**TOYOTA**
Welding debris on rear axle assembly could cause part to separate, increasing risk of crash.
PLANO, Texas (Feb. 27, 2024) –Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain MY22 to MY23 Toyota Tacoma trucks in the U.S. Approximately 381,000 vehicles are involved in this recall.
Welding debris left on the ends of the rear axle assembly during manufacturing could cause certain retaining nuts to loosen over time and eventually fall off, potentially causing a part to separate from the axle. If separation occurs, this can affect vehicle stability and brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will inspect the rear axle assembly and retighten the axle retaining nuts at no cost to customers. If axle components are damaged as a result of this condition, they will be repaired or replaced, if necessary, based on inspection criteria.
Customers will be notified about this issue through the mail by late April 2024.
Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is current as of today’s filing date and is subject to change thereafter. To see if your vehicle is involved in a safety recall visit Toyota.com/recall or nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate information.
For any additional questions, Toyota customer support is also available by calling the Toyota Brand Engagement Center (1-800-331-4331) for Toyota vehicles.
