    Vehicle:
    2008 Tacoma V6 PreRunner SR5 Extended Double Cab Desert Sand Mica
    Installed Overhead Compass and Temperature Display along with outside temperature sensor and wiring; LED lights reverse backup; LED license plate lights; Added GTA Bluetooth Audio kit to stock radio for iphone audio; Spare tire steel braided air hose extension connection to rear bumper; Installed new headlights along with new bulbs PIAA H4 XTreme and for fog lights PIAA H10 XTreme bulbs. Installed new hood with "hood-scoop". Installed Predator Side Steps. Replaced front chrome grill with customized color matched (Desert Sand Mica) grill with added TOYOTA lettering (also in matched color), installed and secured tailgate anti-theft devices. Also installed a new external TPMS monitor for all 4 tires.
    I just had the leaf springs changed, Thursday of last week, on my 2008 Tacoma (6 cyl.) due to recall notice that I received.
    I just re-read the notice and it states years 2005-2011 only. Nothing about 6 or 4 cylinder engines?

    Did you receive a recall notice for your year Tacoma?....Don't remember?

    I strongly suggest then that you check the Tacoma Recall notice website for a definite answer for your year Tacoma?
