Steering column shift bracket broke in 3 places when trying to shift from park to drive, making shifting impossible. See pictures from 2 of 3 fracture locations, 3rd fracture is at an attachment screw (not shown). This is cause by an underdesigned part made of inferior cast aluminum. There are thousands of reports of this problem on Tundra and other Toyota models with same defective bracket. This dangerous defect must be recalled and fixed by Toyota with a redesigned part.
