Safety Recall - J06 Master Cylinder Brake Assy

It didn’t really make a noise. It was more of a feeling of the brake pedal and loss of brakes. I guess there is a somewhat click with the brake pedal when you press it and it got louder if you want to say that. But it’s more the other than the ladder.

 

if this works you should be able to play this video clip of my truck starting, you can hear the noise just after it starts (it's a link to OneDrive) https://1drv.ms/v/s!AuyQ49ujYBeKjnzB7uKBgcwqmzLG

 

Yeah my truck didn’t have that noise. That may be something different. I know that’s not what you want to hear.

 

This is what is described in the recall letter. It “may become damaged over time” and then “front brake performance could be suddenly reduced.”

Got my notice in the mail today.



The letter says it should take about 90 minutes, YMMV. It says to schedule an appointment immediately (in bold) and it’s free of charge.

 

Yeah. That is exactly what happens. In a nutshell!!!! It also states that there is an internal leak so if you look for a leak you may not see it. My cousin and I looked multiple times for leaks on my truck but could never see any.

 

well hopefully it's not as bad as a master cylinder! I'm having trouble convincing the dealership it needs looking at, they like to tell me it just "does that" thanks for having a listen

 

My local dealer completed the recall service on my Tacoma today.

 

Of course. I wish I could have helped more. Yeah dealerships tend to do that. Yeah the master cylinder is quite the pocket pincher for those that don’t get it taken care of with the recall. That’s for sure.

 

You had to pay?

 

No. It’s covered under warranty.

 

Ok. I was going to say it should be. Just didn’t know because that say balance due

 

Do you know if you have a Texas plant truck or Baja California?

 

Correction: Tijuana, Baja, California, Mexico

 

I didn't think any Off Road or Pro's were on the recall list because we have a different style booster/mc combo for A-TRAC & Crawl Control. Seeing that your truck is 2 wheel drive I assume your truck has a Traditional Style Vacuum Booster and MC instead?

 

Thank you for the link to recall

 

I’m not sure which version it has.

 

My 18 TRD Sport DCSB out of Baja California is not on the list

 

Here is a 1st Gen Tacoma, the black circular disc that the MC is attached to is a traditional style vacuum booster.

 

I’ll check once I get home and let you know.
