Description of the problem	2012 tundra 4. 6 v8 my truck will go into limp mode and the 4lo light flashes, check engine, and trac off lights were all on. Almost complete lose of power will happen. In traffic i end up blocking ever vehicle behind me, because the truck will not reach the speed limit. If there is a hill then the truck barely moves going up the hill. After looking online i saw it's a pretty common problem on toyota with the secondary air injection pump seizing. I checked it with the code reader at a local shop and the guy confirmed it, code p2240 "air injection switching valve stuck open bank 1." he told me he used to work for toyota and knew there was the extended repair on this issue but couldn't recall the specifics. I went into toyota and unfortunately they will not cover it for my truck after they ran my vin number. It seems like a lot of tundras with the 5. 7l motor are covered but the 4. 6l motors are not. I was informed by toyota that in the future it might be covered.

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.
