Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

I am reporting a severe thermal and electrical safety hazard regarding the OEM wireless charging pad in a 2025 Toyota Tundra. During standard vehicle operation, the integrated charging pad overheats to extreme temperatures. On a recent drive, the heat generated by the vehicle's charging pad was so intense that it physically melted, blistered, and deformed a MagSafe-compatible protective case on a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. This safety issue has been brought to an authorized dealership, Toyota of Hollywood (Repair Order #[XXX]), for a second consecutive time. The dealership officially documented the property damage in writing on the invoice, stating: 'Phone got melted from how hot it gets.' However, they refused to perform repairs or disable the system, explicitly noting: 'Vehicle was compared to another and both doing the same.' By admitting that multiple new vehicles exhibit this exact overheating behavior, the manufacturer is confirming a systemic and unaddressed design or manufacturing defect. An in-dash electrical component capable of melting plastic poses an immediate cabin fire hazard, risks triggering thermal runaway in the mobile device's lithium-ion battery, and directly threatens occupant safety. Toyota Corporate has opened Case #[XXX], but no remedy or safety recall has been provided." INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Heads up display(HUD) and windshield incompatibility issues from factory making HUD display blurry. Very distracting while driving because you’re too busy trying to see clearly and it takes away time from playing attention to the road. Lots of reports online about blurry HUD with 3rd generation toyota tundra from the beginning model year all the way up to most recent model year- it seems like they’re not doing anything about it. People online have reported getting dizzy while driving when trying to focus on the HUD- possible cause of accidents? Please look into this!

Toyota Tundra 2025 Limited stalled at highway speeds. The vehicle flashed "Parking Brake Support" message, but dealer says it has to do with an engine failure. Vehicle came to a grinding stop and would only advance in short spurts before dying on the side of the road. I was in the left lane of a major highway during rush hour. Luckily, traffic was behind me, and I was able to limp to the shoulder before traffic arrived. I noticed nothing prior. A loose gas cap may have prompted the system to send failure message. I haven't heard yet why it stalled. But my safety was definitely put at risk, and I was lucky to not be rearended

Have owned the 2025 Toyota Tundra for about 18 months. Multiple instances of delayed acceleration when stopped or almost stopped, sometimes as much as 3 or 4 seconds. Last time was in early June, 2026. This is very dangerous because when I pull out into an intersection it will start to go but then lose all power for a few seconds with traffic coming behind me. This is something Toyota needs to look into.

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V322000(EXTERIOR LIGHTING); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the passenger's side brake light and turn signal lights had become inoperable. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 23,000

I have experienced a severe hesitation or delay in acceleration when accelerating from a stop or near-stop condition. While the issue has only occurred a few times over the past several months, on multiple occasions it happened while merging into traffic and nearly resulted in an accident. Toyota has issued Technical Service Bulletin (TSB-0032-26) addressing this condition. However, when I brought my vehicle to the dealership, Toyota documented that they were unable to reproduce or confirm the hesitation, and no repair was performed. This defect presents a significant safety risk. Unexpected loss of acceleration during traffic merges, intersections, or other situations requiring immediate power can place drivers and passengers in danger and could lead to serious injury or death. Given the safety implications and the fact that the remedy appears to be a software update requiring less than an hour to perform, I believe this issue warrants a formal safety recall rather than a voluntary Technical Service Bulletin. I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter and require Toyota to provide a recall remedy for all affected vehicles.
