Toyota Recalls Around 168K Tundra Pickups
Aug. 15, 2023
Toyota has announced a recall of around 168,000 Tundra pickup trucks due to a potential fire risk, the Hill reports.
The voluntary recall was issued after discovering faulty fuel tubes that are prone to leaking if it rubs against the truck’s brake line. If a fuel leak occurs, it brings with it the risk of fire.
Vehicles included in the recall include 2022 and 2023 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks.
The automaker has instructed vehicle owners to bring recalled vehicles to a nearby dealer immediately, where parts will be reinforced with additional protection to prevent fuel leaks. New parts will be installed later this year.
According to Toyota, owners of affected vehicles will all be notified by October.
