Model	TUNDRA
Model Year	2012
File date	17/04/19
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was pulling out of work. You must cross 3 lanes of traffic plus the center median to turn left. This is a city street. Speed limit is 45 i believe with many vehicles going faster. Vehicle had the smog air injection pumps and valves fail. This cuts power drastically to the engine and puts it into limp mode. I was forced to swerve back into and stay in the center median instead of merge into traffic as the vehicle had little power. I was able to wait for a bigger gap in traffic and limp the vehicle to the repair shop. I believe this could be deadly should it occur if trying to get on the freeway or pulling a trailer and the engine cuts power drastically. Toyota has a long history of issues with these parts failing going back to 2007 and possibly earlier. There is no need for a smog pump failure that only runs for 2 minutes on cold start to drasically cut engine power and endanger the driver and other motorists.
