    Toyota has found a malfunction in the fuel pump with could cause your truck to catch fire while parked due to a short in the pump. There have been a few cases that have been reported of a spark in the fuel pump which causes fuel ignition. So Toyota has decided to do a recall on all Tacomas in this range. REports also indicate that today is April fools day and you may or may not have been fooled by this...
