In september 2014 a recall was announced on my style 2009 toyota tacoma pick up because the rear leaf springs could corrode and break. On november 14, 2014, I received a recall notice letter from toyota that my vehicle was being recalled due to this issue. I have contacted toyota manufacturing company on numerous occasions only to be told "we are working on it" (replacing the springs). That is the only answer I have ever received. Even their website states "we are working on it". I want to know when these springs will be replaced on my vehicle!!!
There was a recall last 9/2014 and to this date it has not been fixed.

Toyota is not addressing the tacoma rear leaf spring safety recall in a reasonable time. I was notified of the leaf spring recall in the fall of 2014. In march of 2015 I took my 2009 tacoma to the dealer to investigate excessive noise coming from the rear of the truck. Dealer service department determined that one of the leaf springs had fractured and needed to be replaced per the safety recall. Dealer ordered the replacement springs but was unable to provide a time when they would be available so the repair could be completed. After nearly a month, still waiting for parts. Calls to both the dealer and toyota corporate to find out when the parts would be available have been fruitless. Both state that the replacement leaf springs are unavailable and will not provide a date when they will be available. Given the length of time that toyota has known about this safety issue, I find that this is lack of repair parts and addressing this safety issue is unacceptable especially for owners such as myself who are known to have fractured leaf springs. Recommend that the federal safety agency investigate with toyota as to why this safety recall is not being addressed in a prompt manner.

2009 toyota tacoma. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle passenger leaf spring cracked. *smd the consumer stated the dealer did not follow through with the terms of the recall and only replaced the passenger leaf spring, when the driver side should have been replaced as well. Since the driver's side was not replaced, it left the vehicle sitting in an awkward manner. The dealer claimed the would replace the driver side leaf spring. However, they only made the problem worse.
What has happened to recall number 14v604? It's been in the system now for 6 months.

Approx. 6 months ago I received a letter from toyota that the rear leaf spring was defective. I got the letter after the leaf in my tacoma had broke and replaced. The letter states I'm supposed to get reimbursed for my expense but as of today I haven't received the instructions how.
