What owners wrote
While operating my 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro under normal conditions, I started the vehicle and activated standard factory equipment including the seat heaters and window/mirror defrosters. Shortly thereafter, I noticed a slight acrid odor inside the vehicle, which quickly became more pronounced. I drove approximately 200 feet, and immediately returned to my driveway. Upon shutting the vehicle down, I observed smoke coming from the engine compartment.

The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. While driving, there was a loud clucking sound detected, and the engine seized. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V381000 (Engine and Engine Cooling).
