2018 Toyota Tundra

Recalls and owner complaints reported to NHTSA

Compared with the typical (middle) count of 412 complaints across the 6 model-year 2018 half-ton trucks we cover. Best-selling trucks naturally collect more complaints because more of them are on the road.

Price & value

We don't guess at prices. Get a real value for the exact truck from Kelley Blue Book, then see how the asking price compares.

Is it a good deal?

  1. Look up the truck on Kelley Blue Book. Choose its cab, trim, options, miles, condition and your ZIP code, and note the private party value (or the fair purchase price if you're buying from a dealer).
  2. Enter that value and the asking price below.
Check value on Kelley Blue Book ↗

Enter both numbers to see the deal rating.

The rating only compares the two numbers you enter: within 5% of the value is a good deal, 5–15% under is a great deal, and more than 15% under is a buy-it-now price. Know Your Truck isn't affiliated with Kelley Blue Book. Rust, accident history, lifts and mods, and service records all change what a truck is worth, so always get a pre-purchase inspection.

      This case results from the malfunctioning trailer brake ECU on 2018-2019 Tundras. There is a Toyota service bulletin T-SB-0036-19, which specifies an updated controller to replace the defective model. Part # : Original 89547-0C020 Update/replacement 89547-0C060 Toyota will not replace this defective part outside of the original warranty period despite the issuance of an updated replacement part. The service bulletin wasn’t even issued until 4/19 possibly giving no recourse to owners whose warranty had tolled. The newer part number, suggests this was a dangerous defect that was upgraded. A review of this matter online details this problem has frequently occurred. The reason it’s not more commonly reported is that a minority of Tundra owners tow trailers, and even fewer tow with electric brakes. Regardless, this is a significant safety issue where the Tundra owners are forced pay about $1,100 to repair this defective part. This matter should be elevated to a recall since losing the functionality of one’s trailer brakes is a very dangerous situation.

      While descending a steep grade towing an 8,000lb travel trailer using appropriate hill descent braking techniques, an error message came on the dash indicating a trailer wiring, type, or connection fault. From this point forward, I had no trailer brakes and was left with truck brakes only. I got the truck/trailer combination to the bottom of the grade safely, however this could have been catastrophic for an inexperienced driver or in a different situation. Upon further investigation, this is a common problem with Toyota Tundra’s, and acknowledged by Toyota in TSB # T-SB-0036-19 issued on April 1, 2019. The dealer and Toyota Customer Service will not acknowledge this, and states it is something only covered under the 3 year warranty. My question for you, the NHTSA, is how would this not be considered a safety issue, when the issue comes on unexpectedly under less than ideal circumstances, especially when Toyota has acknowledged that there is a problem with their brake controller. This is a safety issue, not a warranty issue. Toyota will be held accountable for any injury or death caused by my vehicle in this situation.

      Check engine light came on and after scanning Code P2445 'Secondary Air Injection Pump Stuck Off' was the error. Vehicle went into lower power mode, which is very unsafe for highway driving. The Secondary Air Injection Pump issues have plagued Toyota V8's for many years and I had hoped they'd fixed the issue by the 2nd Generation Tundras, I guess not. Dealer replaced the Secondary Air Injection Pump for about $850 and noted that there was moisture in the pump, which caused it to short out - very similar to issues reported by other Toyota V8 owners. Toyota has a 10 year warranty on the Secondary Air Injection Pumps for 2007-2010 Tundras and 2008-2010 Sequoia models - but no other years/models. It's time that Toyota recall these vehicles and fix them properly, or extend the warranty to all years/models.

      I am having problems with the integrated brake controller constantly disconnecting when pulling any type of trailer. When ever I pull a trailer I never know when the controller will disconnect and I'll lose brakes on my trailer. This happens at any speed while towing. This seems to be a thing for 2018 tundras, as I've read about many other complants.

      The vehicle was having issues with the fuel pump which was a known safety recall for the 2018 Toyota Tundra vehicles. The service man said that when he pulled up the safety recall for our VIN number that it didn't show anything, but we needed a new fuel pump according to the service codes that were coming up after inspection. They made us pay for the fuel pump before we left the dealership. The vehicle was too dangerous to drive without having the work performed (getting stalled out or stuck on the highway) so we had to pay for the work. Toyota said that I could file a complaint with NHTSA to get my vehicle added to this recall and then try again for reimbursement. I have the repair paperwork if needed to support this claim.

      I had an independent service center diagnose the issue with my 2018 Toyota Tundra. My truck would not start so there was no safety concern, but if the fuel pump failed while driving then the safety concern rises. The electrical connection inside the fuel pump was melted. There was no warning signs of the issue, it just would not turn all the way over. I looked up that the 2018 Toyota Tundra w certain VIN #'s have a recall for the fuel pump, unfortunately my VIN # is not included.

      Cam tower is leaking oil. I was told by the dealership that the oil is dripping onto the exhaust and could cause a fire! The truck is five years old with only 35000 miles on it! Apparently the sealant that is supposed to hold the cam tower together can start leaking oil! But I didn't expect it to leak with this new of a truck and this low of miles! I got on line and apparently this is happening quite a bite on tundras!

      Check engine light came on and after scanning Code P2445 'Secondary Air Injection Pump Stuck Off' was the error. Vehicle went into lower power mode, which is very unsafe for highway driving. The Secondary Air Injection Pump issues have plagued Toyota V8's for many years and I had hoped they'd fixed the issue by the 2nd Generation Tundras, I guess not. Dealer replaced the Secondary Air Injection Pump for about $850 and noted that there was moisture in the pump, which caused it to short out - very similar to issues reported by other Toyota V8 owners. Toyota has a 10 year warranty on the Secondary Air Injection Pumps for 2007-2010 Tundras and 2008-2010 Sequoia models - but no other years/models. It's time that Toyota recall these vehicles and fix them properly, or extend the warranty to all years/models.

Although my steering rack was not one of the "affected" units, I have seen another 2018 had to have its rack replaced one month before I had mine replaced. This is a major safety issue, if a steering rack goes bad, a complete loss of steering could occur, imagine going down a mountain when your steering rack gives out, serious injuries or death.

      Front Upper Grille Hood Scoop becomes loose and flys off during highway speeds and can distract a driver to the point of having an accident. Has been replaced once and is loose again held down by duck tape.

    • Filed May 2026

      The upper grille and hood trim assembly on my 2018 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition failed and partially detached from the vehicle due to apparent mounting clip and retainer failure. The failed component is available for inspection upon request. Photographs of the damage and detached trim assembly have been documented. This failure created a significant safety risk because the panel could have fully detached while the vehicle was in motion and become a roadway hazard to other motorists. The detached component also created concerns regarding possible interference with the front grille assembly and Toyota Safety Sense components located behind the grille area. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps, dashboard messages, or other electronic warnings indicating a problem. There were also no visible signs of impact damage or collision that would explain the failure. The condition appears to have occurred during normal vehicle operation. The vehicle currently has approximately 76,900 miles. After researching the issue, I identified multiple reports from other Toyota Tundra owners describing similar failures involving the upper grille garnish, mounting tabs, and retaining clips on this generation of Tundra vehicles. At this time, the issue has not yet been formally inspected by Toyota, law enforcement, insurance representatives, or an independent repair facility. Dealer confirmation is currently UNKNOWN. However, based on visual inspection, the mounting clips and retainers appear to have failed under normal operating conditions.
