Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 Toyota Tundra recorded 389 complaints and 14 recalls, representing a notable decrease in complaints from 2006 (545) while maintaining a peak level of recalls. Across the generation, complaint volumes were highest in 2000 (1,032) and generally trended downward through the late 2000s, whereas recalls remained consistently elevated between 2003 and 2009. The 2007 model year sits at the tail end of this high-recall plateau, though it notably saw zero federal investigations compared to three in 2006 and one in 2008. The data does not specify root causes, but the primary complaint areas for 2007 include Power Train (49), Structure (41), Vehicle Speed Control (41), and Suspension (38), alongside 26 crash complaints and 5 fire complaints. Given the elevated recall count and significant safety-related complaint areas, buyers should proceed with caution and verify that all 14 recalls have been completed before purchasing.
