Consumer Description

During inspection of my Tundra, I was told by the Toyota service technician that the frame integrity is compromised and could lead to a catastrophic incident. This is a common issue, Toyota settled a class action lawsuit in 2019, but it was restricted to just the 2007-8 model years of the Tundra. There was an earlier recall, but the resolution was not a fix, it was just a patch, leaving thousands of first generation Tundras on the road still with the potential to cause serious safety exposure. Toyota had a frame replacement program for a few years, so they are aware that it’s an issue, but have not resolved for many owners. They sued the frame manufacturer, Dana Corp I believe, further proof that they knew it’s a problem.
