2024 Toyota Tundra Exterior lighting Problems

My 2024 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition, VIN [XXX], is subject to Toyota Safety Recall 25TA06, Interim 25TB06, NHTSA Recall 25V322, concerning reverse lamps that may become inoperable. The recall was announced in May 2025, but a repair remedy has still not been made available for my vehicle. The truck is primarily used for family transportation, including trips and nighttime driving. I experienced a minor, low-speed property-damage incident while reversing in a poorly lit garage area. Visibility behind and beside the vehicle was limited, and the truck contacted a garage-door support column before the garage lighting came on. The incident caused minor cosmetic side damage. There were no injuries, no structural damage, no police report, and no insurance claim. I previously advised Toyota that I had experienced an issue related to the recall. Toyota opened Customer Experience Case [XXX]. Toyota offered to keep my truck at a dealership indefinitely and provide alternate transportation until a remedy became available, but it could not guarantee a comparable Tundra 1794 or provide an estimated repair date. Toyota later opened repurchase review Case [XXX]. I promptly provided the requested documentation, but despite repeated telephone and email follow-ups, Toyota has not provided a meaningful review timeline, vehicle inspection date, or final determination. My primary complaint to NHTSA is the extended period without an available safety remedy and the continuing risk to owners operating affected vehicles. I respectfully request that NHTSA review the adequacy and timeliness of Toyota’s recall remedy process for this defect.

Vehicle has two open Toyota safety recalls that have remained unresolved for over a year. NHTSA campaign 25V322 (manufacturer no. 25TB06) covers reverse lamp assembly corrosion. NHTSA campaign 25V767 (manufacturer no. 25TB14) covers a V35A engine manufacturing defect where leftover machining debris can damage the main bearing, leading to engine knocking, rough running, no-start, or loss of drive power while driving. No engine symptoms have occurred to date. However, the vehicle is used for rideshare and delivery work, meaning passengers and cargo are regularly on board while this known defect remains unremedied. The dealership stated it could not address the engine recall and directed me to Toyota corporate. Toyota corporate opened a case and confirmed no remedy is currently available for this recall. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer or manufacturer, as no repair or inspection procedure has yet been provided to perform one. No warning lamps or dashboard messages have been observed. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Concern: a known crash-risk engine defect (loss of drive power) has been acknowledged by the manufacturer for over a year with still no completed remedy, while the vehicle continues to be operated commercially with passengers.

I have only owned the truck since mid April of 2026. The truck has 12000 miles on it. I have only put 200 miles on the truck... 150 miles are driving to the dealership. Engine recall notification was sent out last week of May 2026. Still an open recall for reverse lights with no remedy. Took Tundra into dealer at the beginning of May 2026 to get two other "electronic/infotainment" system recalls repaired. I bought the truck used from a dealership. Had three open recalls (electronic x's 2 and reverse light). Got two of three fixed. A few weeks later I get the engine recall. Really Toyota... I took the truck to Maplewood Toyota on 5/28/26. There it sits waiting for repairs. I asked about getting out of the truck and my option was trade it in at KBB value ($45k-ish) I paid $57k and $3k for extended warranty for a total of $60k. I am not going to eat $15k on trading in the truck. Toyota should STOP selling vehicles with these engines NOW! These engines should not be on the road or being sold - PERIOD. Toyota still using the "debris" in engine from manufacturing in 2024 is criminal. We are talking about the debris issue in 2022, 2023, 2024 engines.... This is outright criminal. Shame on you Toyota. I am a Toyota buyer. I own a 2019 Corolla. My friends and family are also Toyota owners. This V35A engine is a complete failure and production should be stopped. I kick myself for not doing more research before buying the truck. I never would have purchased knowing the ongoing engine issues. Dumb me - I am buying a Toyota because I trust there is no reason to worry - boy was I wrong. Please hold Toyota accountable for this. Toyota should buy back every vehicle that has this engine if the owners want that option. Anyone with a 2022 - 2026 V35A engine - drive at your own and everyone else on the road - risk.

I am filing this complaint regarding an active safety recall on my 2024 Toyota Tundra involving manufacturing debris left in the V35A 3.4L twin-turbocharged V6 engine during production. This recall has been open for multiple years and spans over 250,000 vehicles across the 2022–2024 Tundra, Lexus LX 600, and 2024 Lexus GX 550. The manufacturing debris causes damage to the engine’s main bearings, resulting in engine knocking, rough running, failure to start, and sudden loss of motive power while driving at speed — a condition Toyota itself acknowledges increases the risk of a crash. Toyota deployed a remedy consisting of full engine replacement; however, Toyota has since acknowledged that the replacement engines are experiencing the same failures, meaning there is currently no confirmed, working fix. Despite this, Toyota continued selling new vehicles with this known defect. Remedy deadlines have been repeatedly promised and repeatedly missed, with the latest expected resolution pushed to July/August 2026 — a deadline that has already slipped multiple times. As an owner, I am left driving a vehicle that Toyota acknowledges is dangerous, with no confirmed timeline for a legitimate repair, and suffering significant financial harm due to the ongoing depreciation and diminished resale value caused directly by this unresolved defect.

Toyota issued a recall (NHTSA 25V322) over a year ago. We are now more than a year beyond the issuance date of this recall and Stop Sale order for affected vehicles. There is still no remedy available for this recall and from what I can tell, none in sight. Additionally, on 11/6/25, Toyota issued a recall (NHTSA 25V767) related to potential engine failure. Over 6 months after this recall and Stop Sale notice there is no remedy available. Both of these issues go beyond what most would consider remedying the issues in a “timely manner”.

My 2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum (VIN [XXX] ) had multiple times where I had delayed throttle response which created close call of accident while turning. I researched my VIN and it is subject to Safety Recall 25TA14 for V35A engine stall due to manufacturing machining debris causing main bearing failure. Toyota has issued this recall but NO repair remedy is currently available. The authorized dealer (Ed Martin Toyota, Indianapolis, Indiana) has confirmed they do not have authority to perform the repair and cannot provide a remedy timeline. I have surrendered the vehicle because I do not feel safe operating it. I am without transportation indefinitely. This vehicle has also been subject to four additional safety recalls: 26TA02, 25TA10, 25TA06, and 24TA02. I previously filed a formal buyback claim with Toyota Motor North America (Claim No. XXX) in November 2024 which was denied. Toyota has since issued three additional recalls on this same vehicle. I am requesting federal intervention and investigation into Toyota’s failure to provide a timely remedy for this safety recall.” INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

NHTSA 25V322 indicates potential issue with reverse lamp assemblies as well as the remedy. Recall Status indicates "remedy not yet available". It has been over 6 months (5/15/25 to 2/9/26) since this safety recall was filed. This has been an unreasonably long time and Toyota should be compelled to initiate the remedy immediately and provide a detailed explanation as to why it is failing to meet its own code of conduct with respect to product safety and the law.
