On April 7, 2026, at 5:00 PM, while driving, I noticed something unusual with my car, and it broke down on the side of the road, leaving me panicked and frightened. After the car stopped, I got out and looked at the engine from underneath; I saw engine oil spraying out of the engine. I then had the car towed to a safe location, and a few days later, I took it to the Toyota dealership.

Vehicle Information: 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited TRD Off-Road (Equipped with Factory Tires) [1] Current Mileage: Approximately 26,000 miles Description of Safety Defect: The factory-installed tires on this vehicle are exhibiting premature, severe tire dry rot (sidewall/tread cracking) and highly accelerated, uneven tread wear at only 26,000 miles. The depth of the rot and the erratic wear pattern present an immediate structural hazard, significantly increasing the risk of a sudden tread separation, sidewall blowout, or catastrophic tire failure at highway speeds. Despite proper vehicle maintenance, alignment checks, and routine tire rotations, the rubber compound has degraded at an unacceptable and unsafe rate for a low-mileage, modern vehicle. This premature deterioration compromises wet-weather traction, braking efficiency, and overall vehicle handling. The severe degradation of these original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires constitutes a clear manufacturing defect that poses an ongoing safety risk to the driver, passengers, and other motorists on the road.

Recall # 25V767 has been open since November 6, 2025 and the remedy is not yet available. There is a possibility that certain machining debris may not have been cleared from the engine when it was produced which can lead to potential engine knocking, engine rough running, engine no start, and/or a loss of motive power. I am concerned about this being a major safety issue and also concerned about the fact that the recall has been open since November 2025 and there is still no remedy.
