Stalling on other Tundra years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2016, 2018, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Stalling reports are some of the most alarming on the site. The engine quits while the car is moving, sometimes on a highway and sometimes at a stop. Many owners say it restarted right away and the dealer found no stored code, which is part of why these complaints pile up before anything gets fixed.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the engine (9 reports) and the throttle body (3 reports).
Recalls and investigations
8 recalls on the engine cover the 2022 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
Debris from the manufacturing process may contaminate the engine and cause the main bearings to fail, which can result in an engine stall and loss of drive power.
Debris from the manufacturing process may contaminate the engine and cause the main bearings to fail, which can result in an engine stall and loss of drive power.
Unexpected vehicle movement may occur when the vehicle is in neutral and the brakes are not applied.
The plastic fuel tube routed near metallic brake lines may chafe against the brake lines and become damaged, possibly resulting in a fuel leak.
A software error in the combination meter's electronic control unit (ECU) may cause the Instrument Panel LCD display to go blank.
Incorrect programming of the parking-assist electronic control unit (ECU) software, may cause the front camera image to appear on the multimedia display instead of the rear camera image when the shifter is placed into reverse.
The flange nuts on the axle shaft sub-assemblies can loosen over time and potentially cause one or both axle shaft sub-assemblies to separate from the axle housing.
The parking assist electronic control unit (ECU) software may prevent transmission of the rearview camera signal during cold weather, preventing the rearview image from displaying.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2022 Toyota Tundra that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
DP: Due to incorrect programing of the software in the engine ECU, in the event the accelerator pedal is forcefully depressed and immediately followed by aggressive braking, there is a possibility the vehicle may stall at low speeds.
What owners wrote
“Was driving at 55 mph on a side road and started to notice pulsing/mechanical noises from the engine. After 3 minutes the Check Engine Light came on with a warning 'Take Vehicle to Dealership' and a few seconds later the engine shut off in Drive at 55 mph. Lost power steering and coasted to a neighborhood to be towed. Was not able to restart the vehicle.”

“Engine completely shut off on me while I was driving on the highway. I barely had enough time to pull off the highway. After restarting the engine it had a knock. Had it towed to the dealership and it needed to have the engine rebuilt. I pursued Texas lemon law since they had my vehicle for over 90 days waiting on the repair.”
Filed Jan 7, 2024
“On at least six occasions I have experienced a stall when the vehicle is in motion. The vehicle reports that I need to stop, shift into park and restart the vehicle. It seems to occur mainly when I am slowing down for a stop sign.”
Filed Jan 2, 2023
“Throttle lag - When attempting to accelerate from near or complete stop vehicle will accelerate for a split second and then act as if it is stalling causing a dangerous situation. It has put me in a position where pulling out into traffic i'm left for 2-3 seconds with no throttle response.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 63 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
