Toyota Tundra: Owner Complaints and Recalls by Model Year
This is the Toyota Tundra complaint and recall record by model year (2000–2026). 6,582 owner reports are on file across 23 years. 2000 has the highest count (999) — often because that year has had longer to collect reports, not because this page ranked it. Open a year to see what owners named, the recall list, and the filings themselves.
Toyota Tundra filings that NHTSA splits across body-style names are combined here. Related weight classes stay separate.
Across these years, owners named Body / frame more often than any other part of the truck. Unclassified leftovers from NHTSA are not a diagnosis.
In plain English
Across 23 years of the Toyota Tundra, owners named Body / frame more often than any other system. That is a pattern in the file, not a diagnosis of the vehicle in the driveway.
2000 has the most reports (999). Older years collect more filings just by being around longer. Open the year you are actually buying — not the peak year unless that is the one in the listing.
Each row is a model year. The system column is what owners named most that year. Click the year for the inspect list, the recall campaigns, and the owner text.

Frequently asked questions
Which Toyota Tundra year has the most NHTSA complaints?
2000 has the highest owner-report count in this snapshot (999). That is not a recommendation to avoid the year.
What do Toyota Tundra owners complain about most?
Across published years, owners named Body / frame more often than any other system. Open the year you are buying for the mix, the recall list and the inspect steps.
How should I use this Toyota Tundra page before I buy?
Open the model year in the listing — not the peak year unless that is the one you are shopping. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov, inspect the system owners named most, then read a few owner filings.
Do these counts mean the Toyota Tundra is unreliable?
No. Counts are self-selected and not normalised for sales volume. YearTell does not publish reliability scores.
Are Toyota Tundra body styles merged?
Where NHTSA splits the same consumer vehicle across cab or body-style names, YearTell combines those filings. Distinct weight classes stay separate.
