2022 toyota tundra tsb3/1/2024 For others like Dillon Kennedy who said, “No it won’t mine broke too and I had to buy another one and it was 135 dollars and another 100 for the service department to swap it out.” However, in this case, it’s a hit or miss. Now logically speaking, it should because as the name implies, it is from your bumper to bumper. The rest of the comments were about whether or not the guy was big or if it would be covered which brings us to the next part, would your bumper-to-bumper warranty cover this? To put that into perspective, out of 15 main comments, 8 of them said their truck’s plastic seat trim also broke. ![]() Mine is getting fixed at my 10,000-mile service.” It is incredible to see just how many people had this issue. Will get them to address it next month when I take it in for 15K(mile) service.” Again, after further research, jake isn’t a heavyset guy. Jake Jenkins said, “Mine cracked the other day. Let’s take a look and see what some of the owners who had their side plastic seat trims break had to say. The unofficial term that dealers use is called “fat sliding.” However, after doing some further research, almost none of the owners whose seats broke were heavy set. However, this problem with the seat breaking is not just from one unlucky owner, the whole comment section is filled with people also expressing their same experience with this problem of the plastic seat side trim breaking. Thankfully, the interior of the 2022 Toyota Tundra is said to be pretty solid and not have any creaking noises when you push against the dash. We have all seen the videos of ‘90s Audis literally falling apart from the inside once you push the over-engineered cup holder out. Now realistically speaking, if interior pieces start to break within the first year of production, that isn’t a good sign. Joel Williams said, “So this side seat panel broke. However, a recent post on Facebook’s 2022+ Toyota Tundra Owners group shows just how easy it is to break the side plastic trims on these seats. Speaking of issues, make sure you follow more of my recent articles so that you are up to date with any problems on the new Tundra like the wastegate issue circulating the internet. In any case, you’d have to be extremely large to have this problem and, in most cases, it’s just a matter of convenience rather than weight issues.

And a big guy like me in a little Toyota Prius means that sometimes, I need to slide out of my seat instead of getting up. 6 foot, 230 lbs., big shoulders, large claves, etc. ![]() I’m furious! You pay this kind of money for a vehicle and get this! As a long time Toyota customer I’m about to proclaim this as my LAST Toyota if a fix doesn’t occur soon.I’m a pretty big guy for my average stats. You would think feedback from the dealerships would be enough but apparently not so. Meanwhile, today I call Toyota customer care at 1-80 to check on the status of “the fix”and they know nothing about a fix in the works! In fact the customer rep gave me a case number and told me if they get enough complaints they will issue a customer fix! So I encourage anyone having problems to call the 1800 number above. Well that was over 7 months ago and no joy!. I took it back again when My dealer told me the same thing as some say above: “ Toyota knows about it and is working in a fix”. I took it in to the dealership where they resurfaced front rotors and replace from pads. Brakes started squealing in the morning within a month.
