4th Gen Tacoma Grille Shutter Malfunction Check Engine Light

Just curious if anyone else has noticed or heard of this issue. I got my TRD Off-Road on June 1st. I went to my suspension shop on 6/14 to get the Westcott pre-load collar installed. My mechanic called me back to his shop 30 mins later to show me that the passenger side CV Boot had failed and the truck was flinging grease everywhere. I took it to my closest dealer here in San Diego and they agreed the boot had failed. They ordered the part and said it would be in within 2 days. The 2nd date push moved the ETA to 6/25, the 3rd date push was to 7/03, and the 4th date push moved the ETA to 7/15. As of today 7/16, the service department told me now Toyota has told them the CV Boot Kit would arrive sometime in December of 2024. Has anyone else heard of this issue coming up?

Soooooo, I just took my new Tacoma to the dealer for a check engine light that came on for the grille shutter malfunctioning, along with several other warnings on the dash. I took a photo of all the warnings that came on. My dealer has ordered I believe a whole new grille shutter assembly to fix it. I will keep you all updated on the fix, hopefully in the next week or so when the part comes in. The good news is that the vehicle was totally drivable. It just randomly came on.
