STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
An oil leak may cause a sudden loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash.
5 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 112 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An oil leak may cause a sudden loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the rear split bench seat moves in a crash, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
An incorrect load information label can result in the operator overloading the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Lugnuts that crack and detach may cause the wheels to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
If a person steps on the corner of the bumper that is damaged, a portion of the bumper may break away, increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2017 TOYOTA TUNDRAs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
