Toyota Warranties Air Injection Pump System – Reimbursement Available
In response to reports of air induction pump assemblies and/or air injection switching valves issues on their 2007-2010 Tundra and 2008-2010 Sequoia models, Toyota has decided to increase its warranty on these parts and is even offering a reimbursement if you already had this issue fixed. This is a great relief for owners since it was an such an expensive fix as we reported in April, 2010, Tundra and Sequoia $4000 Air Injection System Problem.
Toyota Tundras like this 2010 might have an issue with the air injection system that could cost up to $4,000 to repair. Toyota now offers a longer warranty and reimbursement.
The air injection system is utilized to improve cold-start emissions, and is a federally mandated emissions requirement. The systems in question have been affected by moisture in the pumps and valves, resulting in the illumination of the check engine light. While the injection system has no impact on the core function of the engine, the problem has reportedly cost some consumers as much as $4,000 to fix. In an ongoing effort to ensure customer satisfaction, Toyota has recently introduced a Customer Support Program to extend the warranty coverage on air injection pumps and air switching valves.
This program will extend the warranty on air induction pump assemblies and air injection switching valves for the condition described to 10 years from the date of first use or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. These vehicles were previously covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. When the condition is verified, the dealer will replace the air injection pumps and air switching valves in the affected vehicles. Owners of Tundra and Sequoia models covered by this extended warranty will receive an Owner Letter via first class mail with details about the Customer Service Program. There are approximately 477,000 Tundra (2007 to 2010 Model Year) and 57,000 Sequoia (2008 to 2010 Model Year) vehicles covered by this Customer Service Program. Please note that damage incurred by accidents, abuse, vandalism, or similar events are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty or the Warranty Extension.
An owner who has already paid for the repair of this specific condition affecting air injection systems should refer to the owner letter upon receipt for reimbursement consideration instructions. Not every model produced in this time period will display air injection system malfunctions. All vehicles comply with Toyota’s rigorous durability and quality standards. The condition described impacts only a small number of air injection pumps and air switching valves. This warranty extension reflects Toyota’s desire to assure their customers that Toyota stands behind its products. If you experience a Malfunction Indicator Light (check engine light) “ON” condition, contact any Toyota dealer and make arrangements for diagnosis and repair.
Owners with questions or concerns should contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-888-270-9371 Monday through Friday, 5:00 am to 6:00 pm, or Saturday 7:00 am through 4:00 pm Pacific Time.

Although a lot of the guys that have already set up a bypass for the AIP’s are skeptical, this is good news for for Tundra owners.
I received my AIP Warranty Enhancement letter from Toyota two weeks ago. 🙂
Keeping it in my back pocket!
I haven’t received anything yet. I had an AIP replaced under warranty earlier this year on a 2010 with about 18K miles. Glad to hear they are extending the warranty, though I wish they would issue a RECALL and replace the pumps with a more effective system. When mine went, the truck went into limp mode and couldn’t accelerate to highway speed. Thank God I wasn’t towing my RV at the time or trying to make a left turn in front of traffic.
I own a 5.7 2011, any difference in my AIP than the previous Tundras that mine is not on the list with the extended AIP warranty?
Dez – It may take Toyota 3 years, but they do deal with problems like this. Amazing, right? I’m sure you’ve talked to as many people about this as I have. I don’t blame anyone for being a skeptic.
Mike – I understand. The cost of recalling the parts is lower than warrantying them.
Edison – I’m not sure – frankly I don’t know what caused the problem in the first place. I’ve heard lots of theories, but nothing conclusive.
This is great news! While I have had no problems with my truck’s AIP to date it’s nice to know Toyota is looking out for me with the new, longer warranty. Good job, Toyota. Its moves like this that keep me coming back to Toyota time after time.
Better late than never. Even though I haven’t had an issue this goes a long way with me. After four Chevy’s in a row I bought a 2008 Tundra and have been very pleased. However, the air injection issue always made me question Toyota as long term choice. I have no doubts after this.

I feel the same as texmln. Again just shy of 122k miles on mine I don’t have much time/miles left for this to give me issues. Definitely great info.
This is certainly good news for a lot of owners. I don’t understand why the 2011&12’s are not covered though. They have the same AIP system.
Jason, I received my warranty verification yesterday. Its exactly as written in the article. I believe that all of the attention given toward this issue (esp this web site!) forced Toyota into enhancing the warranty. It just goes to say, if you do nothing then nothing will happen but if the voice is loud enough then you can expect results. Thanks for writing the first article about this issue, a lot of owners will save tons of money on this one!!!!

I received my letter and had to pay for my repair out of warranty on my 2007 Tundra. I submitte my claim and to date (about 6 weeks) and have not heard a peep.

Glad Toyota extended the warranty however, I was planning on keeping the truck unitl the wheels fall off, now I will probably trade it. I cant afford a AIP fix every 80k miles!!!

Now, after filing for reimbursement, actually getting the money back is an issue. No updates to my case for two months. I just keep calling!!
Hey Guys and Gals,
This website saved me $1822.00. I need to thank everyone who has contributed their input to this site. If it weren’t for all the talk about this issue and the warranty that just has been issued I would have been out this amount. I brought my truck in today for the P2440 code, which is when the Engine Light stays on, the CAR with Snakes behind it is lit (anti-skid lights), the VSC Control Light is flashing and the 4 Lo light is also flashing. As I was out of warranty my dealer gave me the above price to fix it. I told my dealer I couldn’t afford it and I would just have to pick up my truck. I told him you know, I don’t want to argue but I was reading online about this and it looks like this particular issue is covered under a new bulletin POL 11-05 dated 10/19/11 he said that he wasn’t aware of it and I directed him to this blog. Called me 4 minutes later while I was limping home in in my Tundra, parts are on order and it will all be covered under the warranty. Thanks Toyota, I’ll tell you…I almost turned away from this truck as I bought it only because of Toyota’s longevity and durability. You did right by me and my next truck will be a Tundra. How about a 1 ton one???
Thanks Tundra Headquarters.
levdot – Awesome – thank you. Tell your friends!! 🙂
BEWARE:
I received the enhanced warranty notice as well on my 2007 Tundra with 80K. Not one problem with my Tundra since I owned the vehicle but sure enough, a month after the receiving the warranty enhancement on “Air Injuction Pumps and/or Air Switching Valves” I noticed the engine warning light described in the warranty letter.
At the Dealer, DTC P2440 diognostic test reflected “air injection switch valuve Bank 1 stuck” and the Toyota Stadium Tampa, FL dealer service advisers say I must replace the air vacuum switching valuve B1 and Gasket Driver side VSV at my own cost – NOT COVERED UNDER warranty. The dealership charged me $60 for the diagnostic test, suggestively pushed $150 in EFI service and Induction Service, said my battery was bad.
I took it to another Toyota dealership in Deland,FL who wanted to charge me another DTC P2440 diagnostic charge and claimed the problem was not covered under the enhanced air switching valve warranty.
For a third look, I took my Tundra to a private auto repair and discovered differently – even my battery was OK, performance was up to specs. Recommended I call Toyota “Corporate” and gave me their phone #.
Toyota Corporate: 800 331-4331 ext 4.
What a run-around; would never have expected it from Toyota dealerships.
Has anyone received riembursement yet that filed for it? It’s ben over 2 months for me and nothing yet.
I mailed my docs on 12/12/11… still nothing
I have a2007 tundra 5.7 and had my radiator replace three times i also had another coolant leak that was detected when I went in to get the oil changed, after getting that fixed thats when I noticed a very bad sound coming from the engine when I would excelerate ihad the head tech test drive the vehicle and he also heard it, the truck sounded as if it was an old truck after they checked everthing i was told that nothing was wrong with the engine, I then tried to explain to the tech that the sound was only heard doing excelleration and not at idle . ithen went to another toyota dealership,and they told me that was a normal sound coming from the air pump, they change a gasket I noticed the difference in performance,and the next week I received my letter I have yyet to rescedule an appt to get the problem taking care of but i will, i have a platium warranty and I was starting to think that they were trying not to do the warranty work.
Got a rejection letter yesterday. It says my claim didn’t fit their criteria. The problem was identified with 147797 miles on the truck, it was the secondary air pump that was replaced. Not sure what criteria wasn’t met. But that’s okay, I just paid off a Sienna loan that saved me $1900 in interest, about what I paid for the repair, and I will never buy Toyota again!
And now I repeat this post on Facebook
Sorry to hear that Terry! I’m beginning to think I may get a similar letter. Why even waste the time to send out a ” warranty enhancement”. Really dissappointing toyota

*************QUITE MISLEADING THIS STATEMENT IS***********
YOU CALL THEM AND YOU GET THE ANSWER THAT ONLY VEHICLES FROM 2008 ONWARDS ARE COVERED UNDER THIS SO CALLED EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. THOSE VEHICLES ARE STILL UNDER STANDARD WARRANTY AND ALSO THEY HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS PROBLEM LATER ON ANY WAY. THERE IS STILL NOTHING FOR THE VEHICLES EARLIER THEN 2008. YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY $4000 FOR YOUR REPAIRS. SOME MANUFACTURES AND SOME VEHICLES.
FOREVER NO TO TOYOTA FROM ME AND ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILIES AND THE PEOPLE THEY KNOW.
Just to let everyone know I received my letter for the pump and I have a 2009 Tundra 4X4. This pump let go on my truck at 50K, I lost power to the truck and the low 4wheel drive light came on and so did the check engine and others too. Well Toyota replaced both pumps for free as long as you have the letter with you, which I did but ever since they replaced the pumps now my fuel consumption has changed and it is burning a whole bunch of gas which is not good at all. On a quarter of a tank of gas I can only go 30 miles with the truck so I was wondering if this is also the cause of all these problems with my truck, has anyone else have these same issues?? I live in Canada now and bought the truck in the states since I live in CT at the time and I bought it new and have babbyed it through out and kept it in top shape through the dealership here and in the states. So if anyone has any suggestions on this could they let me know, thanks.
All, just came from Toyota shop here in Houston where after holding my 2008 Tundra for 2 weeks, replaced just one of the air pumps! Asked why not change both pumps at once, found out you have to wait until the pumps give way to have them replaced. That those not make sense since my truck has 136k miles, and the warranty goes out of the window at 150k miles. Toyota is being VERY CHEAP when they know these air pumps are faulty and should be recalled.
2008 Tundra with 5.7l engine, 59,700 miles, went into limp mode as I exited a campground with my 7500 lb. trailer in tow. Dealer states it was warranty covered and loaner Camry provided while they waited for parts. Although I am disappointed to have another part failure in this vehicle, at least Toyota stood behind it and the dealer gave very good service without argument or discussion. I like the truck but would be serious about another manufacturer — if I could find one better.
I just had this problem in with my 2005 tundra. Had to pay $2998.00 to replace. Only have 141,000 miles. Anyone else have this issue with the 05
I’ve just paid for two switching valves……today. Total cost was $1,104. The cost of the valves themselves from Toyota was $395 each. After the Toyota shop told me they wanted $100 to hook it up to the computer and determine if it was covered, assuming the answer would be “No”, I went to a local trusted shop.
I did not buy the truck new, but did buy what was sold as a “Program Truck” from my local Toyota dealer…..an ’07 Tundra, it now has 55,000 miles. Do you think I’d qualify for reimbursement? I’ll call tomorrow and let you know how it comes out.
I’ve just gotten off the phone with Toyota, USA. I explained to them that I’d just had both air switching valves replaced and so far, there’s not been a hint of a problem and the service rep. told me that she aticipated a full reimursement of the $1104 I spent yesterday. The policy is good for 10 years or 150,000 miles.
In order to qualify for reimbursement, you need the following…
Proof of payment
Copy of repair invoice
“CCR”…Cause, Condition and Remedy…..a brief statement from the repair shop stating which indicator lights were displayed, what their diagnoses was, and what they did to repair it.
A copy of vehicle registration.
These documents should be mailed to…
Toyota Motor Vehicle Sales
National Customer Relations
19001 South Western Avenue
Dept. WC10
Torrance, California
90501
Toyota may very well have restored my faith in them.
Jim
Oh, and I’ll let you know how it comes out. And by the way, the customer service rep. said it might be 10 weeks from the time they receive my information until I receive reimbursement.
Jim
I’d like to know how Doug came out? He posted back in December that he hadn’t been reimbursed, but we haven’t heard back. Doug?
Jim
I just paid $2200.00 to have this “fixed” on my 2005 Tundra.
Thanks a lot, Toyota!!!
Bob
I wasn’t aware this issue included the first gen Tundras..
Just came from my local Toyota dealership. Brought my 2008 Tundra in because the dash was lit up like Canada Day fireworks and they diagnosed this issue. They called to tell me my truck was ready, parts were on order and my appointment was booked for the work – 6 hours of labour plus around $1600 in parts, and they need the truck for two nights. Just about to faint because my truck is out of warranty but they said not to worry, this issue is completely covered up to 240,000 km or 10 years. Glad I have a second vehicle though. The truck is limping and appointment is not for another 3 weeks!!
I blew the engine in my ’08 tundra. 5.7L. Valve stem and valve seat fell through my block. Major damage. Appaerntly its the first one ever. Can someone please help me find an engine for my truck. I’ve searched across canada. Noone can find one. Please help
Just like to letg everyone know that if you do not have another vehicle to drive other then your Tundra and you have to wait for parts, disconnect the battery and let it sit for about 5 minutes, the computor will go back to normal and you then have power back to your truck. While I was waiting for parts to come in I did this and I had no problems with the truck for a limited time. It then went back to flashing again and I just kept on doing this until my truck was fixed.
Well I’m in the state of shock. Today I received a check from Toyota, USA in the amount of $1104.53, a full reimbursement for the total cost of repair, parts and labor.
When I first sent my paperwork, the repair shop got my VIN wrong and Toyota asked for a correction, and another statement (what they call a CCR) from the shop. Thinking I might be getting the run around, I complied immediately…..two weeks later I received a full reimursement…..retroactively. I’d buy another Toyota in a heartbeat. They did what they said they’d do.
Now you do have to cross your “T”s and dot your “I”s, but I certainly can’t blame them for wanting the correct VIN. Less than 6 weeks from the time I filed….not bad at all.
Go Toyota go!

Started my 2005 4.7L V8 4-Runner on Monday morning and several warning lights appeared. Very sluggish acceleration on my way to the local Toyota dealer. They ran diagnostics and received a P2440 code referencing a secondary air intake valve problem. Was quoted over $2,400 in parts plus $950 in labor to repair. Contacted Toyota corp to discuss similarities I’m experiencing to the issues with the Tundra/Sequoia with the same engine as mine. Was told my model wasn’t covered under the extended warranty. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, WILL NEVER BUY TOYOTA AGAIN!!
Brought my 2005 sequoia for oil change on Sunday. The next day the check engine light came on and the abs or varps light came on. The warning lights then went off. It happened off and on for a couple of days and we brought it in to toyota. They said it was the Air injection pump and valves and the abs braking. $4000 + repair. I saw this site and called the toyota corp and got the same info as above after 30 mins. Was told my model wasn’t covered under the extended warranty even though it is a known problem.
Has anyone with a 2005 got this warrantied or has their been any group lawsuit to get these models paid for by toyota. I have owned toyotas for years but now thats going to change. Thanks for the info on this website.
this is going on with these year models but I have a 2005 Sequoia and I have the same problem…anybody with a toyota not in the years of recall please notify Toyota so that we too can be included in this recall
I have fault codes P1442 and P1445. It is a 2005 sequoia with 109,000miles
I also had codes C0215, C1201, C1223, C1247 come up at the same time and these all relate to the skid control failure and abs sensor failures. Will these codes be resolved with this module? Did these problems also come about just because of the air injection failure?
Also yes I would like to notify Toyota about there AIP failures. What is the best way to do that so they will include in recall in the future.
Thanks. Sean
I have a 2005 Toyota Sequoia with 100,000 miles on it as well. I am going through the same issues with the air injection system. Is there any information on a lawsuit or other information regarding getting this recalled. The cost has been estimated at over 3,000 because of the pump blades breaking off and blocking the valves.
This is a nightmare!!

Anyone had this happen on a Lexus? My “check engine” “VSC TRAC” and “VSC OFF” lights went on this AM – took it to the dealer (couldn’t get to my usual guy) – by the time I got to the dealer the lights were off. Left it . . . the service rep just called and said the code indicated the air injector pump was failing. Told me $1600-$3000 to fix, but wouldn’t know b/c they basically have to take the whole thing apart to see exactly what needs to be replaced. Well, I called my guy and he told me this is a known and addressed issue in Toyota vehicles, but that they were just starting to see them on the Lexus models – but they were seeing it. Anyone have any suggestions on how to see if Toyota/Lexus will cover this under the same 10 yr/150,000 as the Toyota makes/models? Help please . . . my guy can do it cheaper, but it’s still a lot of $$$$ . . .
Ugh! We have a 2005 Tundra with about 105,000 miles on it and are going through the same thing. Estimate for the parts alone is around $2,200. There is obviously a problem with these vehicles. Going to call Toyota to see what they say, but by prior posts it looks like we are totally out of luck because it’s a 2005 and not a later model. Maybe if enough people call they will do something about this? We too have owned Toyotas for years – have 3 right now. I can’t say that we will ever purchase another Toyota after this and replacing a transmission on our 2002 Toyota with less than 130,000 miles on it. Apparently they aren’t made the way they used to be made…
OK friends, where do I go to encourage Toyota to do the right thing? Although newer models are under a 150,000 warranty, my 2005 Sequoia with 106,250 is out of luck! I have a case number with Toyota Customer Experience. What is my next step. I would be driving a GM model if I wanted major repairs every 100K miles!!
Does anyone know who i can call to have my 2006 toyota tundra repaired. My air injection pump failed and toyota will not help me.
My 2008 Tundra Aip failed with 113K miles. The dealer where I bought it repaired it. There was no charge to me. The warranty was extended to 10 yrs 150K miles. If you guys are having problems with your dealership you may want to find a new one next time.
So how about this i just bought a 2012 Tundra Limited 2 months ago. on my way to work yesterday 6am check engine light comes on and truck backs itself down to 40mph. i have 3992 miles on the truck and at first the dealer tells me it seems the transmission needs to be replaced. calls me 2hrs later telling be the truck went into limp mode because of our favorite topic air injection pump. They later tell me they are out of loaner to lend me for the week and the part will being coming in the next day. The following day they called me back and tell me part wont be in until mid February, to come pick up the truck and drive it as is until then. WTF TOYOTA??? Atleast i know its under warrenty right?
Only 3K miles on our 2013 and we’re already having to get the air induction system replaced
My name is Amy and I have a V8 5.7 2012 Toyota Tundra. Yesterday my 2012 Tundra with 9,000 miles on it began de-accelerating, shifting oddly and I had no power (limp mode I have heard a few say). Immediately I noticed the 4lo was blinking but I was in 2wd, the check engine light was on and also the trac off light was on. Now I have babied my truck since day 1 when it only have 4 miles on it, so I was pretty pissed! I had it towed to my local dealer. The service guys were gone for the day and the sales people had really no clue. I saw in some posts this AIP issue seems to be a common issue in later models. What I dont see is what Toyota dealers are planning on doing for 2011, 2012 and 2013 Tundras having the same problem. I see a lot of posts out there for newer models. If anyone has any good information on this, please respond. Thanks.
I had 3 pumps fail on my new 2012 Tundra that I bought in May. Dealer has it now and I have a new Tacoma to use. Truck has less than 9,000 miles on it. Initial pump failed and dealer installed another that worked for a couple of months and failed. I waited almost 1 month for air pump to come from factory, that pump failed in less than 1 week. I am told by dealer that they have a “fix” that it is a computer problem and that EPA and government have to approve.. I am very frustrated and need a resolution. I feel they are holding my truck hostage.
2005 Tundra w/ 86k miles. Bank 1 & Bank 2 AIP valves stuck open. After finding this thread and learning that it not covered by the recall, I’m so furious, I hope the truck catches on fire and I can roast marshmallows on it! Have owned numerous Toyota’s, but this will be the last…
OK !2007 TUNDRA 4.7 44000 MILES ON IT AIR PUMP WENT DEAD CODE 2442 DID BUY THE TRUCK IN US BUT I LIVE IN CANADA FIRST MY DEALER TOLD ME ITS UNDER “EXTENDED ” WARRANTY THEY ORDERED THE PARTS WEEK LATER I DROPPED OFF THE TRUCK FOR THE REPAIR 3 HOURS LATER THEY CALL ME AND TEL ME THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHAT SHOULD I DO ?????
CALLED TOYOTA USA THEY TALD ME THAT SPECIAL WARRANTY SHOULD BEWALID IN CANADA???? THANKS
Actually I got it done today i went to a different dealer They had all the parts and took them five hours to fix it Thank you BOB for replying I hope new pump will last Thanks to that website I saved about $3200 thank you Again !!!!!
My 2007 Tundra Limited 4X4 just died today. All the darn lights come on, i had no power and i crawled it back to my local Toyota dealer. Thank goodness they just called and said my air injection pump and Toyota is covering all expenses. All is Good.
I have a 2012 Crewmax with 17,500 miles. Check engine light came on, no issues with performance. Brought it to the dealer and it was changed in a few days (they gave me loaner tin can tacoma). Very good experience thus far.
Just brought the truck into the dealer for secondary air pump. They just called to tell me that it has been replaced once already and now I would have to pay for it out of my pocket. $4500! So the local dealer says Toyota will only pay for it once… What a bunch of bs..
I had the code P2442 come up on my 2009 Tundra Crewmax 5.7l with 104,000 miles. Called the TCEC listed in this article and they verified that my local dealer will cover all costto replace. I brought my truck in this morning and it will be repaired on Monday. Local dealer placed me in a new 2013 Tundra until repairs are made. I believe in Toyota and I am pleased with the response thus far.
At only 75,000 I’ve had to have AIP replaced, also have the wheel bearing issue being repaired 75,000 miles, waiting to hear from local repair shop estimated repair cost to be $400$-1200. Did not want to risk further issues by driving 75 miles to nearest Toyota dealer. Now I know why there are so few Toyota Tundras on the road here in east Texas.
Never again will I purchase a Toyota.

my 06 tundra has air injection pump problems and is not covered under the warranty reimbursement plan. i have been a true toyota fan for years but this will be my last toyota since toyota is not standing behind their products like they used to do.
attn; DAN go to a different dealer tell them what’s wrong Witt the truck and ask them to process that ” extended warranty ” don’t ask them if they can do it tell them to go it. .half if the time they don’t know what to do , before that call Touota and get the details of tha t coverage. Good luck !
i cant seem to get toyota to stand behind a faulty air injection system on my 2006 tundra this will be a determining factor as to whether i continue to buy toyota in the future.
How can I find out if my tundra is one of the ones covered without going through the hassle of taking it all the way to the dealership? I’m having the same P2440/p2442 issues on my 2007 5.7 liter. I don’t recall receiving a letter for this specific issue, but I could have easily missed it, or misplaced it as it would not have been on my radar at the time. Sounds like some 2007’s are covered and some are not. If it’s not going to be covered, I’m just going to go with the module, but if they’ll fix it under warranty, I’ll carry up to the Fred Anderson dealership in Raleigh where I bought it.
2007 Tundra 5.7 V8, 107,500 miles. This morning I got a the Check Engine, VSC Off, Traction Control light combo along with a truck in limp mode.
Googled the condition first and learned about the AIP issue from here. Went to the local stealership expecting a battle, but they are warrantying my AIP repair without a fuss. Service writer even mentioned the 10/150K extended warranty.
Also having a leaking water pump replaced (ouch.)
Thanks for this info! I have an 07 with 103,500 miles and have this problem. First I called the customer service hotline to verify then I took it to my local dealer and they are going to fix it! They gave me no hassle and even have me in a rental until mine is fixed!
I knew nothing about this until mine went out on my 07′ Tundra.
The problem is it waited until 184K miles..
I cannot understand why this was not a recall situation..
I cant help but feel a little cheated.
I emailed customer service and got a case number, and a “we’re sorry”
My 2005 tundra, less than 50k, is having the same problem and Toyota told me to take a hike.
My extra cab 08 w/ 4.7 with 70K started this morning with the Christmas tree of lights on the dash & ran all the way to the dealer in limp mode. They haven’t gotten back to me with the final diagnosis yet, but they did tell me they “think” its the AIP and acknowledged the extended warranty from Toyota on this.
I’ve driven nothing but Toy’s since 1992. If they don’t take care of this properly, this will be my last.
Good news from the dealer, 100% warranty for me. Zero out of pocket & they are fixing the window power switch recall at the same time.
As a result of this website, I did more research and found that the AIP is the EXACT SAME part on my 2005 Lexus GX470 with 142,000 miles. Went to Lexus Customer Service and asked they help me out with this $4200 repair because of the extended warranty on the AIP in their Toyotas. Their response after 2 days of deliberation? “No, you are past your 4 year/50,000 mile warranty.” Uh, duh. I had even purchased an extended warranty and never made a claim on it that expired 4 months ago. LAST LEXUS FOR ME!
Has anyone heard when the block off plates are being available. I got the kit to bypass error codes and it works awesome but it was advised to put in the block off plates. Thanks. Sean
I had to have 1 of my AIP’s on my 2008 Tundra with 62K miles replaced today. Went to my regular service shop ( not Toyota) to check the codes and they determined that it was one of these Air injection pumps. They got the pump from the local Toyota dealer. Figuring I had nothing to lose, i called the Toyota customer service. Long story short, Toyota will reimburse to me the entire cost of the part n labor. Toyota customer satisfaction is alive n well.
same symptoms here; 4lo flashing, CEL, VSC flashing, limp mode, went to Advance Auto where they pulled a P2440 code. Calling the dealer tomorrow to see if they are aware of the issue.
Truck is an ’08 CrewMax, 5.7l, 66,000 miles, sometimes tow a 22′ RV, never really abused. Bought it new.
I will follow up with results, Dealer and location.
I have a 2005 Toyota Sequoia with over 100,000 miles on it. I am going through the same issues with the air injection system. Is there any information on a recall for 2005? It is very costly to repair because of the pump blades breaking off and blocking the valves.
This should have been part of the lawsuit too. The part alone is approximately $1200.00 excluding labor. With so many complaints, why isn’t this a part of the recall for the 2005 model?
Also having the AIP problem as of two months ago. Luckily covered by the warranty, but according to the dealership, the part they need is on backorder and cannot give any estimate of when it will be here.
Toyota Customer Service is paying for a rental car after I called and complained, but also no estimate of when the part will be here.
This has been the most frustrating process. Because of this, Toyota has lost a good customer.
Toyota Certified Warranty is covering it plus rental car. Seems this is happening with Fords too? Bad manufacturer of parts?
Sorry, my issue just happened today and I havent had timeto research.
Quick Google revealed references to air injector pump issues in Ford autos ( Fusion, Focuw, etc.)and a site about simila4 issues in Trailblazer and VWs. I remeber the old “smog pumps” on vehicles in the 70s and 80s. Seems like the new version is also more trouble than its worth.
Good luck with that one Tim because most engineers will not tell you is there mistake infact they will just say stuff happens and there isn’t much they can do about and they say go see a tech for the explanation.
I used to be a technician in the automation field and the engineers that I had working above me never had a clue about anything, they would just turn around and tell the customer to talk to me about the problem that they were having.

I had my AIPs replaced in Mazatlan, Mexico in March. Before I had the work done I contacted Toyota Customer Service and received an authorization for them to do the repair. I submitted all the bills, proof of ownership and further explanation to Toyota on April 20, 2013. I have called Toyota Customer Care every week for the past 5 weeks. After speaking with them again today Toyota tells me they will now need a new copy of ownership(?), a statement of cause, condition and remedy.
To me the cause is simple – bad AIPS (otherwise there would be no recall), condition – faulty as declared by an authorized Toyota dealership, remedy – AIPs replaced by an authorized Toyota dealership.
My Tundra is a 2008 SR5 and I like it very much but I am not about to endorse Toyota’s customer satisfaction!!
By the way Toyota has never contacted me – I always had to call them to ascertain the status of my claim.
Thunder Bay Ontario Canada.
My 08 is in the shop as we speak. I got the dashboard lights and the limp mode. Reset it by dissconnectiong the neg terminal on the battery.
I did this three times in a week just to get home from work, when it did it the last time (Tuesday July 9/13)I got it towed to “Wayne Toyota” When I called to explain that my truck was being towed to them for dashboard lights and limp mode she immediatle said “probably air pump” and no cost to me. What a relief…. But they had to order the valves and No rentals were available for me. So its been almost a week and they are “hoping” to have it done monday or tuesday…..
My fear now is that the pumps will fail again one day and leave me stranded in the bush???
Well the “secondary pump and valve system” failed on our truck a a little after a year Toyota supposedly replaced it. Tried to take it back even called Toyota they said that could only be replaced once under the warranty. So I took it home pulled the pump apart and the pump looked new but the switch valves looked like they never been touched. Anyways I ordered the by pass kit and also by passed the switching valves. Truck runs good now.
can anyone tell me if this makes sense? This is what I got from the dealer when I took my truck in to have the AIP fixed.
Mr. Hines,
The TSB-0160-11 – Secondary Air Valve: Causes the CEL to come on. Per TSB, it replaces 2 secondary air valves, 1 secondary air pump, & redesign the inlet to keep water from getting into the system. These parts are located on right side, front of the vehicle.
The issue that you are now having with your vehicle concerns the air injection control driver (which is located on the top left side of the engine compartment), which is full of water and the plug terminals have rotted. To get this corrected, the control driver will need to be replaced and the wires repaired. The total price for this repair (parts/labor) is $489.24.
If you would like to continue forward with the repairs to your vehicle, please call me @ 281-316-4814 or email me.
Thank You
I have a 2007 toyota tundra 4.7L. with 90,000 miles. Check engine light came on as well as 4lo flashing, traction control, and another light. i’ve run a code reader and it’s the same problem as all of you have had. The AIP system. Here’s my problem, it’s not covered because the truck is originally from the US and I live in canada. The customer service experience person says that i would have to “LIMP” it to the states and have it registered in order to get it fixed. There’s is nothing that can be done in Canada. Does anyone know of a way around this. Local dealer doesn’t know of any customer service calls related to this. HELP!!!!
-One very pissed of CANADIAN
UPDATE:
After calming down i called Toyota Canada thinking why i’m i going to listen to some guy in the states telling me there’s nothing they could do. The girl on the phone was amazing. She understood my problem and told me it was ridiculous what the guy from the states had said and she would help get the problem solved. After finding the customer service extension warranty she gave me the service managers number of a very reputable dealership in the city. I contacted him and within an hour he had the parts on order and said everything is covered for my american truck! I’m supposed to bring my truck in next week. Fingers crossed that everything goes the way it’s supposed to. I’ll update again when/if my truck gets fixed.
I also bought my truck in the states and it is a 2009 Tundra, I live in Windsor ON for awhile for work and I never had one bit of a problem with Toyota. When I moved back to Newfoundland for work I did not have a problem with toyota fixing anything with my truck at all under warranty even with the problems on the AIP system and they told me everything was fully warrantied, with in 1 week everything was fixed. As long as it is registered in Canada they have to fix what ever is wrong with the truck especialy if there is a recall and it does not matter if the truck came from the US or Canada. All Tundra’s are made in the US, so if you bought your truck in the US or in Canada the same warranties apply to both countries.
I recently had this repaired after my check engine light came on. The dealer in Des Moines did not mention that this was a known issue that was being covered by Toyota, but led me to believe that the no cost repair was because I bought an extended warranty which I am still protected by. It only matters in that I thought I had a deductible, so I was surprised when they said I did not have to pay anything for the repair. So, maybe I do have a deductible and their deceit might have led to further issues later on if I had a legitimate warranty issue. Either way, I’m just happy that Toyota is standing behind their products and not sticking it to their customers.
2005 GX470, Dealer wants about $4K to replace the AIP. Lexus dealer wont budge on price, they’re salivating for easy-money. No way to know if it is a faulty sensor emitting false-positives, until you simply replace the entire unit. I guess Lexus is really just a Toyota, dressed up to rip off the unwary. Please man-up Toyota, and fix your faulty designed crap!
I had the P2443 code on my ’07 Tundra with 92,xxx miles on it for a stuck air injection pump valve. I took the truck in to my local dealer, they had it for 1 day and replaced both valves, 1 pump, and installed an air inlet tube all under this 10yr/150,000mi warranty with no fuss. This site has been very informative and helpful, thanks for sharing the useful information!

I have a 2006 with 141k and my AIP just started squealing. Has there been an update to the warranty to cover earlier models?
Have the exact same problem with a 2005 Toyota 4Runner SR5 with 119,028 miles. Check engine light, VSC Trac Control, and other lights on. Car runs fine other than reving up extremely loud during starting. The issue in my case is that in Texas you cannot pass state inspection with the check engine light on and you can’t just merely reset the code as the reader for inspection will just pick it up. Called Toyota setup a case #1310172106 and they said there was nothing they can do to help me and thank you for calling. Now I can’t get my car inspected after getting a ticket for an expired inspection due to delaying the repair without having to pay an exorbitant amount of money to make a repair on a faulty Toyota part for the air pump system. Going to get a lawyer involved and write a letter. We’ll see if we get a response after that. Don’t have any other ideas.
I just purchased a new 2013 4Runner SR5 yesterday. After turning off the ignition multiple times today I noticed a loud, quick vacuum noise. What is this noise and is it normal?
just a note to those who continue to have these problems and are still having trouble having this repair covered. When I called Toyota USA, I was very clear that I was a member of this forum, and that I would post the results of their remedy here on the forum. I’m not sure how the administrator or moderators feel about my using the forum for leverage, but in my case, it appears to have worked. With the blessing of the administrator, you might try the same if you continue to have trouble making this claim.
Has anyone had this issue with a 2011 Tundra? Mine is a 2011 4.6L with 87,000 miles on it.
My 2011 tundra had the same problem at less than 3 years old. Cost $2500 and a week to fix. Dealer mechanic said it was the same problem as with earlier models and suggested I contact Toyota for potential reimbursement. I have been trying for 4 weeks to get some resolution with Toyota headquarters. Customer service response has been completely horrible. They have succeeded in turning a long time Toyota fan Into a hater. I’m shocked at how they admit the defective part remains in use but have decided not to do the right thing for anyone after 2010 model.
Thanks a lot for this. Just got everything taken care of. 2007 5.7 with 113,000 miles. Happy it was covered by Toyota
Hello all. I have a 2011 Tundra with 72,000 that was due for an oil change. I took it to the local Toyota dealer on Friday afternoon for the oil change before a long weekend trip. When I go to start my truck on Saturday morning, I experience the dreaded P2440 alarm (Secondary Air injection: Water Intrusion). The truck immediately lost 50% power and I had to limp back to the dealership, just like many people here have described. The dealer initially told me that the extensive valve work was covered by Toyota on a TSB service bulletin. Well my to my surprise, I just got a call from the service department saying that indeed the work is NOT covered by Toyota for the 2011 model and I would have to pay $2,300 to fix. The same manufacturing defect within the Secondary Air Injection System found on the 2010 Tundra is completely covered by Toyota, but not the 2011 model. I cannot afford this unexpected $2,300 bill! Can anyone knowledgeable about this issue please give me some advice?
I BOUGHT A 2005 FORERUNNER NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER(1ST CAR). SAME PROBLEM WITH TUNDRA & SEQUOIA ARE IN ALL TOYOTA BIG TRUCKS.
CALLED TOYOTA CORP …SORRY NO REIMBUSEMENT FOR 2005 YEAR…BUT EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM. $2000.00 FIX.
I WANT MY DAMN MONEY BACK…TOYOTA IF YOU FIX SOME YEARS WHY NOT FIX ALL YEARS…STEP UP AND FIX ISSUE AND REIMBUSE ME FOR
$2000.00…
AIR PUMP SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE A LONG TERM PROBLEM AND NOW I SEE IT FOR 2011 TUNDRAS…
COME ON TOYOTA YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS…STEP UP NOW!
And to add insult to injury, not only am I inconvenienced and put in an unsafe and hazardous driving condition trying to get on a freeway, or while towing, there are no after market alternatives to the 06’leaving me with no choice but to pay the 3k to repair the vehicle with a different most certainly defective OEM secondary air pump. Wow! Legal action seems to be my only remedy. And worse than that for Toyota, a constant and growing discontention in customer satisfaction and loyalty. Really Toyota, was it worth it considering you will lose so many customers and easy repeating business?
Oh yeah, my 06 Tundra only has 79,000 miles and was purchased by me new as my first truck. I am in my mid 30’s and will surely purchase many more throughout my lifetime. I just can’t understand why Toyota will not stand behind their product. Why would I possibly buy another Toyota which I was determined to do until this ludicrous situation came to light?
If anyone needs the set of air injection driver relays. I have a set brand new. email me [email protected]
I have an extra injection pump if anyone may be interested. My truck was wrecked directly on the front end, and the body man had to pull the fenders off, and accidentally broke one of the pumps. I thought I was having this whole defect issue, until my insurance decided to cover it as a supplemental claim, and had it repaired at a dealer. They told me that the air tube had been epoxied back together, and it actually blocked shut. I also have the valves in anyone may be interested in those as well. You can email me at [email protected] if interested.
TOYOTA is very much aware of their air pump system for ALL trucks, forerunners, sequoias, tundras and as far back as 2005 model years and the fix for $2000 plus. AS a matter of fact, there are no after market fixes according to NAPA. You must buy through Toyota the entire air pump system. So, Toyota is much aware of these same problems year after year through 2012 models collecting excessive amounts for the repairs.
Squeeky wheel gets the grease?
What a deceptive and fraudulent company (TOYOTA) to knowingly have a problem with the Air Pump System year after year and not step up and RECALL each and every unit and fix the problem.
No, they would prefer each customer cough up a minimum of $2-3K for the fix. Don’t bother to fix my 2005 Forerunner TOYOTA, and I will no longer BUY TOYOTA products.
It’s that simple!

My husband and I own two tundras. O5 4.7L and 07 5.7L Limited. We just had this issue fixed on the 05 about a month ago (to the tune of about 3K) and now my 07 is showing the same code. I found this forum and I’m not very happy with Toyota right now. Haven’t taken the 07 in yet,so I’m hoping it will be covered. I’m very disappointed that Toyota is not covering this issue in the 05 if it is a known defective part. I have owned Toyotas since 2001 and had always been happy with them, but my loyalty is starting to wane.
Talked to Toyota Customer Care this morning and they said my 08 Tundra with 105k falls under this warranty, and the dealer will be able to fix this issue at no charge. So glad I read this article, saved me 2k!
Has anyone had this happen to them twice? Injection pumps were replaced under extended warranty and now it has happened again. Dealer telling me that it is out of the 1 year warranty and will cost $2,600 to fix. I’m arguing with the dealership that this is a systematic failure that Toyota needs to address but not making any headway. Any suggestions for where to turn?
In January 2011, my wife bought me a new 2011 Tundra at Fiore Toyota in Hollidaysburg, PA . This dealership claims to be the “home of the lifetime warranty”. At that time, we were encouraged to purchase an additional warranty to extend the coverage to electronics and other non-powertrain parts for $918. We took the bite and thought we had done our part to insure the vehicle for the next 72 months- 100,000 miles.
40 months and 26,000 miles later, (just out of manufacturer warranty) the check engine light appeared with loss of power resulting in a tow to the dealership.
It seems the air injection pump had failed and we would need to repair at out of pocket cost of $1745.
The lifetime warranty did not cover this issue…..the extended warranty covered electronics but had a clause eliminating coverage of emissions (not disclosed at time of purchase).
We researched the problem and discovered that Toyota Tundra has had a problem with air injection pumps since 2007! A recall and adjusted warranty was applied to all Tundras for the years 2007 through 2010…..and even though my Vehicle was built in 2010- it was considered a 2011 model and the warranty did NOT apply. My wife, son, and I have purchased 3 new Toyotas in the past 5 years and we are appalled at how the company denies responsibility for the problem they knew existed in their vehicles. Please warn all potential Tundra want-to-be owners to reconsider the purchase until Toyota fixes the problem with the AIP. Looking for an alternate way to fix my tundra.

My husband now has this problem with his 2007 tundra. Actually he has had it for a while and the dealers were not aware of the issue. They told him how to reset the system. Well now we’re screwed because it put him over the 150,000 and Toyota won’t honor. Now we pay over $2,000. Of course we are 9 hours from home with no dealer within 90 miles.
I encourage all with this problem to contact the attorney generals office within their state. We talked to three dealers and none of them were familiar with this problem until we told them that we found it on google. I’m sure Toyota owes a lot of people reimbursements.
This should have been a letter to all customers with the vehicles if not a massive recall.
Has anyone here considered just using a bypass kit – I sell one, as do others. While not designed for street use, since they block operation of the injection system, they do solve the issues with almost all of the codes associated with this system. One heck of a lot less $ than the dealer fix. Won’t work with 2012 mixed fuel, or 2013/2014 engines, as they ECM has updates that the bypass won’t handle. Same goes for any engines that have been taken in recently for this warranty work – the bypass pumps now run at shutdown, which these kits do not bypass. That said, it’s certainly worth considering.
anyone noticed that since toyota came to america to be built they took a serious nose dive in quality? My 1987 4×4 still runs like a top, has no issues, and has 347k miles. My 08 tundra is in the shop constantly,,,and the so called extended warranty is a joke…nothing is honored.
Well everyone, guess what! I first had to have my AIP replaced at 50 K, I just went out to my truck to go buy a coffee and it was in limp mode at 78K miles which pissed me off and I was told by the dealer that it was fixed. Now I have to go back to the dealer and see if the warranty is good for the 150,000 or 10 years that Toyota said they would fix the problem. I read about disconnecting the plugs on the AIP but I also though that when I joined this forum that there was a chip that you could purchase in order to by pass these pumps?? I live in Canada in Newfoundland that is and I was planning on going back to the US but with this problem occurring I have to get the truck fixed first before I go back, any one got answers please let me know.. Rob
Mine 2008 has been sitting at the dealership for 1 month. AIP is back ordered. How long is it taking for others to get the part? They have not estimated date on the part?
I have a problem wiht air injection pump in my tundra.
What I have to do? Because is not normal.
My 2ndary air pump has gone of my 2006 Toyota tundra, Toyota reimburses 2007-2010 but when I called they said there hadn’t been enough complaints about the 2006. Can anyone help.

I have a Toyota Tundra 2010. Today 08/04/14 I experienced the problem described in this forum. I took the vehicle to the dealer. They run a diagnostic test. The results Codes P1605 & P2440. They say: “Need to replace the emission Air Pump assembly along with the valve set and the gasket set for the pump. Estimate for the repair after taxes is $ 2,152.84”. This is from a Toyota dealer located in West Kendall, Miami, Fl. I even had to pay for the diagnostic $ 105.93. They did not mention the warranty on this despite my truck has only 68,200 miles.
Tomorrow I’m going back to the dealer to ask them to honor the Warranty of 150,000 miles or 10 years on these parts. I believe The dealer is not standing behind Toyota commitment. Do anyone believe I’m being reasonable to ask for it or this shouldn’t be honored by Toyota. Any Help or feedback will be appreciated. Thanks
