What's wrong?
The affected part is the automatic transmission assembly in 2022-2024 Tundra, LX, Sequoia Hybrid, and Tundra Hybrid vehicles. The transmission manages how engine power moves to the wheels and uses internal clutch parts to hold, release, and route that power as the driver shifts between park, reverse, neutral, and drive.
In these vehicles, the issue is tied to transmission assemblies that use brake clutch discs of a specific design. When the vehicle is shifted into neutral, those parts do not always separate the drivetrain the way the driver expects. With the service brake and parking brake released, the vehicle can move even though neutral is selected.
The driver does not receive a warning before the failure. If the condition happens on a flat surface and the brakes are not applied, the vehicle can creep forward unexpectedly.
