2023 Tundra - Wheel Center Caps Mysteriously Disappear

Hi All,

I have a '23 Tundra and my wheel center caps have been disappearing. The 1st time it happened was about 3 months ago, and I chalked it up to someone stealing it(for whatever bs reason, but it's odd for someone to steal a generic center cap). I left it as is until I needed to take my Tundra in on 12/26/2023 to sort through some recalls and to get my 2nd key + programming. While I was there, I reluctantly had them order a new center cap (but wow - 60 bux including shipping...that pricing is "stealership" on a whole other level for 1 center cap). Fast forward to today (1/20/2023), I noticed my rear passenger center cap is now missing.

Now I don't think this was someone stealing my center cap, I'm thinking this is a Toyota problem. That all said, has anyone experienced the same issue?

 

No

 

My rear tire, with a missing center cap.

 

Yep

 

Guys are stealing these to make jewellery. Who wouldn't want to wear a Toyota center cap as a necklace??

Like this:

 

I had a 2022 SR5 Tundra Off Road for two years never lost a center. I traded for a 2024 SR5 with same Off Road package, same wheels. I have lost three centers in seven months. Seem to be a problem, I have not spoken to Toyota but something wrong. Thanks

 

very COMMON with the 22-24 Tundra Alum wheel center cap, they updated the PART # as well... 42603-0C120 is now a 42603-0C121...

 

Which cap do you have? The ones that look like this, come off easily.

I replaced mine with these, and they fit much much tighter.

The TOP photo is the center cap that fits loosely (42603-0C120), the "updated" cap 42603-0C121 seems to fit better, they look the same with the T logo

 

Mine has the oc121 and they came off as well.

 

21K miles, much of them on rough dirt roads, and mine are all still in place.

 

That is a different wheel than the SR5 Off Road wheel.
