New Leaf Springs for Everybody!

Just saw this one earlier today.
Think they'll still squeak?

 

Not for everybody... 3rdGens aren't included.


The Toyota Tacoma is being recalled for rust problems yet again, this time with leaf springs on the rear axle that can corrode, snap off, and move enough to puncture the fuel tank or sever the rear brake line.
About 690,000 Tacoma pickups, specifically 4×4 and PreRunner models from 2005–2011

 

Like the 10th thread in this. No where does it say they are replacing springs.

 

WTF is a 3rd gen?

 

what about me

 

A beavis and Scottalot post '11.

 

You'll get nothing, and like it.

 

I had third gen.

 

oh boy im excited

 

Well I've been looking at all of these threads and looked my Vin up and all it says is that there is a recall but no decision of what they ate going to do yet

 

Took mine in with a broken spring out of warranty. They installed new springs at no charge and told me to expect to have the recall completed once the remedy is defined

 

went in and asked. I was told they were inspecting for rust/ cracks and only replacing "if it was necessary" after inspection. I have the 3 spring pack and they told me I wasn't getting new springs because '12 isn't on old TSB and leafs look good, so no new TSB.

 

we are 2.2 gen.... I put Dakars on couple years back after snapping a leaf, so I get notting

 

Hate to break it to you but 3rd gens aren't out yet. 05-15 is 2nd gen at this point.

 

I'd love to know what the difference is between a 2011 2+1 non-TSB leaf pack and what appears to be the same pack on my 2013, which is not covered on this.

 

I guess you didn't sense their sarcasm.

 

Spaulding get your foot off the boat!!!

 

I'm going to guess that they either switched manufacturers, or changed the manufacturing process, so they don't think the springs after '11 will break.

 

is there a place to see if you VIN is included?

 

Curious on the actual recall fix but what if you came to pick up your truck after the fix and it looks like a 5 lugger ? (No offense to 5 lug owners)

"About 690,000 Tacoma pickups, specifically 4×4 and PreRunner models from 2005–2011, have leaf springs installed above the rear axle rather than below it, and they can fail due to “stress or corrosion.”
