During late 2009, Toyota issued a recall on 2000-2003 model year Tundras regarding rust problems of a rear crossmember.
This recall involved 110,000 vehicles and followed a similar action for the Tacoma.
Following the Tacoma voluntary recall Tundra owners began complaining of rust issues.
In some cases, trucks were inspected by dealers and found to be unsafe to drive.
 The dealers refused to let the owners take their vehicles without signing an affidavit that they had been informed that Toyota had declared their vehicles unsafe to drive.
 Complaints were subsequently brought to WCVB-TV Channel 5 investigative reporter Susan Wornick and the story ran repeatedly in spring and fall 2009 prompting the NHTSA to begin an investigation.
NHTSA was particularly concerned that owners reported the potential for the spare tire to drop from the vehicle without warning due to corrosion and they opened an investigation on October 6, 2009.
Toyota recalled 2000-2001 Tundras, soon expanding it through 2003.
If no rust is detected an anti-corrosion compound will be applied, if rust is detected the crossmember will be replaced.

While Toyota originally limited the recall to 20 cold-weather states, problems were already evident elsewhere.
In March 2010, the recall was expanded throughout the country.
Toyota has been replacing frames on affected vehicles rather than paying the 1.5 times Kelley Blue Book value they offered Tacoma owners in a similar campaign for frame rust in Tacomas.
 Toyota began replacing frames later in the Tacoma campaign.

As of January 2012, Toyota Motor Co. is recalling 533,000 trucks and SUVs because of possible steering and suspension problems caused by faulty ball joints.

The recall marks a sudden shift in policy for the Japanese automaker after repeatedly denying consumer complaints about ball joint problems and failures in the Tundra and Sequoia.
The Toyota recall includes 2004 to 2007 model year Sequoia full-size sport utility vehicles and 2004 to 2006 Tundra pickups sold in the U.S.
A ball joint in the front suspension may wear out causing the vehicles to be difficult or sometimes impossible to steer.

Toyota reports that the defect may be the cause of 11 accidents resulting in six injuries.
 This can cause the wheel to fall off the truck without any notice.

In May 2007, a Toyota spokesperson stated 20 camshaft failures occurred in Toyota's all-new 5.7 L 3UR-FE V-8 engine.
Toyota said the failures were the result of a flaw in the camshaft casting process, and the supplier of the camshafts has since fixed the error.
In the event of a camshaft failure Toyota will either replace the engine and extend the warranty or repurchase the truck from the owner.
Toyota originally intended to begin selling the 5.7-liter equipped Tundra during the northern hemisphere summer of 2007 but decided to rush the engine into production in order to match the November 2006 launch date.
This decision was the result of product planners and dealers desire for the larger V8's availability at the initial sale.

On December 13, 2007, Toyota Motor Corp recalled 15,600 4x4 2007 model-year Tundras in the United States because a rear propeller shaft joint may fail. "
There is a possibility that a joint in the rear propeller shaft may have been improperly heat treated, resulting in insufficient hardness," Toyota said.
Adding, "This may cause a section of the rear propeller shaft to separate at the joint."
There has been one reported case of abnormal noises in the affected vehicles.
No accidents have been connected to the recall.
Tundra owners will be notified beginning in late-December 2007 and are requested to contact their local Toyota dealer for inspection.
If the hardness is not correct the dealer will then replace the rear propeller shaft.

The 2007-2010 Tundra was recalled as part of the 2009–10 Toyota vehicle recalls for its accelerator pedal.

Consumer Reports rated the 2013 Toyota Tundra 2WD pickup as having the highest predicted reliability among all full-size pickup trucks.
 The Toyota Tundra 4x4 was rated in second, just below the 2WD model.
