“MY VEHICLE SET A DTC P2440 FOR THE SECONDARY AIR INDUCTION VALVE STUCK OPEN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN UNDER WATER OR OFF ROAD. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW/ENGINEERING DEFECT THAT TOYOTA CREATED AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS A RECALL FOR ALL AFFECTED MODELS FOR REPLACEMENT FOR A BETTER OR REDESIGNED PART. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT FOR THE AFFECTED PARTS IS BEYOND REASONABLE FOR ALL TOYOTA OWNERS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THERE FLAW. I PULLED OUT ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD AND HAD NO POWER AND WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. ITS NOT SAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS. *TR”

“2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4.7. APPROXIMATELY 124,000 KMS ENGINE WENT INITO LIMP MODE. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS AIR PUMP AND VALVE BANK FAILURE, $4700 REPAIR ESTIMATE. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OVER 100,000 KMS. ALSO PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER THESE PARTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. (GO FIGURE) PURSUED THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY WHICH COVERS EMISSION CONTROL PARTS, HOWEVER TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS NOT PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH THE AIR PUMP CONTROLS EMISSIONS AT VEHICLE START UP. TOOK THE PUMP OFF THE VEHICLE AND DRAINED THE WATER FROM THE POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM, LUBRICATED THE PUMP AND GOT IT WORKING. TRUCK WENT BACK INTO LIMP MODE AFTER A COUPLE DAYS NOW APPARENTLY VALVE BANK IS STUCK. TOYOTA STILL RECOMMENDS REPLACING ALL THE PARTS FOR $4700. NOT HAPPY WITH TOYOTA THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL THE PUMP IS LOCATED IN THE FENDER WELL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF RIGHT FRONT TIRE, THE INTAKE PIPE FOR THE PUMP IS DESIGNED SO THAT ANY WATER PRESENT GOES DIRECTLY INTO THE PUMP CAUSING THE SYSTEM FAILURE. IT WOULD BE A PRETTY SIMPLE FIX FOR TOYOTA JUST PUT A 90 DEGREE BEND IN THE PIPE SO THAT WATER CANNOT GET IN AND…”
