2002 Toyota TUNDRA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1644686
Internal NHTSA #	11309429
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	TUNDRA
Model Year	2002
File date	15/12/19
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The rear axel and differential housing/casting is corroded thru such that oil is leaking through the differential hub onto the roadway and resulting in a loss of gear oil within the differential and axels. After driving on the highway this oil was observed on the spare tire (mounted under the bed) and up the back of the bumper. The service representative at one dealership i approached to discuss the cost of repair indicated that they have seen the problem multiple times. This obviously should not be happening and i believe it to be the result of a defectively designed/manufactured component. I have not yet had the vehicle repaired due to the high cost, but it is not driveable as the differential will not hold gear oil.
