Description of the problem	With only 81,719 miles on my truck i had to have the air injection pump & valves replaced on 3/29/2019. I was informed that this was a common problem which had been recalled in the 2011 & 2010 models. If a recall is made within a year of the part being replaced i will be reimbursed. I work from home and the truck has only been driven for leisure or chores for the past 3 years. It was driven daily in las vegas from 2015-2017 and in orlando from 2012-2015. There have been no other engine problems. In january of 2019 the check engine light came on and the car was performing with less power but everything worked okay. Instead of driving an 8 cylinder truck it felt like driving a full size truck with only 4 cylinders. The issue happened overnight. Everything was fine and then the performance just went south. I waited 2 months to have it looked at because i rarely drive and because it still ran but with less power. I was told by toyota that if another mechanic fixed the problem and a recall came later then i would not be reimbursed. After i was informed that this would more than likely become a recall i moved forward with using toyota's service department. My goal is to find out if there is a recall pending for the 2012 tundra air injection system or at least find out if the problem is widespread. If i was taken advantage of by a dealership using the recall as a tactic to get my business i want to make sure to let others know so i hope someone from the nhtsa will follow up. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
