NHTSA Complaint #10959583 — 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA

MY 4X4 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX WITH THE 5.7L ENGINE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CAM TOWER LEAK WITH ONLY 15,000 MILES ON IT. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. TOYOTA MADE THE REPAIR AND PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR FOR ME. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012-2013 5.7L ENGINE AND I WANT THIS ISSUE TO BE MORE PUBLIC. I WORRY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WILL BE STUCK WITH THE $2,300-$3,000 BILL TO FIX THEIR OWN VEHICLE IF THEIR VEHICLE'S POWER TRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I ALSO WORRY THE ENGINES COULD LEAK OIL ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND CATCH FIRE.
