JANUARY 19
2007

533,124 vehicles recalled

2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA -- On certain trucks and mini vans, due to possible improper finishing of the front suspension lower ball joint, some ball joints may experience an incidental deterioration of the internal lubrication. This may cause the ball joint to wear and loosen prematurely, which could result in increased steering effort, reduced vehicle self-centering, and noise in the front suspension.

In extreme cases, if the vehicle is continuously operated in this condition, the lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control.

Dealers will replace the front suspension lower ball joints. The recall began on February 28, 2007. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #07V013000 »

NHTSA Campaign #05V254000 AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY

JUNE 02
2005

156,111 vehicles recalled

2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA -- Certain pickup trucks fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 225, 'Child Restraint Anchorage Systems.' These vehicles have a manual air bag on-off switch to disable the front passenger air bag and do not have a child restraint lower anchorage system in the front passenger seat. This specification does not meet the standard requirements.

This standard establishes requirements for child restraint anchorage systems to ensure their proper location and strength for the effective securing of child restraints, to reduce the likelihood of the anchorage systems' failure, and to increase the likelihood that child restraints are properly secured and thus more fully achieve their potential effectiveness in motor vehicles.

Dealers will remove the manual air bag on-off switch, replace the owner's manual, and affix a new sun visor air bag warning label. The recall began in early January 2007. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #05V254000 »

NHTSA Campaign #05V123000 ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM

MARCH 30
2005

5,726 vehicles recalled

2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA -- Certain pickup trucks equipped with both vehicle stability control (vsc) and the trd dual exhaust systems. The trd dual exhaust system met all clearance specifications on models without vsc, however the driver's side exhaust located in a position where contact between a brake line found only on vehicles with vsc and the trd exhaust pipe might occur.

In this condition, the exhaust pipe flange may rub against the right rear brake line, which could cause brake fluid leakage. This could lead to an increase of vehicle stopping distance, which could result in a crash.

Dealers will inspect and, if so equipped, will replace the trd dual exhaust system free of charge. During this replacement, the dealer will also inspect the specific brake line to assure it has not been damaged and replace it if necessary. The recall began on May 31, 2005. Owners should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #05V123000 »
