Can recall 22V501 make my Tundra a lemon in California?

Not by itself. A recall repair that fails, or repeat dealer visits for the same defect, can support a California lemon law claim.

Owners often ask whether this display function recall means their Tundra qualifies as a lemon. Not by itself. Song-Beverly looks at whether a defect covered by the warranty substantially impairs use, value or safety and was not fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts (Civ. Code 1793.2(d)).

Rearview camera faults are frequently fixed with a software update, but owners report the screen going black again weeks later. If that happens with your 2022 Toyota Tundra, each return visit should be documented.

This is not the first recall for this problem. When a manufacturer has to recall the same display function again, that suggests the earlier fix did not work. If your 2022 Toyota Tundra has had this repair more than once, keep every repair order.

Earlier campaigns on these vehicles involving the same component: 22V285000.

For the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, California presumes the manufacturer had enough chances if the Tundra went in two or more times for a defect likely to cause death or serious injury, four or more times for the same defect, or spent more than 30 days in the shop (Civ. Code 1793.22(b)). Direct notice to the manufacturer is required for some of these. The presumption is a shortcut, not the only path to a claim.

An owner who prevails in a lemon law case can recover reasonable attorney fees and costs from the manufacturer (Civ. Code 1794(d)). You pay nothing, win or lose. We are paid only if you win, and the manufacturer pays our fees, including in settlements. If a case is lost, our firm covers the costs.
