turbo's have to be replaced because of a wastegate failure. This is a well known issue. My vehicle is at 66700 miles and Toyota has denied a good will claim. Though they admit there is nothing I could have done differently because its a defective part. My safety is put at risk because the truck goes into limp mode and a "reduced power" message is displayed. The dealership has confirmed the issue but because its 7k outside of warranty they are unwilling to do anything even though its a defect. Vehicle has only been inspected by dealership. they also have a diagnostic test for the total engine recall and its very subjective. I don't believe they are keeping safety in mind. I think they are trying to deny as many of those claims as possible.

Vehicle Information: 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited TRD Off-Road (Equipped with Factory Tires) [1] Current Mileage: Approximately 26,000 miles Description of Safety Defect: The factory-installed tires on this vehicle are exhibiting premature, severe tire dry rot (sidewall/tread cracking) and highly accelerated, uneven tread wear at only 26,000 miles. The depth of the rot and the erratic wear pattern present an immediate structural hazard, significantly increasing the risk of a sudden tread separation, sidewall blowout, or catastrophic tire failure at highway speeds. Despite proper vehicle maintenance, alignment checks, and routine tire rotations, the rubber compound has degraded at an unacceptable and unsafe rate for a low-mileage, modern vehicle. This premature deterioration compromises wet-weather traction, braking efficiency, and overall vehicle handling. The severe degradation of these original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires constitutes a clear manufacturing defect that poses an ongoing safety risk to the driver, passengers, and other motorists on the road.

The component that is failed/malfunctioning is the mode function of the HVAC blower system. After thorough online research this appears to be related to either the gear door actuator or the blend door being stuck or broken (gears, etc.). This prevents air from blowing out of any vents other than the defrost and feet modes. While it appears to be a common issue online the two Toyota dealerships will not provide any helpful information unless I agree to a minimum 250 diagnostic fee. I've replaced all the gear door actuators thus I believe it has to do with the blend door. The dealerships default response is "that's just how they are". There were no warnings, messages, etc. prior to failure. Failure was noticed upon start and longer than usual startup of the HVAC system, it now takes 30-60 seconds to attempt to calibrate before any air starts moving. And as stated earlier it just blows out of the defrost and foot functions, nothing out of the face vents.
