The contact owned a 2024 Toyota Tundra equipped with Falken Tires, Tire Line: Wildpeak A/T3WA, Tire Size: 265/60/R20, DOT Number: [XXX]. The contact stated that all four tires were prematurely worn, with the steel belts visible. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the tread wear failure was characteristic of the type vehicles due to the factory alignment configuration, allowing for the abnormal wearing of the tires. The dealer was notified of the failure but declined to assist. The contact stated that the TPMS warning light was illuminated. The contact was notified by the manufacturer that there was a TSB for the failure; however, the vehicle was not included in the repair. The vehicle failure mileage was 38,000. The tire failure mileage was 28,000. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

Both front tires have premature wear to the outer edge. Additionally, all four tires have warned to 3/32" with less than 30,000 miles on them. Vehicle has been serviced by Toyota every 5,000 miles. All components have been inspected and per Toyota the vehicle alignment is within spec per manufacture. That being the case, the tires shouldn't wear unless there is a manufacture defect. Toyota nor Falken wants to honor the warranty or take responsibility for the defect of the OEM equipment. Toyota has a TSB for the Tundra alignment with 18" tires but refuse to add trucks with the 20" tires. They keep pointing the finger at each other leaving the customer with zero resolution. Others have replaced the tires but having the same issue reoccur. This is a safety concern as premature wear can contribute to poor cornering in curves, turns, and handling in wet or icy conditions.

When applying the brakes at highway speeds the vehicle shakes violently. If in a turn of going downhill you have to release the brakes so you don’t lose control of the brakes. Started happening at 10,000 miles on a brand new truck. Toyota tells my I have to pay $440 to recondition the rotors. In all my years and many cars and trucks I’ve never had a warped rotor. I don’t ride the brakes and don’t tow anything with this truck. I am baffled at this situation. The service manager said he’s seeing several 2025 Tundras with low mileage rotor warping so this seems to be a design defect.

took in truck for limited service campaign. Toyota understood toe angle sett premature wear on outside shoulders of the tires. Authorized toyota dealer adjusted front wheel ali based on toyota s inspection criteria, replaced two tires and completed alignment. Alignment failed to resolve problem. After 10k miles similar wear is present. Reached out to dealership and they declined further assistance.

The frame on my 2006 Toyota Tundra SR5 has severe corrosion and multiple areas of rust perforation despite being treated under Toyota’s Limited Service Campaign D0D in 2015. During that campaign, the dealer removed the bed, documented active rust on the frame, cleaned it, and applied Corrosion-Resistant Compound (CRC) to key areas as the preventative remedy. As documented in multiple repairs the corrosion was already advancing at the time the CRC was applied, the steering shaft boot was replaced the same day as the compound was put on at 93,822 miles, several other critical safety failure shortly after; the brake pivots seized at 94900, Rotors rust pitted at 99537, bumper had perforations at 109407, 1 brake line from master cylinder and 1 brake line from ABS actuator leaking near the junction block on L/S of the frame at 113422, 52 days later the shift cable was broken at 114904. The current perforation and delamination indicate that the D0D remedy failed to prevent structural degradation as intended. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle’s structural integrity is severely compromised, creating a risk of frame failure while driving. This puts my safety and the safety of others at risk due to potential loss of control or component separation. The problem has not yet been inspected by the dealer in its current condition but has been escalated to Toyota Corporate. I have attached the communications with them. The truck has been fully serviced through Toyota since new, with the last documented service in January 2021. There were no warning lamps or dashboard messages prior to the failure. Visible rust first appeared prior to the D0D treatment and has now progressed to full perforation. The vehicle is currently unsafe to drive.

Factory alignment was out of specification causing premature tire wear. The original factory Toe and Camber angle settings for the front wheels caused "feathering" and premature wear on the outside shoulders of the tires. My VIN was not included in the Service Campaign but per the dealer it was the exact same issue they have observed in other Tundras. I contacted Toyota and was not able to get resolution regarding a new set of tires

Brake rotors warped at 30,000 miles. Thats ridiculous. I went 230,000 on my 2011 Tundra with the original rotors when I sold it. There is an issue with the braking system or the technician may have improperly torqued my lug nuts. I personally think Toyota has an issue.

The park brake system uses cables to expand the rear brake shoes. The shoes are expanded using a bellcrank and bracket. When the park brake pedal is depressed, the cable pulls the bellcrank and expands the shoes. The bellcrank and bracket use a pivot pin. The entire assembly - bellcrank, bracket and pin suffer extraordinary rust. The rust causes the park brake to fail to release. The rear brakes drag, and cause: * premature wear of rear brakes * loss of fuel economy * shutter and shaking from the rear * avoiding use of park brake system to avoid the problem, folks don't use the park brake. None of the drivers of our toyota tundra uses the park brake because of the the problems it causes. That's a safety issue. Apparently this is a well known problem with toyota tundras. Also see https://www.tundrasolutions.com/threads/parking-brake-sticking.30818/ . Our problem has been happening for years. We have not used the park brake in over a decade. We are reporting the issue now because we recently learned how easy it is to report the issue using the website.
