POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturer (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Tacoma vehicles. The axle shaft sub-assembly may separate from the axle housing due to debris causing improperly secured fasteners.
- What it can cause
- Axle shaft separation can cause a loss of vehicle stability and brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the rear axle assembly, tighten the axle retaining nuts as necessary, and repair or replace any damaged components, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 17, 2024. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24TB05 and 24TA05.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 381,199 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 97% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the power train 18 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V125000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 109 complaints with NHTSA, 31 of them before this campaign was filed. 17 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 25V040000 (steering), 23V480000 (steering), 22V520000 (child seat), 22V310000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on February 27, 2024 as campaign 24V152000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
