Consumer Description

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.
