What owners report
The Forward Recognition Camera on my 2019 Toyota Tundra has suffered an internal failure. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Toyota dealership, which diagnosed and documented:"FOUND INTERNAL FAULT IN FORWARD RECOGNITION CAMERA." The failed component is available for inspection. This camera is a critical safety component that supports forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and other driver-assistance systems. Because of this internal failure, the vehicle's ability to detect potential hazards may be reduced or disabled, leaving the driver without safety features that were designed to help prevent or mitigate crashes. This failure places not only the occupants of my ve
The fuel pump and the fuel pump control module system failed. Before the failure, I drove my 2019 Toyota Tundra on XXX from [XXX] to [XXX] with no prior check engine light warning. It was parked for all 3 days at a campground in [XXX]. However, on XXX the vehicle would not start.

We had just exited the interstate when my Toyota Tundra stopped. We had it towed to the closest Toyota dealer. We had to have fuel pump replaced. They said the previous year Tundra was recalled for this issue, but ours was not. I just found out that some of the 2019 models had been recalled for this issue. They said my VIN was not recalled. That does not make sense. It was the same problem, same year, just at a different plant. Now we are having other fuel issues and the dealer says it all stems from the replacement of the pump, which we had to pay out of pocket. If we had not just exited the interstate it could have caused a major accident.
