Most reported problems

NHTSA has 350 owner complaints on file for the 2024 Tundra[1]. Two mention a crash[1]. Three mention a fire[1]. None report an injury or a death[1]. These are unverified owner reports, and one complaint can name several parts.

Here is where the complaints land by component group:

We also read a small sample of complaint texts in the biggest groups. In the engine sample, owners describe the truck hesitating or ignoring the gas pedal when pulling out from a stop, oil leaks or low oil warnings, reduced power messages, and one failure where debris and a bearing were blamed[2]. In the power train sample, owners describe a delay between pressing the pedal and the truck moving, sometimes at intersections[8]. The fuel sample centers on a gauge that jumps back to full when the tank is not full, and owners say it leaves them unsure how much fuel is left[9]. The electrical sample includes the same gauge problem, backup camera guidelines that stop showing, and a second key fob that was slow to arrive[10].

Complaint counts are not adjusted for how many trucks were sold. A sample of texts also cannot tell us how often a problem happens across all owners.

Recalls

NHTSA lists 10 recalls for the 2024 Tundra, newest first[3]. Each notice lists the repair as free of charge[4][14][15][5][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Your own truck may or may not be covered, so ask a dealer to check the VIN against these numbers.

Fuel economy

EPA lists several versions of the 2024 Tundra, all with a 3.4L 6-cylinder turbo engine and an automatic (S10)[22][23]. On regular fuel, combined ratings run from 19 to 22 MPG[6][23]. Annual fuel cost on regular runs from $3,050 to $3,550[6][23]. EPA bases cost on its current fuel price assumptions, not prices from when the truck was new.

Version (miles per gallon: city / highway / combined) MPG Annual fuel cost
2WD[22] 18 / 23 / 20 $3,350
2WD, another listing[6] 20 / 24 / 22 $3,050
4WD[23] 17 / 23 / 19 $3,550
4WD, another listing[24] 17 / 22 / 19 $3,550
4WD, another listing[25] 19 / 22 / 20 $3,350
4WD PRO[26] 18 / 20 / 19 $3,550

EPA also lists premium fuel versions, with annual costs from $3,750 to $4,350[27][28].

Safety ratings

NHTSA's rated body styles for the Tundra show frontal and side crash results of 5 stars on the PU/CC 2WD body style[29]. The PU/CC 4WD earns 5 stars overall, 5 for frontal, 5 for side and 4 for rollover[7]. The PU/EC 4WD shows 4 stars for rollover[30]. The PU/EC 2WD is not rated[31]. Rollover risk is listed at 18.5% for each body style[31][29][7]. The Tundra Hybrid listing repeats the PU/CC results[32][33].

Engine and size

EPA lists the 2024 Tundra's 3.4L 6-cylinder engine at 358 to 389 hp, depending on version[34]. The sizes below are Canadian-market specifications from NHTSA's vehicle database, and US trucks can differ slightly. Width is 80 inches in every listing[35][36][37][38][39][40].

Should you buy a used 2024 Tundra?

The 2024 Tundra has fewer complaints than 2022 and 2023 but more than 2025 and 2026[3]. The two engine bearing recalls are the biggest item to settle, and the final remedy for 26V320 is not yet available[4][5]. Ask a dealer to check the VIN for open recalls before you buy. On a test drive, pay attention to throttle response and the fuel gauge, since owners in our sample describe both[2][9]. Fuel economy is 19 to 22 combined MPG on regular in the EPA listings[6][23].

Complaints submitted to NHTSA by owners; unverified reports, one complaint can name several components. Complaint counts are not normalized by sales; compare years of the same model, not different models. EPA annual fuel cost uses EPA's current fuel price assumptions, not the price when the car was new. Horsepower is the rating listed for EPA test vehicles. Dimensions are Canadian-market specifications and can differ slightly from US models.
