SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2024 Tacoma Hybrid and 2024-2025 Tacoma vehicles. The metal flange on the front and rear shock absorbers may corrode and fail, resulting in detachment of the external oil reservoir.
- What it can cause
- An oil reservoir that detaches can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the front and rear shock absorber assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 21, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26TB14 and 26TA14.
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 48,280 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, 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 suspension 15 times before this, most recently in May 2020 as 20V286000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 230 complaints with NHTSA, 204 of them before this campaign was filed. 13 of those name the suspension, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2024, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V571000 (equipment), 26V179000 (equipment), 25V656000 (power train), 25V595000 (electrical system).
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 August 6, 2026 as campaign 26V514000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
