Safety Issue Prompts Recall of Affected Toyota Models
Toyota Motor North America said it will recall about 127,000 Tundra, LX, and GX vehicles to address a safety-related issue, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) filing published this week.
The affected vehicles are from the 2022–2024 model years. The company said the defect could potentially affect the integrity of a key mechanical system, increasing the risk of a crash. Toyota did not report any injuries or accidents related to the issue in the NHTSA documents.
Owners will be notified by mail starting in late March 2025. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace faulty parts at no cost to vehicle owners.
Key details:
- Models: Toyota Tundra, Lexus LX, Lexus GX
- Model years: 2022–2024
- Total vehicles affected: ~127,000 in the U.S.
- Remedy: Dealer inspection and replacement of affected components
- Notification: Owner letters expected by March 2025
NHTSA Filing Details Scope and Repair Process
According to Automotive News and Toyota’s official press release, the recall stems from quality-control assessments conducted after customer reports flagged potential mechanical inconsistencies. The filing indicates that the company began investigating the issue in late 2024.
Dealers were informed of the recall instructions ahead of public notice, and Toyota confirmed that all repairs will be covered under warranty. NHTSA’s database will list detailed Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) ranges for owners to confirm eligibility.
The recall adds to a broader industry trend of safety actions across major automakers as oversight increases. Toyota advised impacted customers to check their VIN status through the NHTSA recall lookup tool or contact Toyota customer service for more details.
