How to read a Toyota Tundra VIN — every digit explained
Every Toyota Tundra carries a unique 17-character VIN stamped at the factory. Each position is a code — together they spell out where, when and how your car was built. Here's exactly what every digit means.
- WMI (1–3) — country & manufacturer. Tells you it's a Toyota and the country it was built in.
- VDS (4–8) — model, body style, engine, trim & restraints. The 8th digit is the engine code.
- Check digit (9) — a math check that proves the VIN is genuine.
- Model year (10) — the year it was built (e.g. R = 2024, S = 2025).
- Plant (11) — which factory assembled this Tundra.
- Serial (12–17) — the unique sequential production number.
Model-year code (10th digit)
The 10th character is the model year. It cycles through letters and numbers, skipping I, O, Q, U, Z and 0 to avoid confusion:
Where to find your Tundra VIN
- Dashboard — driver's side, visible through the windshield from outside.
- Driver's door jamb — on the manufacturer sticker when you open the door.
- Paperwork — vehicle registration, title and insurance card.
- Engine bay & frame — stamped on the firewall or chassis on many models.

A 1992 ford f-250 (2 door) towing a portable cement mixer, estimated weight @350-450 pounds, crossed the center line and struck a 2006 toyota tundra crew cab (4 door) head on. Both vehicles estimated speed was 50 mph. All drivers and passenger were wearing seat belts, airbags did deploy. The f-250's driver sustained 1 detached rib plus cuts and bruises. In the toyota, the following injuries occurred: passenger: broken left ankle, 7 broken ribs, sternum and clavicle fractures, 7 inch leg laceration, 5 inch hand laceration, cuts & bruises. Driver: broken right ankle, brain contusion/concussion (visible impact spot on windshield - see below), broken rib, cuts and bruises. Toyota's occupants confirmed that the engine/transmission intruded about 2 feet into the passenger compartment, consistent with the ankle injuries. It also appears from photos that the windshield was pushed back into the driver, although the belt and airbag could have not provided adequate protection also. Frontal photos of the toyota show, apparently, that the bodywork detached from the frame - the front of the frame is clearly visible & does not look seriously damaged, with the bodywork (including the bumper) pushed back substantially. It seems to me there are several possible defect/design issues here: 1. Engine and transmission came straight back and did not deflect downwards, causing the lower extremity injuries. 2. Multiple rib injuries despite occupants being belted suggests excessive airbag inflation pressure. 3. Body to frame attachment failure, exacerbating intrusion of engine and frontal collapse/compression. The accident was investigated by the california highway patrol (report available) and occurred on state route 178 on may 27, 2015, about 25 miles east of bakersfield, california.
Rear end failed due to rust out parts of pickup. *tr
On 01-08-2018 i had a mva in which the front of my truck struck another vehicle and my air bag was deployed. As you may judge from the picture the impact was minimal. The other vehicle, a 2003 honda civic, was drivable, while my much bigger truck was not due to my condition and the deployed air bag. I was knock out approximately 5 to 7 minutes, i made this estimate by the arrival of winter park pd. I also suffered two fractured ribs on my right arm pit area and one on my left arm pit area, this was according to the er doctor and a fracture of my l5 vertebrae according to my mri report. Four herniated disc and six bulging. It is my sincere believe that some if not all this personal injuries i suffered were related to an over pressured air bag system. Although there are no recalls on my truck, i feel a need to register my complaint. As noted on my pd report i had just initiated a u-turn so i could not have been traveling more than 15 mph on lee rd. (a paved city street). See also odi 11287678. *dsy
Tamara recall - i was exiting the freeway, making a left hand turn onto the city street, i was traveling approximately 25 miles per hour. As i entered the intersection, on a green light, a 1996 gmc yukon ran a red light, travelling approximately 40 miles an hour and hit me on my front end, damaging the bumper, fender, door, hood and bed on the drivers side. I was wearing my seatbelt but the impact was hard enough to propell me upwards, causing my left shoulder to hit the frame above the window which caused a grade 3 separation of my left collarbone.
Takata recall, i was involved in a collision with my toyota tundra when a nissan altima failed to stop for a stop sign. At witch point my air bags did not go off. The truck is totaled and so was the nissan! I was driving east on quincy ave. And the nissan was driving south on b st. When she failed to stop at the stop sign.
Traveling on hwy 11. 4 cars ahead suddenly stop. I had 3 choices: hit the car in front of me. Go into on coming traffic, or head off the side of the road into the bayou. Missed the opportunity of the bayou, hit a parked semi tractor trailer. Nothing happened to the tractor trailor. My toyota got severely crunched on the right passenger side. My air bags never went off. I was going 30 miles per hour, and nothing deployed. Now i understand it is a good thing the airbags didn't go off. *tr
Cab separated from chassis. Cab is attached to chassis at 4 flanges welded to frame. 2 each 10 mm bolts connect cab to each flange. A 71 mm hole exists in flange between the 2 each 13 mm holes for the 10 mm bolts. Only 6 mm of flange steel exists between 13 mm holes and 71 mm hole. Cab separated by tearing 10 mm bolt nuts through the 13 mm holes at the 6 mm dimension. It has been my experience in aircraft structureal repair that the minimum dimension for hole spacing is 3 hole diameters (i.e., hole spacing should have been approximately 30 mm instead of 6 mm).

Purchased 2000 toyota tundra in 2004 with abs light on and rear end noise. Truck vibrates significantly when break is used down hill. Toyota agreed to inspect and repair if any problem existed. Toyota states that the noise was a parking brake cable and the breaks should be used "smoothly", taking care not to hit it too hard. The day after pick up from service department a major accident occured when at 45 mph the brakes locked up causing vehicle to slide 75 feet impacting two other vehicles that were totaled out. The tundra rear-ended a small car. Dammage was to the upper left side of the tundra and all the way to the middle of the engine area, as the top of the tundra was forced into a downward position by the left front tire locking up. No air bag deployed. Not the driver or passenger side. 3 minor injuries to 3 people inside tundra. Neck injury to driver of first vehicle impacted. Toyota verbally stated to family member that they knew it was a problem. Body work finnished and insurance paid bill. Breaks still lock up even at low speeds. Using breaks on a hill cause truck to shake. Break pads replaced and breaks still do not function as required. Toyota denies any problem with breaks.
I had an accident due to the breaks and steering not working. I was with my 3 children in the truck.

7/29/09 driving on the freeway at 65 mph transmission started shifting gear and mph was moving from 60 to 80 up and back down. Applied emergency brake , shifted gear to neutral but no actions could stop the toyota truck. My nephew and i jumped from the truck when i determined that it was slowing down and no cars were passing on the freeway. It came to a sudden stop 1/2 mile away from were we jumped. The engine had smoke coming out and it revving up and down. Towed it to dealer and they said no problem found and accused it was the floormats after their master tech looked at it. No repairs were made and they wanted to charge us for worn brakes and bent rotors which were cause by this event. In-disagreement we towed to another toyota and they determined that the complaint regarding the sudden acceleration, worn brake pads, and bent rotors cannot be found. We took back the car for 6 months and a second incident happen 1/15/10. I was driving on a residential street and suddenly the truck was accelerated from 25 mph to 60 mph. I performed all ways to stop the truck but it would not stop. To avoid hitting a big-rig i had to verge into an embankment. Again police and fire dept were called but no one accident occurred so no reports were taken. Again we towed it to the dealer stating the same situation and again no problem has been found. They still have the truck until today 3/9/10 and have not gave any answer on what is had occurred and no actions had been taken. I have suffered tremendously. Fear haunts me at night and i am afraid to even step foot into the truck. I am emotionally disturbed on the ordeal and how toyota persisted that nothing happened. My 15 year old nephew who jumped out while we were on the freeway has been traumatized and yet i cannot get answer. *tr

On [XXX] I was driving in Connecticut when I realized we had taken the wrong directions. We were following my son’s girlfriend’s iphone which kept changing the directions. When we ended up with an over pass in a parking area I applied my brakes but the brakes didn’t work. I was trying to go left to take an alternate road but couldn’t stop. This kind of thing where the brakes or steering have been happening on and off since we got the truck I believe someone has hacked into it using a car kit is what I found under devices but then it disappeared. It also changes my truck into towing mode which is another thing it does. This is done everyday. I noticed I have no history on my truck. This is because it can be put on and taken off randomly. I believe it is a family members doing this to me. We had a Nissan and they did it to that too. It totaled our new camper. I will have to get USAA TO SEND ME SOME COPIES OF PAPERWORK SINCE SOMEONE KEEPS BREAKING INTO OUR APARTMENT AND STEALING THINGS INCLUDING PAPERWORK.

2004 toyota tundra recall for front ball joints--2006 received notice and took to dealer in bozeman, mt to check...we were told our truck wasn't part of recall....months later, received another notice...called and emailed dealer, but they did not return calls or emails. October 2007 front passenger wheel "broke" while driving and we wrecked. Dealer in laramie, wy stated that "yes, your truck was part of the recall and this was due to front ball joint failure." luckily we were only driving 10mph, but if we had been driving on interstate, we would have rolled. *tr
The check engine light of our new toyota tundra truck turned on. I brought it back to the dealer for inspection/repair/replacement. Its representative wrote in its evaluation that my son had abused its use and did not repair/replace the part. One evening, while my son and his girlfriend were on their way to a class field trip, the left lower ball joint of the truck broke off while traveling within the speed limit on a public road causing the left front tire to come off. Traffic stopped behind and allowed my son to maneuver it safely on three tires to the side of the road where the truck flipped on its left side. My son and his girlfriend were very fortunate to survive this horrible accident with moderate injuries. Some witnesses stopped to help them out of the truck. The paramedics and the sheriff came to the scene and had our truck towed to their impound facility. We towed our truck from the impound garage to a storage facility. My son filed a complaint with the bureau of auto repair and one of their technicians came to thoroughly inspect the truck for about a week and informed us of an impending recall on the lower ball joint. That same week, we got a recall notice in the mail from toyota corporation regarding the defective lower ball joint. About a month and a half later, we towed our truck and met with their representative at one of their orange county dealerships to inspect the defective part and the extent of damage to our truck. We received a call from their claims department regarding our case, i called the person back and left a message with him. I placed another call to him. Up to now no action has been taken by toyota corporation regarding our case. *tr updated 09/30/08. *jb

Front suspension lower ball joint recall on 2003 toyota tundra. Consumer states that his son had a serious accident and was injured. *nj the consumers son heard a loud noise and the right front of his truck dropped while he was driving. He was unable to steer the vehicle and hit a retaining wall. The consumer received a recall notice regarding the lower ball joint problem 9 months after the accident.*jb
While towing a small trailer the front end of the vehicle started floating and became impossible to control. As a result the truck went out of control and flipped over causing over 10,000.00 in damages to the pickup. It was a bout a month or two after this that we received the recall on the front ball joint. Even though it was supposedly fixed??? It still continues to have problems. I have contacted the insurance company and they had never heard of the recall. I think toyota should stand up and do the right thing and give us a new truck that doesn't have potentially fatal recalls. Or maybe a class action legal response may be in order? I am contacting a lawyer asap i broke both wrist and cannot use my right arm now as a direct result of irresponsibility for this not being done right. If anyone else is interested let me know. Email me at the very least the dealer who sold us this vehicle should be liable for stating there is "nothing at all wrong with that truck" it is in perfect condition. What all that knowledge the pretend to posses about vehicles and they are not intelligent enough to check for recalls prior to reselling them to their "valued customers". *tr

I was inspecting the vehicle for an extended warranty company the issue was the transmission. I was in the process of inspecting the vehicle when I was installing the Blue Diver to retrieve the stored codes in the system when I leaned in to turned the accessory key the vehicle started in gear and drove froward. Causing the left front door to close on me from the lift.
I put vehicle in park and got out to close a gate on my farm property. When i realized the vehicle started rolling backwards, i tried to get back in to stop it. The door knocked me down and pick up almost ran over me. I did a backwards summersalt to get out of the way of rolling pickup. When i was finally able to get up and get to pick up, it had slowed due to the jack knifing of the bale buggy i was towing. Plastic and rubber in the shifter had to be pushed back inside shifter case before i could put back in park position. Later that same day, i put in park in parking lot and it jumped into reverse again. Luckily i was still in vehicle. I believe the problem is in the shifter console but actual problem is unknown. This has happened a total of 4 times. Twice i was out of vehicle. Twice i was still in drivers seat. Only one time did this problem result in injury.

Vehicle began to accelerate down a steep hill and no matter what i tried to do to stop the vehicle nothing happened. It just kept accelerating. Lost control of vehicle, and was unable to negotiate the right hand turn. Vehicle slammed into a dirt embankment, then rolled over and reversed it's position. Consequently, i was trapped in a running vehicle with gasoline leaking and unable to shut off the engine. Had to wait 30n minutes for ems/fire rescue to arrive. Extrication took another 25-30 minutes. Transported to trauma center, york, pa.
My original owner 2002 Toyota Tundra Truck was being backed up in reverse with a utility trailer attached up a very, very moderate incline on a driveway pushing the trailer onto a gravel pad ALONGSIDE (parallel) the driveway. As it started to spin gravel the truck was put into a 4 wheel Drive LOW RANGE. This is in keeping with the TOYOTA owners manual publication 0M34417U Part Number 01999-34417 Print date 02-0109-01. We followed the manual instruction on 4 WD operation. Within a few feet the truck stopped as if the wheels had hit a curb and there was no further movement no matter the accelerator pedal position and the engine speed was unchanged as if it was in a stall. All of a sudden there was a loud bang underneath the truck and the truck raced rearward 8-10 feet jackknifing the trailer into a tree and upending the truck and trailer. We contacted Toyota on the incident and they had a third party look at the truck for brake condition, floor mat placement and throttle freedom at the body shop & Toyota closed the complaint file. Toyota IGNORED the circumstances and description of the incident in closing the complaint. We have been a very long time TOYOTA truck family and have owned SIX Toyota 4 wheel drives plus a Lexus all-wheel drive. In doing our own evaluation and investigation we have found that the truck went into a 4-wheel drive "wind-up" or "bind" and found information related on it from ASE Certification sites. NO MENTION of this potential issue is provided in the owners manual! We found that the torque from this can be over 4,000 ft/lb. and possible magnified even more by low range. When this bind suddenly is released the movement can be violent as happened here. Why is this not talked about in the owner manual? Why does Toyota ignore this reality? Indeed, the Toyota Rep. Mr. Ronald Inton said "he never heard of anyone backing up in 4 Wheel Drive"! WHAT?? We have the vehicle, photos, Toyota denial all available for review,.
The vehicle while parked and not running on our driveway burst into flames and had large fire and explosions that burned the vehicle front half completely. the whole engine compartment burned and melted and destroyed the vehicle. No warning lights, no issues. Just burst into flames and destroyed the vehicle.
While operating my 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro under normal conditions, I started the vehicle and activated standard factory equipment including the seat heaters and window/mirror defrosters. Shortly thereafter, I noticed a slight acrid odor inside the vehicle, which quickly became more pronounced. I drove approximately 200 feet, and immediately returned to my driveway. Upon shutting the vehicle down, I observed smoke coming from the engine compartment. I opened the hood and confirmed smoke and signs of an electrical fire originating in the engine bay. I used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire and then disconnected the vehicle’s battery. No injuries occurred. The vehicle was not restarted and was subsequently towed to an authorized Toyota dealership for inspection. Visible damage is present in the engine compartment, including the main fuse/relay box and associated electrical components. The incident occurred without collision and during normal vehicle operation.
On February 25, 2025, I took my 2023 Toyota Tundra VIN# [XXX] to Stokes Toyota Beaufort, SC, for its 45,000-mile service. Just 300 meters after leaving the dealership, my truck caught fire, causing significant damage and putting my safety at risk. I am sharing pictures of the incident and the warning messages I received on the dashboard. I was on my way back to the dealership when this happened. At first, the truck was shaking and losing power. I managed to make a U-turn to return to the dealership, but then the engine stalled. At that moment, I started seeing warning messages on the dashboard. I immediately called the dealership to inform them that I was experiencing issues with my truck. While still on the phone with the dealership, I noticed smoke coming from the passenger side of the hood. Moments later, flames started emerging from the hood. I quickly hung up and called 911. 1- What component or system failed or malfunctioned? I believe the engine and possibly the brakes failed (based on the dashboard warning messages). 2- How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Within minutes, my truck burned completely. I am grateful I didn't have my children with me at the time. 3- Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I received formal letters from Toyota Manufacturer, Toyota Distributor, and the dealership, stating that they are sorry for what happened but cannot offer any assistance with my claim. 4- Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Yes, the insurance company, fire marshal, dealership, Toyota, and Engineering Analysis Associates (EAA) have all inspected the vehicle. 5- Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure? Yes, the truck was shaking, losing power, and eventually stopped completely, displaying warning messages on the dashboard.

A 1992 ford f-250 (2 door) towing a portable cement mixer, estimated weight @350-450 pounds, crossed the center line and struck a 2006 toyota tundra crew cab (4 door) head on. Both vehicles estimated speed was 50 mph. All drivers and passenger were wearing seat belts, airbags did deploy. The f-250's driver sustained 1 detached rib plus cuts and bruises. In the toyota, the following injuries occurred: passenger: broken left ankle, 7 broken ribs, sternum and clavicle fractures, 7 inch leg laceration, 5 inch hand laceration, cuts & bruises. Driver: broken right ankle, brain contusion/concussion (visible impact spot on windshield - see below), broken rib, cuts and bruises. Toyota's occupants confirmed that the engine/transmission intruded about 2 feet into the passenger compartment, consistent with the ankle injuries. It also appears from photos that the windshield was pushed back into the driver, although the belt and airbag could have not provided adequate protection also. Frontal photos of the toyota show, apparently, that the bodywork detached from the frame - the front of the frame is clearly visible & does not look seriously damaged, with the bodywork (including the bumper) pushed back substantially. It seems to me there are several possible defect/design issues here: 1. Engine and transmission came straight back and did not deflect downwards, causing the lower extremity injuries. 2. Multiple rib injuries despite occupants being belted suggests excessive airbag inflation pressure. 3. Body to frame attachment failure, exacerbating intrusion of engine and frontal collapse/compression. The accident was investigated by the california highway patrol (report available) and occurred on state route 178 on may 27, 2015, about 25 miles east of bakersfield, california.

On 12/17/2016 my daughter and i had a head-on collision. The passenger side airbags deployed fine and prevented my daughter from having any major injuries. My driver's side airbag popped out of the steering wheel but didn't inflate. Due to the airbag not deploying properly i hit my head on the steering wheel. This caused me to be transported by ambulance to the local hospital where i received stitches in my forehead and continue to suffer from a dizziness/headaches - concussion. I have asked my insurer usaa and their contracted inspectors to inspect the driver's airbag without success. Apparently you need to hire your own engineers or inspectors to conduct an inspection. I have tried to locate one in wv without success. Usaa wants to close out the claim and salvage/auction my vehicle. I would like to get an inspection done first. I'm not sure how to proceed on this but wanted to report the incident to prevent others from having to experience this and hopefully save lives if this is a widespread issue. Thanks for your time. *tr

- Engine — a larger or turbocharged engine tows more than the base unit.
- Drivetrain & axle — 4WD/AWD and the axle ratio shift the rating.
- Tow package — the factory towing package (hitch, wiring, transmission cooler) raises the max.
- Payload & GVWR — GVWR caps the combined load; more passengers and cargo lower how much you can tow.
Exact towing capacity, payload and GVWR are added per engine, drivetrain and trim — decode your VIN above, or check the driver's door-jamb and hitch labels. Curb weight from vehicle specifications.
