2022 Model Year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid Vehicles Rear Axle Shafts May Separate from Vehicle During Driving
On June 23, 2022, Toyota filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on 2022 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles.
Condition:
Vehicles in this recall have certain nuts on the rear axle assembly that can loosen over time and, in some cases, fall off, potentially causing an axle shaft sub-assembly to separate from the axle. If complete separation occurs, this can affect vehicle stability and brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy:
For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will inspect and retighten the axle flange nuts FREE OF CHARGE. In some cases, axle related components may be replaced FREE OF CHARGE based on inspection results.
Covered Vehicles:
There are approximately 46,200 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. Approximately 300 vehicles involved in this Safety Recall were distributed to Puerto Rico
Owner Letter Mailing Date:
Toyota will notify owners by late July 2022.
Salvage Title Vehicles:
Every attempt should be made to complete an open Safety Recall when circumstances permit, unless noted otherwise in the Safety Recall dealer letter. For complete details on this policy, refer to Toyota Warranty Policy 4.17, “What Is Not Covered by The Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty”.
