Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that there was a failure pertaining to the soy based wiring of which rodents had damage the electrical system upon eating away at the wires. The dealer modesto Toyota, 4513 mchenry Ave, modesto, CA 95356, (209) 529-2933 diagnosed that the wiring and the wiring harness needed to be replaced which was an extensive repair. The dealer and the manufacturer provided no solution of a different oem wiring to prevent the failure so the contact was uncertain if the failure may happen again by replacing the same oem parts. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, indicated that there was no warranty, no recall campaign and provided no assistance other than the contact repairing the vehicle. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
Mice are able to enter the air ventilation system from a large gap at the ends of the air intake grill below the windshield, once in, they enter the cab and dash area. These mice will damage the wiring and cause a vehicle system failure (braking-power-air bag, etc. ) I have reported this to my dealer rochester Toyota and Toyota customer service (800-331-4331). The dealer has acknowledged that this is a issue and only suggestion was to put a scent in the cab to discourage the mice. This is serious manufacturing flaw that needs a retro fitted air intake grill to close off it's current gap that allow mice to enter the ventilation system. I have installed steel mesh to cover these large gaps (photos attached). A recall to correct this problem should be issued.
