Recall Alert: 2011 Toyota Tundra

Toyota Motors is voluntarily recalling about 51,000 2011 Toyota Tundra pickups to inspect a potential flaw with the rear drive shaft.

In the affected vehicles, the drive shaft slip yoke may break due to improper casting. The slip yoke is integral to power delivery from the engine to the wheels.

This type of failure has been confirmed in one owner’s vehicle, but no injuries or accidents have been associated with the condition, Toyota says.

Owners of the affected vehicles will get a letter from Toyota advising them of the recall. Dealerships will inspect and replace the rear drive shaft if necessary at no charge. Concerned owners can call Toyota at 800-331-4331 or visit the company’s recall website for more info.

Silverado or F150 is a much better option. Toyota can't seem to get its big trucks right, and Tundra is one you want to avoid.

I am a Troll.

If you disagree with my posting why don't you try to post something relating to vehicles like I did or shut your virtual pie hole, moron.

Every foreign auto manufacturer who started making their vehicles in the US and used American auto parts suppliers has fallen into the same trap as the US auto manufacturers. That's just one reason why so many auto manufacturers are having their parts made in Japan, and are now strapped for parts because of the earthquake and tsunami. The part of the Tundra recall is cast by an American parts manufacturer and is in line with what we can expect from the suppliers of faulty gas pedals, rusting frames, cracking drive shafts, etc. Look for a future F150 recall for a similar part, just like with the recalled gas pedals.
