Toyota Tundra owners have reported 1 problem related to axle hubs (under the power train category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Toyota Tundra based on all problems reported for the Tundra.
The rear transaxle hub does not have a bolt on cover, but is welded solid to the axle casting. I noticed oil on the ground and investigation reveals the hub cover has rusted thru, allowing oil to run out. If all of the oil had drained out and the vehicle driven,the axle could have seized up,causing a serious vehicle crash and personal injury or death. Toyota was notified via local dealership, and they denied any coverage. Between the environmental impact and the safety issue,and the fact it is not repairable, makes me want to complain. The leak was temporarily plugged with epoxy, but has recently failed again. November 23,2013 . Checking various internet web pages, this apparently is a common problem across all Toyota trucks and most year models, not just Tundra. With the frame rust thru and cross member rust thru recall,all of these recall areas are within inches of my rust thru / perforation of even thinner sheet metal in a critical location. Please review .
