Recall 05V-123: 2004–2005 Toyota Tundra
TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Mar 30, 2005, covering about 5,726 vehicles.
The problem
Certain pickup trucks equipped with both vehicle stability control (Vsc) and the trd dual exhaust systems. The trd dual exhaust system met all clearance specifications on models without vsc, however the driver's side exhaust located in a position where contact between a brake line found only on vehicles with vsc and the trd exhaust pipe might occur.
The risk
In this condition, the exhaust pipe flange may rub against the right rear brake line, which could cause brake fluid leakage. This could lead to an increase of vehicle stopping distance, which could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and, if so equipped, will replace the trd dual exhaust system free of charge. During this replacement, the dealer will also inspect the specific brake line to assure it has not been damaged and replace it if necessary. The recall began on may 31, 2005. Owners should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
