EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: THIS RECALL IS FOR TRAILER TOWING WIRE HARNESS CONVERTERS INSTALLED BY DEALERS OR FOR INSTALLATION ON 1999-2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND TACOMA VEHICLES. THE CONNECTORS INTEGRATE THE VEHICLE'S TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS WITH THOSE EQUIPPED ON THE TRAILER, ARE DEFECTIVE. AFFECTED PART NUMBERS ARE: PT207-34000, PT207-34002, PT207-04981, AND PT214-04985. IN THE TUNDRA VEHICLES, THE CIRCUITRY UTILIZED IN THE CONVERTER WAS INADEQUATE TO PROPERLY MANAGE VEHICLE AND/OR TRAILER-SIDE VOLTAGE SPIKES. IF THE CONVERTER IS EXPOSED TO A VOLTAGE SPIKE, IT MAY CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OR OPEN CIRCUIT WITHIN THE CONVERTER. IN THE TACOMA VEHICLES, DUE TO DEFICIENT WATERPROOFING AND IMPROPER INSTALLATION LOCATION OF THE CONVERTER, WHICH IS MOUNTED IN THE LOWER PORTION OF THE TAILGATE CAVITY OF THE VEHICLE, AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT WILL OCCUR IF WATER ENTERS THE CONVERTER HOUSING.
AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OR OPEN CIRCUIT CAN CAUSE A FAULT IN THE CONVERTER AND A NON-OPERATIONAL CONDITION OF THE TRAILER LIGHTS. IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN WITHOUT TRAILER LIGHTS, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO SEE THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL NOTIFY THE CUSTOMERS AND INSTALL A REDESIGNED TRAILER TOWING WIRE HARNESS CONVERTER FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 27, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

MY 2000 TOYOTA TACOMA HAS "EXTENSIVE" RUST DAMAGE TO ITS FRAME AND SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN KANSAS AND HAS SINCE MOVED WITH ME DOWN TO GEORGIA. I NOTICED ON THE WEB THAT THE RUST ON THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK IS A COMMON CONCERN/DEFECT FROM TOYOTA. I AM INQUIRING TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS AND HOW I SHOULD GO ABOUT TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED. THE ENGINE AND ALL OF THE VITAL COMPONENTS WORK FINE, IT SEEMS A SHAME TO GET RID OF A VEHICLE THAT IS STILL IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION, OTHER THAN THE RUST PROBLEM THAT IS. *TR

Suspension, Power train, Service brakes, Jul 10, 2012
MY LEAF SPRINGS ARE BROKEN AND NOT REPLACEABLE DUE TO RUSTED CASTERS ATTACHING TO A RUSTED FRAME. CORPORATE TOYOTA TELLS ME I CAN HAVE IT FIXED BUT EVERY DEALER TELLS ME THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TOYOTA RUST CAMPAIGN. I HAVE FOUND LITERATURE ONLINE THAT INCLUDES MY VIN BUT NO DEALERS WILL HELP ME. I JUST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR FOR 7500 AND AM NOW OUT 7500. *TR

FRAME RUST PERFORATION PER TOYOTA 1995 THROUGH 2000 TOYOTA FRAME RUST CORROSION PERFORATION WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT (CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM) WAS CONDUCTED ON MY TRUCK LAST YEAR (SEPTEMBER 2010). THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP INSPECTED AND SAID IT WAS OK. TODAY THEY CONDUCTED ANOTHER FRAME INSPECTION AND SAID THE FRAME WAS PERFORATED AND WOULD NOT PASS THE SAFETY INSPECTION. I ASKED TO SEE A DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE FRAME DAMAGE AND WAS TOLD NONE WERE AVAILABLE. NO OFFER WAS MADE TO PUT THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT FOR ME TO SEE FOR MYSELF. I DROVE HOME VERY CAREFULLY, PULLED THE TRUCK IN THE GARAGE AND HAD A LOOK, DOES NOT LOOK SAFE TO ME. APPEARS THE LEFT FRONT REAR AXLE LEAF SPRING MOUNT / CHASSIS FRAME COULD FAIL CAUSING THE AXLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. PERHAPS THIS IS MORE SERIOUS THAN A "CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM"! *TR
Suspension, Structure, Dec 16, 2010
LAST SUMMER, 2009, NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES, WHICH WERE ONLY A YEAR OLD, SEEMED TO NOT BE OPERATING EFFICIENTLY. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE I DISCOVERED GEAR OIL HAD BEEN COMING OUT OF THE REAR AXLE, SPRAYING ALL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES AND TIRE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AXEL SEAL AND RUINED BRAKE SHOES. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TOYOTA CERTIFIED USED IN DECEMBER OF 2003. RECENTLY IN 2010 I NOTICED THAT MY FRAME APPEARED AS THOUGH IT HAD A LOT OF DIRT ON IT, SO I TRIED TO SPRAY IT OFF WITH A HIGH POWERED WASHER, IT TURNED OUT TO B RUST NOT DIRT. I RECENTLY MOVED TO CALIFORNIA AND I AM STILL SETTLING IN, WHEN I HEAR A LOUD BANGING SOUND COMING FROM SOMEWHERE UNDER MY TRUCK. I WONDERED IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RUST SO I TYPED IN RUST AND TOYOTA ON GOOGLE AND DISCOVERED A CUSTOMER WARRANTY PROGRAM ISSUED BY TOYOTA ON 1995-2000 MODEL TACOMAS FOR RUST PERFORATION. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND MY CAR IS STILL REGISTERED IN ONE OF THE APPLICABLE STATES, PENNSYLVANIA. I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOOK THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED, THE DEALER SAID MY CAR PASSED RUST PERFORATION TEST BUT COULD NOT LOCATE NOISE. I WAS SHOCKED AS THE NOISE IS UNMISTAKABLE. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER I TOOK THE CAR TO A FRIEND WHO KNOWS A LITTLE MORE ABOUT VEHICLES THEN ME, WE CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK AND HE WAS ABLE TO POINT OUT A BROKEN LEAF SPRING THAT APPEARED TO BE RUSTED AND GRINDING HEAVILY INTO MY PASSENGER SIDE SHOCK. THE DEALER LET ME DRIVE OFF THEIR LOT WITH MY TRUCK LIKE THAT AND THE LEAF SPRING IS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME WHICH THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE INSPECTED! NOT ONLY THIS BUT THE TECH ALSO CHECKED OFF SUSPENSION AS GREEN! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, WHAT IF THE BROKEN LEAF SPRING HAD SWUNG IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND JABBED INTO MY TIRE? TOYOTA IS NOT OFFERING TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER THE WARRANTY DESPITE THE FACT THIS BROKEN LEAF SPRING ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ACROSS THE NATION. *TR
Suspension, Mar 17, 2010
PROBLEM: DEFECTIVE REAR LEAF SPRINGS. ON 4/27/05 HAD RIGHT REAR LEAF SPRING REPLACED, MILEAGE ON VEH. 51261 ON 7/18/06 HAD LEFT REAR LEAF SPRING REPLACED, MILEAGE ON VEH. 56,586 BOTH LEAF SPRINGS NEEDED REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THEY RUSTED SO BADLY THAT THE STEEL BANDS WHICH HELD THEM TOGETHER BROKE. I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HWY EACH TIME A LEAF SPRING BROKE. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT ONE OF THE LEAFS DIDN'T SWING INTO THE REAR WHEELS, IF SO IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I PURCHASED THE VEH. NEW, I'M THE SOLE DRIVER, IT'S USED SOLELY FOR TRANSPORTATION , NEVER USED FOR CONSTRUCTION OR OFF ROAD PURPOSES. I BELIEVE TOYOTA USED VERY POOR QUALITY STEEL IN MAKING THESE LEAF SPRINGS & BANDS OR A POOR HEAT TREATING PROCESS TO STRENGTHEN THE STEEL OR BOTH. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME & CONSIDERATION ON THIS MATTER. P.S.TOYOTA DID REPLACE THE FIRST LEAF SPRING AS A GOODWILL GESTURE, BUT DIDN'T REPLACE THE SECOND ONE. *TR
Suspension, Aug 13, 2008
IN THE PAST 23 MONTHS THE BALL JOINTS HAVE FAILED, CAUSING WHEELS TO FALL OFF, ON BOTH SIDES OF MY 2000 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE FIRST WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH IN SEPTEMBER 2006. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT VERY LOW SPEED CAUSING MINIMAL DAMAGE BUT REQUIRING OVER $900 IN REPAIRS. SECOND WAS THE DRIVER SIDE IN AUGUST 2008. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING DOWNHILL AT UNDER 40 MPH ON GRAVEL ROAD WHEN THE WHEEL FELL OFF [TAKING AXEL, BREAK LINE AND CV JOINT WITH IT]. THE TACOMA SLID OUT OF CONTROL FOR MORE THAN 100' BEFORE COMING TO REST. TOWING AND REPAIRS TO GET THE TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD CAME TO $1,053. THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL DAMAGE IN THE WHEEL WELL AND THE DOOR IS NOT FITTING PROPERLY BUT THAT HAS NOT BEEN EXAMINED BY A REPAIRMAN AS OF YET. *TR
Suspension, May 9, 2006
THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD BANGING SOUND FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I FOUND THE LEFT (DRIVERS SIDE) LEAF SPRING HAD BROKEN AND THEN TWISTED AND WEDGED UNDERNEATH THE SKIDPLATE TO THE GAS TANK. I HAD TO USE A CHISEL TO GET THE BROKEN SPRING OUT FROM UNDER THE GAS TANK. *JB

WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY THERE WAS CRACKING, THEN A METALLIC CLUNKING NOISE. THE CONSUMER SLOWED THE TRUCK DOWN, DROVE HOME AND PARKED THE TRUCK. THE NEXT MORNING , THE CONSUMER COULD VISUALLY SEE THE BROKEN LEAF SPRING, BECAUSE THE SPRING WAS STICKING INTO THE GAS TANK, BUT DIDN'T PENETRATE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED TWO DEALERSHIP WHO INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE SPRING BROKE BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW, DUE TO THE SPRINGS BEING ASSEMBLED IN CORRECTLY. IF THE TRUCK WAS TOWING A TRAILER AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, THIS COULD OF RESULTED IN A ROLL OVER. *NM

THE VEHICLE ROCKS AND SWAYS BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT'S GOING GO TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IT IS WORST IN WINDY CONDITIONS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED ALL FOUR SHOCKS AND HAS HAD THE TRUCK ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS. THEY SAID THEY CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD NOT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE UNDER THE WARRANTY, BECAUSE TOYOTA SAID NOT TO. THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS TIME. IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN PLEASE HELP ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THIS IS MY 3RD TOYOTA TRUCK SENSE 1988. TALKING TO THE SERVICE REP AND TEST DRIVING IT WITH ONE OF THERE MECHANICS AND THEM ALL SAYING THERE IS SOMTHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENION AND ALSO CHANGING THE SHOCKS TO TRY AND ALIEVIATE THE PROBLEM, BUT YET REFUSE TO DO ANYMORE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, IS SOMETHING I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP ME.THANK YOU. *AK
