Tundra Owners - Info To Help You Decide What To Do About Recall 

Fixed my 22 Tundra problem. Sold it.

I own a 2024 Tundra Limited it was built in 09/23. I’m planning on keeping it I believe Toyota will do right by their customers. I love this truck and I have wanted 1 for the past 10 years

Wow! A RU-vidr in the automotive space with a brain?! You sir earned my support.

I understand the comparison you're trying to make what other manufacturers but the GM 2.7 L had a total of 11 engines replaced among the three models which is nothing compared to what Toyota is looking at with 100,000 engines

Good job, my guy. Bout time. The FIRST video to point out all manufacturers issues.

At this time I'm going to wait and see what Toyota comes up with for a remedy I love the truck I for one think they will take care of us

Great video, owner of a 2022 tundra sr5 sport package 4x4 with 54k miles and still going strong. Will keep mine I do my oil changes every 5k miles. My tundra was built 12/21 so it’s definitely effected but idc I trust Toyota, my dealership has always been treating me right

Thank you my good sir for the reassurance. My wife loves her 2024 sr5 crewmax TRD off-road and she would be devastated to see it dumped.

Excellent Perspective! Thanks bro!

The way you have thoroughly looked into this from the top and bottom and going into detail of things that I would not consider or thought of because I wouldn't know about it. I think you are gonna be doing my homework. I'm gonna check back and read what you say. That's it, and a *"BiG Thank You"* 👌

Hey man, I really appreciate the measured and reassuring tone of the video. I own a ‘24 platinum hybrid that while technically not part of the recall is probably still affected. I love my truck and I trust Toyota. But it is worrying when so many people are freaking out online about it. Seeing other brand recalls helps put things into perspective

The depreciation on these tundras is going to be horrific. No one will want them just because of Toyota's behavior

I really apreciate you taking the time to make this vid. I hope people watch it and chill out. It sucks for us owners, but in the end it'll just be in the past. Im on the fence selling mine or keeping it. Like you said, less than 1% at this point. Roll of the dice either way.

Luckily I found your channel and others prior to buying a new Tundra. Good grief that was a close call!!!

I appreciate Toyota is offering a recall. GM, to my knowledge, isn't acknowledging the engine issues across the full lineup.

If its metal debris, I bet it has to do with the design of the motor creating it.

Comments are always from heaters and I’m sure they don’t even own any Tundra at all.. this truck is wonderful and all problems will be solved , I know many 3rd gen Tundra owners, not a single issue and all of them are very happy with their trucks

Dump it... it's a main bearing issue. And they starred happening in Feb 2023, but it took this long for a recall. It's a design issue

Traded in my 2024 1794 TRD. 3800 miles plastic junk all around, now this. Done!

For the people making the blanket statement “it’s a design flaw” then what specifically is the problem with the architecture of the engine AND can this be verified? If the engine is trash, how have we not seen larger failure numbers since the engine’s release in 2018?

easier said than done for me living on an island. if I wanna visit another dealer, I'd have to go on a boat. great info and true perspective btw. it's all relative.

What are you thoughts on the Lexus GX550? I ask because it's essentially the same engine. I'm waiting on mine allocated to me to come in. I still have the thought in the back of my mind. I officially have a lot more time to think about it because it's on QC hold for the moonroof.

I have a family member paying $2,400.00 a month for two 2022 Tundras for his landscape business. He would have been far better off buying 4 old Tundras.... but you know some people have to have the latest and "greatest" things... He bought them at $5k to $10k dealer markup too. He is so underwater on those things, it isn't even funny. I am not sure if he has had any of these issues though.

Samko. Thanks for the time you put into this video. It is appreciated. Lots of raging emotions out there and I am one of them as an owner of a 22 with 65k km. Your stats on how 90% of people will not even know about this is interesting however where do you get that stat from? For me it’s relevant info because I would like 2 to 4 weeks to get my head wrapped around this thing before I pull the trigger and if that stat is accurate then it will be slow moving and like you said will blow over and new and used sales will move along but likely with a dip in depreciation. However, as someone who did not purchase an extended warranty I feel pressured to make a move soon. I have faith my truck will be fine but if it isn’t then the thought of a failure at higher mileage and a sickening bill makes driving the truck less enjoyable.

I have a 22 1794 Edition Tundra. A little upset hearing that they were aware of a problem back in 22. My truck is paid off and I have the Extended Warranty. Biggest problem for me is the Hartford, CT dealership I bought from. Presently sitting on 4 Recalls, including current one with no fix yet. Brought it in 2 times for the electrical hazard where they have to drop the fuel tank. First drop off was too much gas, had about 3/4 tank and they told me had to be 1/4 tank or less. Scheduled the second time and made sure gas tank was below a 1/4 tank. Dropped it off went home and barely opened the door when they called me back to pick up the truck. Went back and they told me they did not have the repair parts. Since this one I am sitting on 2 other Recalls. As far as this major recall although it is less than 1% of the vehicles sold you have to think is it mine. Is it going to blow up on me when I am 300 miles from home? As others have torn this engine down to fix before the Recall occurred some have a feeling that it is a poorly designed part. Plus Toyota has no fix for this at the moment. Plan for me right now is just to keep it and live with it. States my vary but I would be really careful of selling a vehicle privately and not informing the buyer of what could be catastrophic engine failure.

I am glad that when Toyota designed this truck it was so ugly I was completely turned off. Than I learned it was going to be powered by a turbo six cylinder I went out and bought a 2020 5.7 V8. Saved me a lot of grief!

Great video. Maybe a follow up video for people deciding to keep their Tundra on best ways to add an extended warranty? I’ve never added one after the fact and never bought one on a Toyota, but this seems like the case to have one, especially if you have the hybrid Tundra. I wouldn’t run out tomorrow to buy one, I’d see if Toyota extends the warranty on their own first which is what they should do. I would also go to 6 months/5,000 mile oil changes and I’d get mine at the dealership so all the maintenance paperwork is in one spot in the event of a failure. Don’t give them any excuse to deny you down the road.

I’m waiting to see what they’re going to do. My options so far I’m considering is a current 4Runner or wrangler.

Thank you I’m keeping mine , we’re can you go No we’re. Toyota will take care of the problem.

I love my truck and going on 28k. With only 1% with an issue and them already acknowledging the issue I'm just going to keep going and so what occurs.

Does the recall include the iforce max? I heard Toyota wasn't recalling any hybrid because the electric motor still makes it "mobile"

I have a 23' and it says it is built in 8/23. The recall dates are manufactured 11/22-3/23 so hopefully fingers crossed. I bought a Tundra because of the Toyota brand and reputation and the rep of the 5.7. I may hang on to it within the power train warranty and see how the new 4Runners are doing by then.

Dealers and individuals will take advantage of those who offer a fire sale. I personally love my Rams, and Jeeps. I buy right, I buy extended warranty, I do the maintenance and don’t ignore a symptom. I enjoy my vehicles. I seriously doubt the Tundra is worse than anything else. Panic is the worst mode of operation. Great video for those who will listen. I agree the biggest problem is lack of engine swap vs repairs.

I leased a 2024 tundra I would be about 5-9k underwater if I returned it would should I do ?

Remember that the F150 is the best selling vehicle in the U.S. . If you wanted to correctly compare the two markets, you'd need to adjust used availability/vehicles sold. Really you'll want to average the market over a couple months and then use those numbers to calculate.

Can’t wait for 2024 Tacoma to have these problems as well

Apparently 95% of the people in these comments did not hear a damn thing you said in the video.

Would the debris in the oil have been removed/cleaned out if the owner got the oil changed at 500 miles and again at 3000? Every new vehicle I have purchased I change the oil twice before I start the recommended service intervals. I change all the fluids before the recommended times. Manufacture says the transmission fluid is good for 100k. I change at 50k. I put 245k miles on my Carolla and then gave it to my niece. She has put another 100k on it.

Sounds like the gem is a nissan titan. Still a v8, japan brand,9 speed. Very underrated truck.

Dump that POS - It’s not just the engine recall, the entire truck is poorly assembled and riddled with design flaws. If the engine doesn’t fall apart, something else will.

Actually I don't remember hearing about the Jeep engine issues. I knew Ford has had issues with the V6 EcoBoost, but I thought they had it ironed out by now. I had no idea the Bronco had engine issues. This is the first time I've heard of the GM 2.7 Turbo 4 banger having a cracked block. I new about the Hemi Tick lifter issue. I've also heard about the AFM on GM trucks being an issue.

Here in Canada, local tundras from 2022 are about $7k off. So not so bad. The problem is, if you take it to a dealer, they will never give you $7k off on a trade in, they'll take $12k to $15k off. The dealers know.

I have a 2023 Tundra SR5. Supposedly not impacted by Recall. Not sure what to do

I own 2023 1794 gas only tundra manufactured in Jan 2023. How come my vehicle is not showing under recall on Toyota or NHTSA websites? In the recall announcement, trucks manufactured till Feb 2023 are affected so how come mine is not included? Anyone else has this concern.

Cant be too mad about the situation, should have realized you were volunteering to be a Guinea Pig for a new platform, btw, Thanks for continuing to test out the Bugs for the manufacturer.

I just bought a 2024 Tundra Platinum less than 2 weeks ago. Should I not have purchased it? I don't know much about engines and all that so I'm worried I got hosed. Never had a Tundra before. They do owe me some hail damage repair from a storm the day before I picked it up. Should I try to get them to take it back? Honestly dont know how to handle it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm trading my 2023 sr5 this week. My first Toyota ever!!! Going back to the old Silverado I guess

I dumped mine the day after the recall. 2023 Tundra Platinum with 7k miles. I lost $12k value, and that was the best trade value I could get. I bought a 2024 Colorado Trail Boss.

Other channel but FYI: Wild Country has a recall on a bad batch of Ropeman 1s. Theres a post on their website and cpsc

Whats funny is here in California, Toyota has billboards with the Tundra kicking up dirt and a caption stating "most reliable brand." The irony of using the least reliable product lol

Hey Jason, Im in the same predicament with my 23 TRX. The truck has a handful of small and large issues. Rattles, clicks, noises where there shouldn't be, leaking shock, rear sliding glass window won't stay on the track, side mirror unresponsive to adjustment controls. Just unacceptable build quality. I love the truck but what's pushing me over the edge to dump it is the dealer experiences. Im on my third CDJR dealer trying to get my truck in for warranty repairs. It seems none of the dealers want to take on warranty repairs because they don't get paid as much from the manufacturer for a warranty repair vs customer pay. They lie and BS you until you move on to another dealer. The best you get is " drop it off, there is no guaranteed time before someone even looks at it, and we don't have any loaners for you". What is the NEW car warranty worth if you can't even get an APPOINTMENT to get your vehicle in? and if you do..they won't provide a loaner. Icing on the cake; New Safety Recall - 33B : Insufficient welds in steering column that would prevent DRIVER airbag from deploying in the event of an accident. As of today, no fix. Serious enough that FCA put a STOP SALE on unsold affected vehicles but consumers who have already purchased have to keep driving at a safety risk I guess.

Other channels are getting on to Dogde about the Demon 170 which is blowing motors left and right. Also the new 3.0 hurricane motors in the Wagoneer and now the Ram 1500 is failing too

Ford eco boost failures too

thanks for making this Sam and being a voice of reason. if i had a 22 or 23 i might consider trading in or selling. im thinking about keeping my 24 for 3 years...its only got 1500 miles on it .....then trade it in after ......will have 3.5 - 4 years left on my 7 year warranty and by then hopefully Toyota is dialled again.

Just bought a 24 and the recall came out 2 day later😂. Fortunately I bought from a dealer that offered lifetime engine warranty. My anxiety has come down a little. But you never know what happens next …..

I would not buy an aspirated engine, especially in a truck ,unless racing and performance was the intended use or it was a diesel.. The EPA has set emissions standards so tight to get folks to buy impractical EV's, that manufactures are having trouble meeting the new emission standards. The government has caused this mess and it's also making vehicles more expensive.

I am very excited about buying the 2024 tundra and here is why. I didn’t buy it, I actually leased it. All of the depreciation risk is now on Toyota. The best thing to do is negotiate the best lease possible. And take advantage of the multiple security deposits that Toyota allows you to do. You’re allowed to do 10, which will reduce the money factor Significantly. Now you can enjoy the truck and all the risk is now back on Toyota.

Im keeping my tundra 2024 1794 limited edition if something go wrong they have to fix it I have warranty for life.

2022-2023 fuel gauges don’t work. Can stall n run out of gas n get hit by another vehicle. Why no safety recall?

I can not imagine keeping one of these trucks outside of warranty, these shortblocks have a 28k price point I believe, imagine having to do that out of pocket, and if you have problems with the turbo you have to take the whole cab off it is nuts

i dumped mine for $52k, i bought it for $58k.... better now than later

I had a 24 Tundra TRD Pro and bailed on it for one of the last 4Runners. I took a $ bath but my bet was Toyota is not going to make good on this engine issue and resale values will continue to plummet for every 3rd Gen now and far into the future. Maybe nothing will happen to my truck, maybe it will hold its value in the future, maybe Toyota will do the right thing…too many ‘maybes’ for me. You may ask why buy another Toyota, didn’t this whole TTV6 issue piss you off? Well yes I’m pissed beyond words at Toyota but there’s no denying they got everything completely right with the 5th gen 4Runner. Maybe (LOL) I will be proven wrong with my decision and hopefully so for the rest of you that are stuck or decide to stay with the 3rd Gen Tundra. Good luck to all!

So mad I’m thinking to get a Nissan titan pro 4 v8

Who here remembers the turbo wastegate problem they had when these first came out?

So glad I jumped ship

the Tundra bottom block compared to the ford 2.7 block is not stout enough They are claiming debris..I doubt it..but you can not take a risk trade it now take the hit When they come out that it is more serious then you won’t be able to unload

Just wonder the percentage of used fords and chevys? They sell 10’s of thousands more trucks than Toyota and Ram so ya there should be more used ones. Whata ya say?

When I’m in Moab with literally thousands of Jeeps wheeling hard off-road (only where Jeeps can go) I’m amazed how reliable and tough these Wrangler and Gladiators are! 💪

Anything short of a new engine is not a real fix. Shortblock is a band aid as metal could be in nooks and cranny's of the engine. Sure, you may be fine for even 5-10 years but for those wanting to hold it for 100-150k miles its a huge gamble. Thats a massive bill you might be left with.

In times like these I just think "What would TRD Jon do?"

I'm guessing Toyota gives you perks !

This morning I seen and couldn’t believe a brand new tundra, DEARLER plates were still on….. blowing clouds,clouds of white smoke going down the 91w freeway (socal). Jeez, Toyota. Just bring back the V8 and I promise I’ll buy one Made me roll up the window since I was stuck behind him

Wow, would have never believed it. To hear a Stalintis product is the most reliable. Jeep? Still having trouble with this.

Now it’s over 100 thousand?

Lemon law them. Did my 2022. 100% buyback because of fuel gauge.

The Toyota punch bowl WAS awesome, until they dropped the "Turbo-TRD's" engines, In the Bowl! If you getting one, get a 24 4Runner, 😇

Trade it in for a Colorado or Frontier!

Does it affect Sequoia?

You're going to be shocked at the depreciation. I have a 2023 Tundra TRD Offroad Army Green XP Package, most dealers would give me most $45,000 which makes it a 30% depreciation, I had less than 5000 miles at the time. Then I tried on Market place, with dealers offering $8000 to $10,000 off with 1.9 financing, good luck trying to sell, I literally went a month without even one response. You're right though, I contacted a dealer 234 miles away from me, they had the 2024 4Runner I wanted on allocation, and although it was minimal, they did work with me and took away from some of my losses. Keep in mind of all the taxes you paid, you'll lose that selling on your own where you gain it back trading. Talking to Toyota corporate is a joke, they will not help you at all

Get rid of it under the lemon law if possible. However, if not got to dump it

I see a HUGE Class action in the works, and Toyota don't do a 2024 Tundra recall because a RECALL would put Dealers in a STOP SELL condition ,imagine all those UNSELLABLE $60,000 to $90,000 trucks sitting in DEALER lots until fixed!

I went from Toyota to Acura

Im not moving on from

Well, thank God for alcohol. Anyway, thanks Samco, for putting this in perspective. Honestly, looking at the big picture (and not to put on a tin foil hat) these CAFE standards have reaked havoc with the reliability of internal combustion engines. I think the eco-nazis are ELATED with these failures with all brands. Here's a data point for you: My 2023 Tundra has 9,600 miles on it and I paid 62,500 (TRD Limited). I looked into trading it in on a Tacoma Sport and they said they would give me 49K. The whole affair makes we want to just grab my 6.5 and bust some hogs.

Toyota Greed

The wait times will be egregious. Only Master techs are approved for this repair and there aren't enough of them to address the volume of repairs coming. Better get out and QUICK. TRADE TRADE TRADE

I have a 2020 5.7L Sequoia, and this whole thing has STILL left a bad taste in my mouth.

Why would a dealer take one of these as a trade except for some shady outfit All your comparisons are not valid The suitable comparison is the Hyundai/Kia theta engine They extended the warranty But I know somebody who purchased one used and wasn’t informed about warranty conditions The car failed at 100k miles and no warranty They had to walk away from it These tundras will be ticking time bombs the older they get the more that will fail

The dealers don't even want them as a trade-in at this point. The hybrids have the same problem. EDIT: If there is a less than 1% failure rate, why did they recall 100,000 of them? That's WAY more than 1%.

Save yourself the troubles and sell it

Yours should be fine. Yeah its fine. 😂

Put a V-8 in mine and I will be happy

Some people can, but I cant have a new truck at 1-2 yrs old going in for a new engine. It will never, and I say never be put right like assembly at the plant. Sorry. Its a sell as quick as I can

Upvoted you my friend😃

Frankly this is a shock to me. In college toyota was a case study because America reject Dr. Deming's management methodology. TQM, Total Quality Management. I really hope they did not succumb to current social engineering and heading towards Boeing woke management.

Don't hop out of the boiler and into a frying pan....

Lots of apples and oranges comparisons in this video not too helpful really. The data on Broncos for example showing sales post issues is flawed because there was a long wait list to buy. Comparing GM or Ford available used trucks to Tundra is not realistic. They always sell way more so they always have more used available. Not too mention all the trim levels and crazy configurations!!

Toyota is lying about this! That's the bigger issue. It doesn't involve one factory or one model . It is in a design flaw 100%

New ceo is to blame. Moved away from na v8 and v6 options to turbo 6 and 4 cylinder. Planned obsolescence in its finest with a little government incentives on top going their way. My 23 Tacoma is the last Toyota Tacoma I’ll buy. Won’t buy turbo anything.

U keep repeating the same thing and not getting to the point. Time is money man.
