Passenger rear leaf spring broke for no reason, not towing loose piece then flips around hitting surrounding structures and wheels potentially causing an accident

2 of 3 leaf spring on driver's side broke in half and 1 of 3 on passenger side broke in half. Unsure of actual time of failure but one spring broke off as I was stopping at a stop light on a city street.

Rear leaf springs. Rear leaf spring broken- appears to have just broke. Do minor towing maybe 4000 lbs a few times a years. Vehicle has 88,000 miles on it. I have never had a leaf spring break. This is definitely a material flaw.

I heard metal rattle as I rode over sewer covers / bumps on the road. The dealer inspected the vehicle and found that the driver's side leaf spring was completely rotted through and broken. I was the only driver of the truck & purchased it brand new. It was used as a passenger vehicle and it had never towed more than a pop-up camper & it had never been used to carry anything heavier than hockey bags and groceries. The truck had 66,000 miles on it when the spring broke. It was necessary to replace the leaf spring due to the fact that had I been hit the gas tank could have punctured & exploded. Toyota would not cover the cost because I was over 36,000 miles.

One of the leafs in the rear passenger side leaf spring broke and slid against the tire rim while driving on a city street. The piece of leaf spring "could" have jammed in my rim and caused an accident or damage or fallen off causing a problem for drivers following me. I have spoken to several other toyota tundra owners and they have had the same problem with cracked / broken rear leaf springs. I have to assume this is a common occurrence since I was unable to purchase new leaf springs from toyota in a timely fashion because the had a large back order on leaf springs for my model.

The passenger rear leaf spring broke, and I believe could be a safety hazard on the road or into the tire of the vehicle. I noticed it via noise, and took action before anything bad happened.
