Consumer Description
My 2017 Toyota Tundra Limited has 107,192 miles. I took the vehicle to Berlin City Toyota in Portland, ME for an oil change. The service technician told me that the truck has a cam tower leak. The engine is leaking oil directly onto the exhaust manifold. The service technician told me that if the leak gets worse the engine oil could combust and the engine would light on fire. I regularly have my truck serviced at Berlin City Toyota in Portland, ME, which is where I purchased the truck. I have documented with Toyota that the truck has been burning or leaking oil since it purchased the truck when it had 43,000 miles. No leak was ever found by Toyota until yesterday. The cost to repair this issue is $5600. No warning lamps or messages have ever appeared on the truck. Toyota says this is a common issues with the 5.7 liter V8 engine in the 2017 Tundra. I feel that it should be covered by warranty or a recall should be put in place for the cam tower leak on the Toyota Tundra being that the engine could light on fire with no warning due to the faulty seal on the engine.
