FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
Were were driving, my 2021 Toyota Tundra, just stopped running. No check engine lights had come on until the engine stalled as we coasted to a stop on the side of the road. We had it towed to the Central Maine Motor in Waterville, Maine 04901. Central Maine Motor -Toyota service just got my truck in to a service bay today 1/29/26 and in formed me the failure was due to the fuel pressure module and a fuel pump failure. Toyota has other years of vehicles that they have issues recalls for and my truck has the same fuel system and fuel pump as in those year vehicles, but no recalls for my truck, a 2021 Toyota Tundra built in Sept/Oct of 2020.

NHTSA SAFETY RECALL DELAY COMPLAINT Complainant: [XXX] State: Illinois Vehicle: •Year/Make/Model: 2023 Toyota Tundra SR5 Crew Max •VIN: [XXX] •Current Mileage: approx. 16,000 miles Recall Number: Toyota Safety Recall 25TB06 Dealer Holding Vehicle: Romeoville Toyota 684 S. Weber Road Romeoville, IL 60446 ________________________________________ Description of the Safety Issue and Delay I am filing this complaint to report an excessive and unreasonable delay in remedying a safety-related recall on my vehicle. My 2023 Toyota Tundra SR5 Crew Max has been out of service at an authorized Toyota dealership (Romeoville Toyota) since June 18, 2025 due to Toyota Safety Recall 25TB06. As of today, the vehicle has remained unrepaired for 224+ days with no confirmed completion date. Despite repeated inquiries, neither the dealership nor Toyota has provided a definitive timeline for completing the recall repair. While a rental vehicle has been provided, I remain without access to my own truck and have experienced an extended loss of use far exceeding what would be considered reasonable for a safety recall remedy. A manufacturer safety recall is intended to correct a defect within a reasonable period of time. A delay exceeding seven months leaves the consumer without their vehicle and raises concerns about Toyota’s ability to timely and adequately remedy safety defects once a vehicle is removed from service. This prolonged delay undermines the purpose of a safety recall and places an unfair burden on the consumer. I am requesting that NHTSA review this matter and intervene to ensure Toyota Motor North America provides a timely and appropriate remedy, including repair completion or alternative relief.

ENGINE
Vehicle experienced sudden engine shutdown at highway speed. While traveling at highway speed, the internal combustion engine shut off without warning. The hybrid system temporarily allowed propulsion, which enabled me to move the vehicle out of traffic and off the highway shoulder. After stopping, the vehicle would not restart for approximately 20 minutes. During this time, the vehicle was disabled and would not turn on. After the waiting period, the vehicle restarted and operated normally. No warning lights or messages were present prior to the shutdown. This event created a dangerous situation at highway speed and posed a significant safety risk to myself and my passengers. The vehicle is a 2022 Toyota Tundra Hybrid (i-FORCE MAX). Since the incident, the vehicle has been driven approximately 10,000 miles without recurrence, but the cause of the shutdown was never identified. I am concerned this event may be related to known engine defects or reliability issues reported for this model year.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
On my 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Hybrid at 72,241 miles, the vehicle started making a knocking noise. Engine turned off and wont start at all. Had the truck hauled to toyota dealership for service. After them having it a week, they called to let me know that the engine is completely locked up. Metal Shavings in the oil and motor wont turn over at all, even with a rachet on the crank bolt. Luckily I bought a extended warranty when i purchased the truck used as toyota is claiming only the non hybrid engines are under the toyota recall for the engines. After reading and researching they have the same engine just one doesnt have the hybrid assist on it. Toyota told me that the extended warranty company was coming today to check it out and would let me know where to go from here. They said its a very very uncommon issue on the hybrids but after researching that, that was a lie.

There is a lag when you accelerate. Many people notice a throttle lag and I’ve asked the dealer to fix it, but they said it is not a recall.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I am submitting this complaint to report a serious vehicle safety incident involving a sudden and complete loss of power while driving at highway speed. Vehicle Information: Make: Toyota Model: Tundra Model Year: 2023 VIN: [XXX] Incident Description: While driving at highway speed, my vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of power. The vehicle immediately lost propulsion, creating a dangerous situation for myself and my family. This event occurred without warning and required immediate action to safely exit traffic. Following the incident, the vehicle was taken to an authorized Toyota service facility. After inspection, the vehicle required a full engine replacement. The repair was completed, and the vehicle was returned to me. However, despite the repair, the incident has caused a lasting loss of confidence in the vehicle’s safety for highway operation. My family and I now avoid highway driving due to fear that a similar loss-of-power event could recur. Important Clarifications: • No collision or personal injury occurred, but the situation posed a significant safety risk. • The loss of power occurred at highway speed, not during low-speed or idle conditions. • The vehicle required a complete engine replacement following the incident. • The repair itself does not address the safety concern related to sudden power loss at speed. Current Safety Concern: Although the vehicle is currently operable, I do not feel it is safe to use on highways due to the nature of the original failure. The sudden loss of propulsion at highway speed presents a serious safety risk to occupants and other road users. I am submitting this report so that NHTSA is aware of this incident and can evaluate whether similar incidents may be occurring with this vehicle or powertrain configuration. Thank you for your attention to this safety matter.
