Toyota recalls 2024-2025 Tacoma and 2024 Tacoma Hybrid over shock absorber problem (48,280 vehicles)

What is wrong

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.

Why it matters

An oil reservoir that detaches can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect and replace the front and rear shock absorber assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed September 30, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated in March 2027. This is a phased recall. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1‑800‑331‑4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26TB14 and 26TA14.

Before this, owners of these vehicles had already filed 14 complaints in the suspension category.
