Toyota<\/a> has announced a recall for 2022 and 2023 Toyota Tundra<\/a> full-size pickup trucks<\/a>. It covers approximately 130,000 trucks<\/a> that are equipped with a Toyota tonneau cover for the bed. The problem is that cover could potentially fly off the bed while driving.<\/p>\n

This is pretty clearly a serious hazard if not for the driver of the Tundra<\/a> in question, but for anyone driving behind or around said Tundra, since it could hit another car and generally<\/a> create an obstacle and block vision. Toyota didn’t specify exactly what cover is affected besides it being an official Toyota one, not an aftermarket<\/a> brand, but the only one listed on the consumer website is a hard tonneau. That could cause some nasty damage at highway speeds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The good news is that owners with affected covers can simply remove them until a fix is determined for the cover. The company will start sending out notifications to affected customers this month. Concerned owners can also run their VINs through either Toyota’s website (Toyota.com\/recall<\/a>) or NHTSA’s<\/a> (nhtsa.gov\/recalls<\/a>) to check for open recalls<\/a>.<\/p>\n
