Toyota announced it's launched a safety recall in the U.S. for the Tundra pickup in both standard and hybrid guises, covering the 2022 and 2023 model years. The automaker says a plastic fuel tube "could move and rub against the brake line and develop a fuel leak," and all of us here probably know by now that fuel leaks are bad news.

The recall population counts approximately 168,000 trucks; considering that dealers sold 104,404 Tundras in the U.S. in 2022 and a little more than 70,000 so far this year, we're likely talking about every Tundra that came off the line before Toyota realized and remedied the problem at the factory.
