Recalls on 3rd Gen

Has anybody heard of any recalls on the 3rd Gen Tacoma’s

 

If you look on Google. Type in "Tacoma recall vin search" Type in your vin. It will tell you if you have any recalls that need to be done

 

Seriously?
search tool would help you with this one.

There have been at least two large ones. An engine sensor with too much goop or something on it and then differential leaks.

 

Transmission reflash to change the shift points and hunting for gears.

 

Visit Toyota.com and at the bottom of their home page there's a link to the recall page. Just ran my 2017 Tacoma and 2016 4Runner found no recalls.

 

None whatsoever.

 

when your taco has one Toyota will send you a notice by mail then you can set up an appointment to get check out mine only had 1 recall and it was just a sensor so far no other recalls come up my taco 2 years old and 15K

 

Your dealer will check for recalls when you bring in for regular maintenance appointments. They get paid to perform the recall ser v ice.

 

You will find more Technical Service Bulletins than recalls. If your Taco is recalled you will receive a letter from Toyota, TSB do not trigger a notification and at lots of dealerships the service department won’t inform you of them. Before you go in, check for any applicable ones and ask them to perform them.

 

Yes.

 

the guy is new... give him a break.

 

That would be nice...

 

Transmission reflash is a TSB not a recall, there's a difference.

Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) provides recommendations / solutions to correct a symptom, they are not mandatory for all vehicles so you really can't demand a dealer perform a TSB unless you can show your truck demonstrates the deficiency.

A recall is mandatory replacement / repair regardless of whether the vehicle exhibits any symptoms, usually categorized by VIN or model years distinguishing what vehicles are affected.

 

Cowl Ice - that's a new one for me. I also imagine they build a lot of pollen in the spring.

 

Is there a good site that shows all tsb's and how to fix them?

 

This one.

Search for your issue and if there is a TSB it will pop up. They usually include PDF instructions.

A lot of them are already "stickied" up top.

Make sure you get all the TSBs checked... there are a lot and some fix some really annoying issues. One of those was low transmission fluid (which I had) and had to pull teeth to get the dealership to check it out.

 

There are a ton at the top of the 3rd gen forum: https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/3rd-gen-tacomas-2016.186/

 

OK, I didn't know that, our service department will perform every campaign because they get paid for it. I didn't know about the tranny issue and was told about it on my 1st service. Thanks for the correction though, learn something new everyday! Cheers

 

What were the symptoms of low tranny fluid?
