    Whoever designed and built my truck did a good job. I’m really happy with it.

    I’ve had a problem with the parking brake cable, and had a pixel die on my touch screen, but both of those problems were addressed. I think the truck is really nicely assembled, and so far has been a great vehicle to own.

    What do you classify these as?

    Summary
    Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Tacoma vehicles manufactured July 1, 2013, through October 11, 2013. The engines of the affected vehicles contain valve springs that may break over time.

    Consequence
    If the valve springs break, the engine could fail and stall while the vehicle is being driven, increasing the risk of a crash.

    What Owners Should Do
    Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the valve springs, free of charge. The recall began on November 27, 2013. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.



    Summary
    TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA PICKUP TRUCKS. THE PROPELLER SHAFT MAY DEVELOP CRACKS DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. OVER TIME, THE CRACKS MAY EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE SEPARATION OF THE PROPELLER SHAFT.

    Consequence
    THIS MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

    What Owners Should Do
    DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE FRONT PROPELLER SHAFT ON AFFECTED VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.



    Summary
    Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner and 4x4 vehicles manufactured September 14, 2009, to October 11, 2010. In the affected vehicles, one of the leaf springs may fracture due to stress or corrosion. While being driven, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components including the fuel tank, possibly puncturing the tank and causing a fuel leak.

    Consequence
    If the fuel tank leaks fuel from being punctured, there is an increased risk of a fire.

    What Owners Should Do
    Toyota will notify owners and dealers will install new rear leaf spring assemblies. The recall began on January 29, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

    Different parts supplier. The issue is with master cylinders from a specific one. Not all trucks built within the recall production time are affected.

    So yours is a sport, I checked mine and it doesn’t have any recalls, it’s an OR. Which we know has a different brake system. Can you tell if your recall is for this issue, or something else? Toyota says they are not notifying owners until January, I would think that includes through the app as well.

    It will be taken care of, don't worry too much. At least they are aware and taking action. I am on the list and this was my odometer reading when I got home last night.

    Yeah probably.
    I'd rather see it eight times than see eight posts of people having accidents or worse because a part failed them and they didn't know about a potential problem that existed.
    **not saying anything has or even will happen but just in case**

    Really?! Interesting. I buy a Toyota expecting it’s designed by the Japanese. I could see getting input from ToA, but not managing the whole design.
