The contact's husband owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the key fob failed to unlock the front driver’s side door. Due to the failure, the contact was forced to lock the front driver’s side door manually after exiting the vehicle. The contact was forced to enter the vehicle through the front passenger’s side door and crawl over to the front driver side seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and an estimate was provided for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

I am filing this complaint regarding my Toyota Tundra and Toyota Safety Recall 24TA07. My vehicle was previously affected by this engine recall, and Toyota replaced the engine as the recall remedy. The replacement engine has now failed with the same or substantially similar engine issue that resulted in the original recall and engine replacement. I am very concerned that a replacement engine installed as the remedy for a safety recall has experienced the same type of failure. This vehicle has now experienced engine failure involving two separate engines: the original recalled engine and the replacement engine installed by Toyota under Recall 24TA07. The Vehicle is at the Toyota dealer. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether replacement engines being installed under this recall may also be susceptible to the same or a similar defect. I would also like this complaint documented because I am concerned about the safety and reliability of the vehicle and whether Toyota's recall remedy adequately corrected the original safety issue. I am requesting that Toyota provide a permanent remedy for my vehicle at no cost to me. I would also like information regarding my rights and available remedies given that the engine replaced under the safety recall has now failed, including whether this repeat failure may qualify for additional manufacturer remedies or protections under applicable warranty or state lemon law.

This 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro is subject to Limited Service Campaign 24TD01 for premature tire wear, caused by a factory front toe/camber angle defect acknowledged by Toyota. The vehicle received the campaign remedy (front alignment adjustment and tire replacement) in May 2024, but the same wear pattern on the front tires reappeared and has continued for over a year, documented across multiple dealership visits. A dealership technician found abnormal front tire wear on three separate occasions (August 2025, September 2025, and March 2026) but never recommended a front-end alignment despite Toyota's own campaign identifying alignment/camber as the root cause. As of August 2026, the right front tire tread had worn down to approximately 1/32 inch, an unsafe condition, and only then was an alignment finally recommended in writing for the first time. The vehicle also had a documented brake rotor warping issue (front rotors) as early as November 2024, causing a braking vibration above 40 mph that has persisted. The recurring tire wear presents an ongoing safety risk due to reduced traction and control, particularly relevant given the near-bald tire condition reached before any alignment correction was recommended by the servicing dealer.
Frequently asked questions
What are the most common problems on the 2022 Toyota Tundra?
Owners named Engine most often — 127 of 423 reports (30%). That is the NHTSA file, not a diagnosis of every vehicle.
Are there recalls for the 2022 Toyota Tundra?
NHTSA lists 13 safety recall campaigns. They were filed about Rear camera / backup safety, Transmission / driveline, Electrical, Body / frame, Fuel system, Engine, and Lights. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov; a campaign on this page can still be open on a specific vehicle.
What should I inspect before buying a 2022 Toyota Tundra?
Look up the VIN for open recalls. Have a shop check for oil consumption, coolant leaks, rough idle and unusual engine noise. Then skim owner filings for the same symptom and take that list to a mechanic.
Does a high complaint count mean I should skip this year?
No. Counts are reports people chose to file and they are not adjusted for sales volume. YearTell does not publish scores or a list of years to skip. Inspect the vehicle.
