    New guy here; does anyone know if the 2013 Tac was included in the leaf spring recall?
    Got a squeaky one here! Thanks

    I have a 2013 as well where the springs sit almost flat or even a little bowed upwards (center above the ends of leaf ends) so I’d be curious if it is included in the recall. This is with no load on the truck, are you supposed to see a more U shaped curve on the spring?

    2013 trucks were included in a driveline vibration TSB. have em replace the springs under that and make sure you get a 3+1 leaf pack.

    A TSB is a service bulletin to aid in repair of common issues. You can't "have them" do anything other than repair the vehicle at your expense if out of warranty. You don't walk in with a TSB printed and ask for it to be done.

    I bought the truck as a Toyota certified vehicle in July 2017 and it came with a 3 year warranty because it was certified.
