NHTSA Complaint #11206772 — 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA

MY 2012 TUNDRA HAS JUST UNDER 70,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRAC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY. HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE MECHANIC SAYS THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP AND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THERE IS A CSP THAT COVERS CERTAIN 2012 TUNDRA'S. UNFORTUNATELY THE CSP ONLY COVERS THE 5.7 L. ENGINES AND NOT MY 4.6L MODEL. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT EVERYTHING IS THE EXACT SAME SET UP AS FAR AS THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP, IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT SIZE ENGINE. NOT SURE WHY ONE IS COVERED BUT THE OTHER ISN'T BUT I'LL HAVE TO SUCK IT UP AND PAY THE PRICE. MAYBE IF MORE PEOPLE MAKE TOYOTA AWARE OF THIS THEY WILL EVENTUALLY COVER IT. I'M A TOYOTA FAN AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING THEM FOR 40 YEARS AND THIS WON'T PUSH ME AWAY BUT IT IS DISAPPOINTING.
