Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 40,000 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.

In the 2022 Tundra, complaints peaked at 414 while recalls stood at 13, a sharp rise compared to the preceding years (2021: 23 complaints, 3 recalls) and a slight dip from 2023’s 371 complaints and 13 recalls. Across the generation, complaint counts have generally trended downward since the early 2000s, with the 2022 figure representing a high point that aligns with a moderate recall frequency. The top complaint areas—Engine (75), Power Train (37), Fuel/Propulsion System (27), and a combined Power Train/Engine/Fuel category (24)—highlight mechanical reliability concerns rather than safety failures, which remain low (4 crash complaints, 0 fire complaints). This pattern indicates that 2022 is situated near the upper end of the complaint arc, suggesting that a used 2022 model may carry a higher likelihood of mechanical issues than later years. Consequently, while the 2022 Tundra offers modern features, buyers should weigh the elevated complaint volume and consider a more recent model for greater peace of mind.
