Here is what some owners told NHTSA, in their own words (excerpts, unverified):

While driving with my family in the car our panoramic sunroof exploded out of now where. Now after a week of waiting and missing work due the dealership waiting to see if warranty is going to cover it. I’m being told to utilize my insurance because the panoramic isn’t covered under warranty.

2025 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid owner, TX, NHTSA complaint 11663642, filed May 29, 2025

The 2nd panel of the panoramic sunroof literally exploded. Was sitting, stationary after a brief highway drive when it exploded cacophonously. Toyota won't cover under warranty because they're saying that it had to be resultant from an incident. But, literally, it just blew up 100% unprovoked.

2025 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid owner, AZ, NHTSA complaint 11728049, filed March 30, 2026

The panoramic moonroof on the 2025 Toyota Sequoia spontaneously shattered while the vehicle was stationary. Nothing hit the moonroof. Was told by the dealership that it was caused by a pressure imbalance and although this is a know issue Toyota will not cover it as corporate doesn't see it as a issue.

Can recall 26V179 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 labels 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)).

What matters for a lemon law claim is not the recall label but whether the defect substantially impairs the 2024-2025 Toyota Tundra and whether the dealer can fix it in a reasonable number of tries.

This campaign follows an earlier recall for the same issue. A second recall can mean the first remedy failed, and repeated repair attempts on the same defect are the core of most lemon law claims.

Earlier campaigns on these vehicles involving the same component: 22V310000, 22V854000, 23V633000, 23V757000, 24V548000.

California law presumes a reasonable number of attempts has been made if, within 18 months or 18,000 miles of delivery, the same problem was repaired two or more times for a defect likely to cause death or serious injury, four or more times for any covered defect, or the vehicle was out of service for repairs more than 30 days in total (Civ. Code 1793.22(b)). Some of these require written notice to the manufacturer. A claim can still succeed outside that window.

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.
