All it took was 600 mi to get the check engine light on

The shutter issue may be an easy fix you could possibly solve yourself. Remove any debris/mud/lodged pebble from the shutter assembly and that particular code should clear itself.

I recently had this same issue and simply washed my truck focusing on the front and never did take it in to the dealer. The check engine light cleared itself and hasn't appeared again since.

I plan on waiting for the hybrid TRD Off-road and hopefully these issues will be resolved by then

Hopefully it clears, I did find someone on reddit with the same issue. When he got it back from the dealer, they told him the sensor was already corroded and had to be replaced.

Was your truck ever on QC hold? That’s apparently the reason why some are stuck, and would be interesting data if it was or not.

OP, this is terrible news, but thanks for sharing it. This and the other threads have convinced me to pick up a low mileage used 2023. Hopefully the used car market doesn't tank and next year I will take another look at the 2024 or 2025. Maybe by then Toyota will have the bugs ironed out...

Disappointed.

600 mi and the check engine light came on, really not pleased. I'll be going to the dealership Monday I'll give enough date as to what they tell me

Looks like this shutter system going to give problems.........hopefully it's just a loose connection again. Hate to see this though with only 600 miles.... looks like us early adopters are the real world testers for sure!

My buddy's 23 Gladiator had sensor malfunctions after crawling and hitting some trails. It not being a beta year for the Gladiator means you should NEVER buy the 4th gen tacoma and forever stick with the 3rd gen.

Stay safe out there, there's a lot of risks !

This is rumored to be the big QC hold on units at the ports. Something was up with the harnesses and they are all corroded so they are getting replaced.

Mine came in yesterday and it was a QC hold truck. I pick it up next week so we'll see....
Initial test drive was sweet though. It'll be great to be back in a truck again.

The day it was delivered was the day I picked it up, as far as I'm aware it was never on hold

Good deal, I imagine the harness got swapped then. Congrats! At this rate, my Trailhunter will be October!

I imagine the anticipation is killing you.

Ya I heard this rumor as well. I bought my OR premium on Feb 10th. I have had it in whiteout snow for close to 200 miles, torrential down pours for 150 miles and 80 miles of off road in Monongahela National Forest. Over 2k miles and it’s been flawless. With that said I don’t do automatic car washes. I just hose it off and hand wash at home.

I’m really hoping I’m going to avoid this issue as I’ve have so far, but pretty scary cause I go off the grid quite a lot. Hopefully a recall will happen soon if the harness is truly the case.

Curious as to why they are making you wait to pick yours up, do you think your dealer will perform the harness swap instead of them doing it

It came in late yesterday, so it wasn't ready to pick up. No issues, that I'm aware of. We also have to get a few things in order on our end too.

I got mine last week. I have driven it in the rain since but nothing like your ventures. So far so good. Do you think ours got through before the hold or were part of the hold but got fixed and released early in the harness change? My door jam says 1/24 build date.

I had the same issue, after about 150 miles. The dealer told me the grill shutter connection was wet, implying that it was not properly connected when manufactured. He also speculated that this may be a wider problem with the way they are sealing these connections. He dried the connection, then sealed with marine sealant and the codes cleared. I have driven another couple hundred miles and so far so good.
