Toyota Tundra Recall: Wiring Flaw Hits Australia Models

Toyota has issued a recall for the 2023 and 2024 Tundra in Australia after discovering a wiring issue that could put drivers at risk. The fault involves a connection that may overheat, potentially leading to a short circuit or even a fire. While no injuries have been reported, the automaker is acting quickly to address the problem.

The recall affects a specific batch of Tundra pickups sold down under. Toyota Australia says the wiring harness near the engine compartment may not be properly secured. Over time, vibration and heat can cause the wires to chafe, exposing metal and creating a spark risk. Owners will be notified and asked to bring their trucks to a dealer for a free inspection and repair.

, this recall is a reminder to stay on top of any manufacturer notices. Boca Auto Care recommends checking your vehicle's VIN on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website to see if your Tundra is part of a similar action. If you notice flickering lights, a burning smell, or other electrical gremlins, don't wait, get it checked immediately.

Safety first, always.
