Plain-English summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles equipped with a Toyota genuine accessory tonneau cover. The tonneau cover attachment joints may come loose and allow the cover to detach.

A tonneau cover that detaches while driving can become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.

Owners will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota dealer. The dealer will install new hardware (bolts, spacers, washers, nuts, rubber washers, and cotter pins) to the existing bracket and tonneau cover. If the tonneau cover has tears or splits at the mounting holes preventing new hardware installation, it will be replaced with a new tonneau cover and hardware.

Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 for more information. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline is available at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
