My truck showed “Hybrid Engine Malfunction contact dealer” upon start up, then “Reduced Engine Performance Check Engine” warnings. I was not warned that I should not drive at all so I took my son to school. As I was driving home up a hill around 35 mph the temperature gauge began to climb fast towards the upper limit. At the upper red limit the car warned “Engine Overheating Stop Immediately” and I pulled over. The engine began smoking as I pulled over. I have an aftermarket Air Intake for the twin turbo and an aftermarket cat-back exhaust system but neither of these parts could have caused dramatic overheating of the main engine and failure of the hybrid system. Events happened over the span of about 15 min driving from start up to breakdown.

Vehicle Information: 2025 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 1794 Edition 4x4 (i-FORCE MAX Hybrid) VIN: [XXX] Component: Power Train / Automatic Transmission / Hybrid Propulsion System Description of Defect: I have discovered an active fluid leak originating from the transmission/bell housing area on my vehicle. There are currently no dashboard warning lights illuminated, and the transmission is not yet slipping or shifting roughly. However, the vehicle is actively dripping fluid onto the ground and undercarriage components from the powertrain assembly. Safety Risk: A transmission fluid leak on a high-pressure 10-speed automatic transmission presents an immediate safety hazard. If the transmission fluid level drops too low while driving at highway speeds, it can cause sudden power loss, transmission lock-up, or catastrophic mechanical failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, transmission fluid leaking onto hot exhaust or hybrid electrical components poses a severe vehicle fire risk.

Subject: Safety Complaint – 2025 Toyota Tundra – Sudden Acceleration Delay – T-SB-0032-26 – Two Near-Accidents. I am the owner of a 2025 Toyota Tundra and am filing this complaint to report a serious safety concern involving delayed acceleration from a stop or near-stop condition. My vehicle has experienced this problem on two separate occasions. When I attempted to accelerate, the truck did not respond as expected, creating a dangerous situation and nearly causing a car accident on both occasions. The delay in acceleration left me unable to move forward as quickly as required by the traffic conditions. I am concerned that this issue could result in a serious collision, injury, or loss of life. I understand that Toyota issued Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0032-26, titled “Hesitation from a Rolling Stop,” addressing hesitation from a rolling stop or quick stop on certain Toyota Tundra vehicles. My experience appears consistent with the condition described in this bulletin. I took my truck to Toyota Service in [XXX], on two separate occasions to have this issue inspected. On both occasions, the service department declined to identify or address a problem, stating that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. As a result, I remain concerned that the safety issue has not been properly investigated or resolved. I believe this matter warrants NHTSA's attention because an unexpected delay in acceleration can create a dangerous situation when entering traffic, crossing intersections, or responding to changing road conditions. I respectfully request that NHTSA Review this complaint and investigate the delayed-acceleration issue affecting my 2025 Toyota Tundra. Examine whether the condition described in Toyota Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0032-26 represents a safety-related defect. Investigate whether affected vehicles require a mandatory safety recall or another appropriate corrective action. I appreciate the prompt solution to this issue ASAP.

Here's your description, about 1,750 characters, so it fits the 2,000 limit: --- My 2025 Toyota Tundra has two intermittent defects that have not been repaired despite multiple visits to Berglund Toyota in [XXX] 1. Driver's door will not unlock. Intermittently, when I press unlock on the key fob, all doors unlock except the driver's door. I have video showing me standing outside the truck with the fob in hand while the driver's door stays locked and the other doors open normally. The dealer disassembled the door and checked the wiring and connections but could not duplicate the problem and found no codes. A Toyota field technician also inspected the truck. No parts have been replaced because the failure could not be reproduced in the shop. When this happens I cannot get into the driver's seat of my vehicle, which is a safety concern, especially in an emergency or bad weather. 2. Tailgate fails in two ways. Sometimes when raised it will not latch closed. Other times it becomes stuck in the down position and cannot be raised, even manually. On one occasion this happened in a store parking lot, and I had to secure my load with a cargo net across the open bed to drive home. The truck has been to the dealer for the tailgate more than once. The dealer has ordered latch parts, but it has not been confirmed that this will correct the stuck-down condition. Both problems are intermittent and can occur at any time. My wife and I are in our [XXX] and rely on this vehicle. Toyota has been notified in writing. Other 2025 Tundra owners have reported the driver's door locking when the tailgate is operated, which may indicate the two problems are related. Root cause: UNKNOWN. No warning lights or codes appeared before the door failures. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Manufacturer communications
A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.
ENGINE
Flash reprogramming allows the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software to be updated without replacing the ECU. Flash calibration updates for specific vehicle models/ECUs are released as field-fix procedures described in individual Service Bulletins. This bulletin details the Global Techstream+ (GTS+) ECU flash reprogramming procedures and outlines use of the Technical Information System (TIS) and the Calibration Update Wizard+ (CUW+). To ensure the correct ECU software is installed, ECUs will require a Security Signature before the ECU will initialize the flash reprogramming sequence. This bulletin also details the process for acquiring a Security Signature from TIS during the GTS+ ECU flash reprogramming process.
ENGINE
This Customer Support Program provides coverage as it applies to the engine turbocharger assemblies on certain 2022 – 2025 Model Year Tundra, 2022 – 2025 Model Year Tundra HV, and 2023 – 2025 Model Year Sequoia models. The specific condition covered by this program is for corrosion of the turbocharger assembly’s wastegate bushing and pin due to defects in materials or workmanship. If this occurs, the engine warning light will illuminate after engine start up and there could be a reduction in acceleration performance. When the engine warning light illuminates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) P25B372, P25B473, P25B572, and/or P25B673 are set in the engine Electronic Control Unit (ECU). If the condition is verified, the vehicle will be repaired with improved turbos under the terms of this Customer Support Program

STRUCTURE:BODY
Some 2025 – 2026 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles may exhibit that the tailgate will not power close when the button on either the key fob or on the vehicle is pressed. This is observed after applying weight on the tailgate in an open position.
POWER TRAIN
Some customers of 2022 – 2026 model year Tundra vehicles equipped with specifically non-hybrid V35A-FTS engines may experience one or more of the following drivability related concerns: • Hesitation from a rolling stop. • Hesitation from a quick stop.
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
