|---|---|
| 11011639 | Some 2022 2024 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid, 2023 2024 model year Sequoia Hybrid, and 2024 model year Tacoma and Tacoma Hybrid vehicles equipped with a premium 14-inch audio multimedia display may exhibit a condition where the radio receiver power/volume knob becomes detached. An updated radio receiver power/volume knob is available to reduce the possibility of this condition. |
| 11010354 | Some 2022 2024 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid, 2023 2024 model year Sequoia Hybrid, and 2024 model year Tacoma and Tacoma Hybrid vehicles equipped with a premium 14-inch audio multimedia display may exhibit a condition where the radio receiver power/volume knob becomes detached. An updated radio receiver power/volume knob is available to reduce the possibility of this condition. |
| 11010345 | Some 2023 model year Sequoia Hybrid and 2022 2023 Tundra Hybrid vehicles may exhibit an oil leak between the automatic transmission and the hybrid module assembly, and the source of the oil leak is from the hybrid module output shaft seal. The hybrid module assembly has been updated to minimize this condition. |
| 11010329 | Some 2023 2024 model year Sequoia Hybrid and 2022 2024 model year Tundra Hybrid vehicles may exhibit a rattle sound from the hybrid module when the engine is at idle in drive or in reverse once fully warmed up. The Engine Control Module (ECM) (SAE term: Powertrain Control Module/PCM) logic has been modified to address this condition. |
| 11010108 | Some 2023 2024 model year Sequoia Hybrid and 2022 2024 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles may exhibit a MIL ON condition with one or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present: P030000 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected P030027 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected (Emission) Signal Rate of Change Above Threshold P030085 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected (Over Temperature) Signal Above Allowable Range The Engine Control Module (ECM) (SAE term: Powertrain Control Module / PCM) logic has been modified to address this condition. |
| 11010064 | Some 2023 2024 model year Sequoia Hybrid, and 2022 2024 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles may exhibit a condition where the front brakes produce a squealing noise when driving forward or in reverse. |
| 11010059 | Some customers have expressed concern that the wireless functions of their Key Fob stop working. Key Fob LEDs will not turn ON, but engine starts with key held up against start button. Key battery voltage is confirmed OK and no DTC/RoB is found. This condition may occur if customer places Key Fob near wireless charger while phone is charging. When the key battery is removed and reinstalled, the Key Fob begins to operate normally. |
| 11007455 | Some 2005 2024 Toyota vehicles that have undergone water intrusion may exhibit a condition in which a musty odor is present. Follow the procedures in this bulletin to remediate the odor and address this condition. The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to provide general guidelines and procedures for odor remediation. This Service Bulletin provides a guide on how to prepare and treat the interior of the vehicle for odor remediation. Refer to the applicable model and model year Repair Manual and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) website for the most up-to-date safety and precautionary |
| 11007445 | The condition known as acid rain is caused by airborne chemicals or particles in the atmosphere, which mix with rainwater, nighttime dew, or high humidity to form acidic compounds. If these contaminants settle and remain on a painted vehicle surface, especially the horizonal areas of the hood, roof, and decklid, significant damage can occur. This damage is the result of actual etching of the paint and appears as pitting or water spots. As acid rain droplets on the vehicle surface evaporate, the concentration strength of the acid increases, causing deeper and more rapid damage. This evaporation |
| 11007444 | To prevent brake rotor rust from forming during transportation and storage, wheel film will be used instead of a cardboard type of anti-rust cover. The purpose of the wheel film is to shield the disc brake rotor from weather elements and initial rust before the vehicle is delivered to the customer. Consequently, the film should remain on the wheel for as long as possible. |
| 11007443 | Acid rain results from rainwater or other airborne moisture that become acidic due to industrial chemical impurities in the atmosphere. If these acidic compounds settle on an exposed vehicle, especially the horizontal areas such as the hood, roof, and decklid, significant damage to the painted surfaces can occur. Acid rain damage can typically be identified on vehicles by the presence of stains on the paint surface that resemble hard water spots. Unlike water spots however, acid rain damage cannot be removed by regular washing procedures. Also, because acid rain can etch and soften the paint, |
| 11007440 | Some 2023 2024 model year Sequoia Hybrid, and 2022 2024 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles may exhibit a condition where the front brakes produce a squealing noise when driving forward or in reverse. |
| 11007434 | Some 2022 2024 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid, and 2023 2024 model year Sequoia Hybrid vehicles, equipped with a JBL premium sound system, may exhibit a rattle or buzz noise when listening to music coming from the subwoofer located in the rear left luggage area of the vehicle. This can be caused by exposure to certain operating environments with high humidity levels. To improve the subwoofer's performance in humid environments, Toyota has revised the speaker cone material and shape. The condition can be resolved by replacing the subwoofer assembly with box. |

| 11005153 | Toyota vehicles are currently protected with RapgardTM protective film designed to protect the horizontal painted surfaces. This material protects from acid rain, environmental fallout, and rail contamination. |
| 11005149 | Vehicles may occasionally be subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles shed from railroad tracks, train wheels, exposure to heavy machinery facilities, grinding, welding, etc. This type of contamination can be identified by the presence of small, red or brown particles on the paint surface. These particles are often difficult to see on dark color paints but can be easily felt when brushing a hand across horizontal body surfaces such as the hood, roof, or deck lid. |
