What's recalled

Component: Powertrain / transmission (axle assembly, axle shaft)

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles. The flange nuts on the axle shaft sub-assemblies can loosen over time and potentially cause one or both axle shaft sub-assemblies to separate from the axle housing.

The risk

Axle shaft separation can cause a loss of vehicle stability and brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Dealers will inspect the rear axle assembly, tighten the axle flange nuts, and replace any damaged axle-related components if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 15, 2022. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 22TA05.

Status: NHTSA lists Aug 5, 2022 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.
