    Has anyone else seen this? Truck is only a month or so old and we just noticed it, the bumper is crooked. It has not been hit or anything. Are these adjustable in some way?

    Very common problem. I straightened mine but, you might have to buy a new bumper pad as you can break the clips pulling it off.

    I do believe that there’s several threads on this. I straightened mine but broke a sensor while doing it. Dealership charged me the cost of the sensor which was around 200 but 40 to install. Go through any dealership lot and probably 60% will be misaligned to some extent.

    I'd take it to the dealer and try to get it fixed via your warranty. That's lousy. Looks like something from an 80s GM product.

    Mine has this too. Will a dealer fix this under warranty?

    I would hope so. I've driven a lot of Hondas and Honda would definitely cover this under warranty.

    It’s worth a try. I read of some owners on this site getting the dealer to do it. You might get lucky as it’s so obvious.

    Don’t mess with it in case you want to deal with broken tabs. If there’s no marks on it, then it’s a warranty issue.

    Mine is the exact same but I think someone hit it in a parking lot, there’s a deep scratch in it. It’s non painted black plastic so I don’t really care.

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    So far at the dealer, I’ve noticed any Tacoma made in Baja California (Mexico) has this problem.

    Same on mine. I had the dealer look at it. They said there is no way to adjust the bumper fit. If anyone knows what needs to be done speak up so I can tell the tech how to do it when I go in for my first service.

    Everyone has it a little, but that's the worst I've seen it.

    Noticed the blue plastic trim on the left is not seated properly as compared to the right.

    My bumper is exactly the same as the blue just misaligned on opposite side. What was the outcome with the dealer repair?
