Toyota's biggest truck, Tundra, is in discussion these days due to a small trouble, but the big danger is hidden behind it. Toyota has declared recall of about 4,43,000 trucks for My2022-2025 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models. 

The problem is moisture leakage in reverse lamps, which can spoil these lamps. Even if it seems small, but in the night or in low light it can make the driver's back visibility difficult. This not only threatens the driver, but others may also have difficulty in understanding that the truck is going into reverse, which increases the risk of collision.


Last year too, Tundra had to face a lot of trouble. About 1,02,000 trucks were then called back due to machining debris in the engine. At that time, there were complaints of the engine knocking, rough running, or sudden closure at high speed. This time the problem of reverse lamps is due to a particular adhesive, which is not able to add the vent patches properly. outcome? The moisture penetrates inside the lamps, and the entire assembly may deteriorate. Toyota admitted that not all 4,43,000 vehicles sold in the US, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) documents suggest that the issue is serious. After all, who would like to compromise safety on the road?

Toyota has taken quick steps to deal with this problem. The company will soon send a letter to the Tundra owners, so that they can take their car to the nearest dealership and get the reverse lamps free repair or repair. This work is going to start from July 2025. I think Tundra owners should start talking to their dealership from now, because what is the benefit of delay? The Campaign Number 24V381000 also confirms that this small problem can become a big accident. So, why not take care in advance?


This recall is also a major examination for the credibility of Toyota. Toyota's name in America has always been synonymous with trust and sustainable vehicles, but in recent years, recall has repeatedly pushed this image a little. Daihatsu Motor Co. in 2023 From the safety certification scam to the airbag recall of Corolla and Tacoma this year, the company faced difficulties several times. Especially American customers, who bet on big trucks like Tundra, now think twice. Toyota has to work strictly to maintain its old credibility.

Finally, this recall teaches us that even small mistakes can cause great harm. My advice to Tundra owners is to take this recall seriously and get their car checked as soon as possible. Offering free repair of Toyota and immediate action is the right step in this direction. But this is a lesson for the entire automobile industry that even a slight lapse in quality control is not acceptable. Our dear siblings living in America, keep the safety of your car at the top. As is our saying - if it is life, then it is a world!
