we can safely take our truck and trailer to the remote national parks of the American southwest where distances are huge and help few and far between. We have visited the SW twice and want to do more while we are still young enough to do so but are worried about what a sudden breakdown would do. I called up Toyota and asked them to repurchase the Tundra so I could buy a new onw without the issue. I explained that I paid for the Truck in good faith but that they have not kept up the end of the bargain, the truck Toyota sold us is potentially unsafe and we'd like it fixed or repurchases which would allow us to buy a new truck. They closed out my official inquiry without comment or communication of any kind. Apparenty, they are just fine with consumers being sold a truck that may suddenly die on them. Anyway you folks can get Toyota to fairly take care of its customers?

Vehicle Information: 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited TRD Off-Road (Equipped with Factory Tires) [1] Current Mileage: Approximately 26,000 miles Description of Safety Defect: The factory-installed tires on this vehicle are exhibiting premature, severe tire dry rot (sidewall/tread cracking) and highly accelerated, uneven tread wear at only 26,000 miles. The depth of the rot and the erratic wear pattern present an immediate structural hazard, significantly increasing the risk of a sudden tread separation, sidewall blowout, or catastrophic tire failure at highway speeds. Despite proper vehicle maintenance, alignment checks, and routine tire rotations, the rubber compound has degraded at an unacceptable and unsafe rate for a low-mileage, modern vehicle. This premature deterioration compromises wet-weather traction, braking efficiency, and overall vehicle handling. The severe degradation of these original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires constitutes a clear manufacturing defect that poses an ongoing safety risk to the driver, passengers, and other motorists on the road.

Recall # 25V767 has been open since November 6, 2025 and the remedy is not yet available. There is a possibility that certain machining debris may not have been cleared from the engine when it was produced which can lead to potential engine knocking, engine rough running, engine no start, and/or a loss of motive power.

I was only able to crest a slight incline and safely get to the shoulder of the road due to momentum gained during passing. Toyota states hybrid models have locomotive ability after engine seizing, this is clearly not true. Had the seizing occurred while passing, it would have likely resulted in a head on collision.

Forward facing Camera's: After vehicle was recalled for a refacing camera issue and repaired for that recall, now the forward facing camera does not work properly. When coming to stop or while stopped the forward facing camera's no longer work. They only come on when I get close to something. They also no longer read speed limit signs. When stopped at a cross walk if a child runs in front of the vehicle I do not get a warning until the child is directly in front of the vehicle. This could cause me to hit a child based on the height of the child and being blocked by the hood of the vehicle. I need the forward camera's to activate at 5 miles per hour or slower and stay on when stopped until going over 5 miles per hour like they did before the backup camara recall was installed on my truck.

I looked at the dash display and saw a "Hybrid System Malfunction" warning. Because of the traffic situation/location it was not safe to just sit in the road so I continued to pump on the accelerator. each pumped moved the vehicle forward a couple of feet. I did not turn of the engine because I was unsure what would happen so I continued to do that for about a mile or so until I could get to a safe place to pull over. during this time, I almost got rear-ended and side-swiped several times.

My vehicle only has 20,000 miles on it so how can a scan determine that the engine will not fail at 60K. That's like telling someone that needs a heart transplant that there heart is beating good today so they don't get the transplant. Do people need to die to make Toyota liable.

2023 Toyota Tundra: questions buyers ask

Is the 2023 Toyota Tundra a good car?

It is not among the Tundra years to avoid. Owners filed 412 complaints, against about 245 for a typical Tundra year. The most common complaint is about the engine (41%). In NHTSA crash tests it scored 5 stars overall.

What is the most common problem with the 2023 Toyota Tundra?

The engine: 168 of the 412 complaints (41%) are about it. Owners most often say it loses power (24%), sets off warning lights on the dash (23%) and hesitates before moving or accelerating (21%). The typical report comes at 36,000 miles.

How many recalls does the 2023 Toyota Tundra have?

13 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Nov 6, 2025. The largest, 25V322000, covered 443,444 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.

At what mileage do 2023 Toyota Tundra problems start?

Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 30,000 miles. For the engine the midpoint is 36,000 miles.

Are there service bulletins for the 2023 Toyota Tundra?

The manufacturer filed 181 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the electrical system (57), the body and frame (40) and the engine (16). They include a service campaign, 26TC02, filed Jun 25, 2026. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.

Reading this record

Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.

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.

Most recent recall on file: Nov 6, 2025. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
