    How's it going everyone? I did some searching and couldn't find any info about Technical Service Bulletins on newer Tacomas. Is this something I need to call my dealership and inquire, or is there somewhere to find a list? Thanks.

    TSBs are not recalls.
    They are not to be done automatically.
    A TSB is simply a Technical Service Bulletin that disperses information to Toyota service departments indicating that "If a customer complains about 'this', then here is the repair"

    If you have a complaint about your truck, take it to the dealer.
    If you do not, then the TBS would not be performed.

    Thanks again Rich. So it's not like a free upgrade like a recall. It is merely common flaws with Tacomas so mechanics know what to do. I don't have any complaints with my 2013, except the vibration when accelerating hard from a stop like most people, and my tailgate creases. I don't really want to bring it in for them to look at the driveline. The less times your truck gets pulled apart and test driven by yahoos the better.

    Bingo.

    There are some issues like the leaf springs and driveline vibration that will (eventually) impact nearly every truck, and for those, it's worth taking a look at.
    TSB are covered under your normal warranty, so as long as you're under your original 3/36, you're good.

    6 months or so before your warranty is done, it's not a bad idea to run through everything.
