Recalls on the 2025 Toyota Tundra

A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

Canada — Transport Canada

Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones.

Recall 2026026 12,179 units in Canada

Visual System

Issue: Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image to freeze or not to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing. Note: This recall affects both Tundra and Tundra hybrid models equipped with a panoramic view monitor system. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the parking assist electronic control unit software.

Recall 2025522 32,733 units in Canada

Visual System

Issue: Under certain conditions, a problem with the rearview camera could cause the rearview camera image not to display correctly or at all. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 14-inch multimedia display. For the Tundra model, this recall affects both Tundra and Tundra hybrid models. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Toyota will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the multimedia display software.

Recall 2025263 45,684 units in Canada

Lights And Instruments

Issue: On certain trucks, the reverse lamp assemblies may not be sealed correctly. As a result, over time, water could leak into the lamp(s) and cause them not to work. Note: This recall affects both Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models. Safety Risk: Reverse lamps that don't work could cause others not to recognize when a vehicle is backing up, and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace both reverse lamp assemblies. Additionally, the dealer will inspect and, if necessary, repair the wiring for the reverse lamps.

Recalls cover specific build ranges, so check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or, in Canada, Transport Canada.

Clover, SC Crash

POWER TRAIN

Unintended acceleration. When you stop the truck, and have the brake on, the rpms go down to idle ~650. As soon as you lift the brake, without touching the accelerator, the vehicle starts ramping up the rpms and moving. On level ground it will go to 1000 easily before you have to stop it. It will pull up a grade even while towing my boat. If you're in a line a traffic, say at a traffic light, and the light changes, traffic moves and the car ahead takes off their brakes, and you do same, the truck starts moving faster than the vehicle ahead without touching anything. It's idling too fast without the brake and doesn't stay at idle once the brake is off before you push the accelerator. First the dealer told me everything was "Normal" - it's supposed to do that. I've been driving vehicles since 1962, so I think I know what I'm talking about. They told me to call Toyota. Toyota started a case. They took it in for an factory inspection because I think this might be related to a non highway collision with a bldg, I had shortly after I got it, I'm not sure. I put into park in a parking space but apparently it didn't engage, only into reverse. I was looking for something and the truck started backing up and hit the gas station bldg close behind. The anti-collision was off, because you have to turn it off to tow. And I hadn't turned it back on yet. This truck has way too many audible alarms and very annoying, especially when backing or exit the vehicle. I don't need to know that I'm out of the vehicle.

Lemont, IL Crash

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

The vehicle does not predictably respond to throttle inputs (if it responds at all), when you come off the brake pedal it will begin rolling at "idle" speed as normal but when you begin to increase throttle input NOTHING will happen for several very important seconds as you roll into an intersection or need the vehicle to accelerate to maneuver. This had happened multiple times before scheduling service appointments. The day BEFORE my appointment while trying to make a right hand turn from EB 13st St in Lemont IL to SB Bell Rd, i had stopped for the red light, verified clearance to make the turn, and began my maneuver. Once I came off the brake pedal the vehicle began to roll into the intersection but as I began to turn the vehicle and try to accelerate though the turn it did not respond WHATSOEVER. I desperately tried to roll my vehicle into the ditch to make space the incoming vehicles to minimize danger, but had no power to do so and was violently T-boned. The vehicle was brought to the dealer for their analysis, the service manager initially claimed "I know exactly what it is" and continued to ask questions that prompted previous knowledge of this issue including what speeds and conditions it will occur at.. two weeks later the vehicle is "ready" and the manager claims the "eprom" had 2 pages of codes in it and that "got rid of the hesitation" I take him for a test drive with me and was able to recreate the issue a few times at which point he said "i understand your frustration with the truck but its a GOOD TRUCK" I drove the truck a few days and continued to experience dangerous and unpredictable delays in throttle response, one of which almost caused me to be rear-ended by a semi while merging from IL-rt83 onto I-55 nb The vehicle has been left behind on a family road trip as it is not safe enough for my family. In hind sight I wish I had the opportunity to submit it to NHTSA for examination after the crash rather than than Toyota. PLEASE DO SOMeTHING

STEERING

On August 31, 2025, my 2025 Toyota Tundra experienced a sudden steering failure while I was driving, which caused an accident with a parked vehicle. The steering wheel completely seized up and I was unable to control the vehicle. This was a serious safety hazard that put my life and the lives of others on the road at risk. The vehicle showed warning messages and error codes related to the steering system immediately before and after the crash. The problem was unexpected and there was no prior damage to the vehicle that would explain this. The vehicle is currently at a Toyota dealership, where the dealer has confirmed that the inspection has been submitted to Toyota corporate for review. My insurance company has also inspected the vehicle. At this time, Toyota has not provided me with a resolution. This appears to be a manufacturer defect in the steering system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Sioux Falls, SD

POWER TRAIN

On July 20, the vehicle experienced a catastrophic mechanical failure resulting in a total engine seizure while operating. The failure caused an immediate, sudden loss of motive power, forcing the vehicle to become completely immobilized on the Interstate highway. This unexpected loss of propulsion created an immediate and severe highway crash hazard for myself and surrounding traffic. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Toyota dealership on July 20 under the 5-year/60,000-mile factory powertrain warranty. The vehicle has remained completely out of service since that date. The dealership has tentatively scheduled the engine repair and replacement to begin on August 24 or 25, meaning the vehicle will have been non-operational and out of service for over 35 consecutive days before repairs even commence.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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)

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.

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.

POWER TRAIN

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.

285/65R18 All four tires have accelerated wear on the outside edge at approximately 20k miles while the middle and inside o the tires has about 80% tread left. I believe the tire was not cambered correctly as delivered from the factory settings.

NHTSA complaint #11741486 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
