Sometimes at a red light or stop sign, I go to take off and the truck will hesitate for a second or two. I press the pedal down aways and then it lurches and takes off slowly. Been happening regularly.

The tailgate remote operation is inconsistent. it usually does not work and the tailgate has to be lowered by randomly applying pressure in different spots. Nothing seems consistent. Once it opens then it may work a few times then goes back to not working.

Can recall 26V433 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.

A recall by itself does not make a car a lemon. Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, what matters is whether a defect covered by the warranty substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value or safety, and whether the manufacturer or its dealers fixed it within a reasonable number of attempts (Civ. Code 1793.2(d)).

Even an equipment recall can matter in a lemon law claim if the problem keeps coming back or the 2026 Toyota Tundra spends many days at the dealer.

This is not the first recall for this problem. When a manufacturer has to recall the same labels again, that suggests the earlier fix did not work. If your 2026 Toyota Tundra has had this repair more than once, keep every repair order.

Earlier campaigns on these vehicles involving the same component: 22V854000, 23V633000, 23V757000, 24V548000, 26V179000.

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.
