Toyota Tacoma Leaf Spring Recall – What Is It
The rear suspension of the Pre-Runner and Tacoma use leaf springs constructed of either three or four leafs (flat metal bars made from spring steel). Due to a defect in manufacturing, a fracture of one or more springs could occur. If this happens, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components, including the fuel tank. Sticking a leaf spring through your gas tank is always a bad thing and thus, the recall to replace the springs with ones that will not break.

 

You got us by 6 degrees but we got a little more humidity.

 

Thank you sir

 

It's 95º here.

 

Only goin to be 96 in SoCal today.

 

Been meaning to take care of this

 

Where do Seagulls come from?
Anybody ever see a baby seagull?

 

I’m glade I don’t have to wait at the dealer for hours while they work on the truck.

 

Man, you'd think with ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the years of metallurgy and centuries of refining and shaping metal, that the JAPANESE of all cultures would understand how to make spring steel from the beginning so they wouldnt have to do recalls.


This is the silliest thing to me.




For the record, the same goes for frames. Jesus....how does Toyota still have frame rust issues. ITS FUCKING 2020. METAL RUSTS WHEN NOT PROPERLY COATED, FORMED, SEALED, OR DRAINED.


Like, wtf?



Now, if Toyota was still selling their products for way under what the big three are charging for similar platforms....then, by all means....rust away.

A new Tacoma costs as much as a full size offering from the big 3.




Get outta here.

 

Just had to get some post-construction photos, permit compliance submittal.. blah .. blah

 

I thought this is because they are still using Daisin(?) for the frames and they don't want to switch or make Daisin(?) change metallurgy/coating practices?

 

Luckily here in Socal rust is not an issue. The difference between the big 3 and a Tacoma is the Taco will still be worth $20K after 10 years. The big 3, not even close.

 

I’ve had mine replaced under warranty

 

look close if your on a phone

 

If the mullet were an automotive audio component, it would be a Sparkomatic cassette deck with the volume knob missing.


Discuss.

 

showoff
