Toyota dealers will first install temporary protective materials and a clamp on the fuel tube at no cost to customers. Once the final remedy parts are available, fuel tubes with an improved part and additional clamps will be replaced.
Affected Tundra owners will be notified about the issue by early October, Toyota said.
