Need your vin ran for diff recall ?

You are correct, but if you understood the amount of frustration that taking my Taco to my crappy dealership for another issue is causing me, you would then see what I am not exactly "happy" about this.

 

Basically mid August 2015- late March 2017 production. If it's not leaking they'll recheck the nuts. If it's leaking they'll replace the gasket and fluids. If it's too bad they're going to replace the carrier.

 

I did not expect a real answer as my question was borderline rhetorical. But thanks for that insight, I have zero connections with the industry so I would have never guessed.

 

They won't send out notices till mid June I think.

 

I'd just go ahead and do the 10k service... you're not far from it and I would think changing the oil a bit early would not hurt it. Yeah, you're rotating your tires a bit early, but so what. If you have it in there, might as well make decent use of the lost time.

 

I hope this is also in Canada.

 

Actually, unless something changed in only the last few years, they use air torque guns on the main lines. So, if one of those was not checked up correctly or some guy pulled the gun off the bolt before it finished, it would not register to anyone that something was wrong. I've been through Georgetown, Princeton, Smyrna, and Canton... nothing fancy.

Side note... that rear end would have probably been a sub-assembly from a supplier, so you would have to go down stream to find that and they are not always the greatest either. Did I ever mention when I worked at a Toyota supplier and we "certified" that we found and corrected all the faulty brake master cylinders?

 

2016 Sport 4x4 on the list, build date 12/15.

 

Mine is on the recall list, (canada) ordered in october 2015 trd sport auto.

Toyota.ca/recall @Joe23

 

It's hitting the news everywhere now

 

@Joe23 Check here..... https://www.toyota.ca/toyota/en/my-toyota/recalls

Mine is on the shit list.

 

Well tech confirmed im on the list and truck is going in tues to get recall performed

 

I'm surprised yours is.
I just called and checked there. Mine isn't yet but toyota canada just told me on the phone the recall is only a few hours old and they do not know yet which ones are effected. Maybe its a definite for all the 2015 build date ones. But not sure for 2016 yet. Mine was built Dec 2016

 

Where is @Stonewalltaco

 

do you have the howl as well?
And let us know what they do.
I haven't been able to confirm whether or not I have the howl.
If the howl is caused by damage because of low oil, kind of sucks that they won't just replace them.

 

No issues what so ever beyond small seepage, its been an awesome truck and drives great. 2016 AC 2.7 auto 4x2 SR

 

Thing is if its leaking due to be over tightened would they not need to replace the whole gasket?

 

My coworker had a full blown leak which was puddling under our parking spot we use at work on his 2016 DC SR 4x4 V6, they refilled and re torqued his diff a few months ago

 

@Joe23 My build date was April 2016. Anyhow, this is what I'm seeing on the site when I enter my VIN.

 

TRD 2017 Off Road build date 08/16 Mexico does not seem to be on the list
