Body & Structure Recalls (1)
STRUCTURE:BODY
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles that may be equipped with a Toyota genuine accessory tonneau cover. The tonneau cover attachment joints may come loose and allow the cover to detach.
Fix: Owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota dealer. Dealer will install new hardware (bolts, spacers, washers, nuts, rubber washers and cotter pins) to the existing bracket and tonneau cover. If the tonneau cover has tears or splits at the mounting holes to the extent that new hardware cannot be installed, it will be replaced with a new tonneau cover and hardware. Owners will receive a notice once the remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 23TB03/23TA03.
Owner Complaints (7)
While driving on the highway at 70 mph, your fuel tank protection panel came loose when its support bracket broke. Air pressure pushed the panel down until it hit the road, bounced back, and struck the fuel tank area. Inspection revealed the bracket had fabrication errors and material contamination that caused it to fail prematurely, creating a potential safety risk to your fuel tank.

The trim around your rear passenger window keeps coming loose and could potentially fly off and hit other vehicles. You've taken it to the dealer twice for repairs, but the problem persists — it appears the door itself wasn't manufactured properly, preventing the window trim from fitting and staying in place securely. The driver's side rear door doesn't have this issue, and you've noticed the same problem on multiple new vehicles at the dealership.

Your truck's tow mirrors are positioned so high that they create a large blind spot you can't see over, even at 5'10" or taller. The excessive plastic around the mirrors makes this worse. You've had multiple close calls because of this blind spot, including an incident where a car at 60 mph nearly hit you when pulling onto a road.

Your passenger side front window has come off its track and won't move up or down. The dealership says the window regulator and motor need to be replaced. You're reporting that other 2023 Tundra owners have experienced similar window failures. A stuck window in either position could be a safety concern, particularly in emergency situations.

It has been over 5 months since receiving the recall notice of the 2023 tundra tonneau cover (23TA03). Dealer asked me to wait for a toyota fix multiple times and then did not respond to further requests for answers solutions or a refund for the part that I did not want.
