Suspension, rear, springs, leaf spring assembly, leafSep 29, 2014
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner and 4x4 vehicles manufactured September 14, 2009, to October 11, 2010. In the affected vehicles, one of the leaf springs may fracture due to stress or corrosion. While being driven, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components including the fuel tank, possibly puncturing the tank and causing a fuel leak.
If the fuel tank leaks fuel from being punctured, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Toyota will notify owners and dealers will install new rear leaf spring assemblies. The recall began on January 29, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Seat beltsAug 7, 2013
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Tacoma Access Cab vehicles manufactured September 14, 2004, through March 29, 2010; and model year 2011 Tacoma Access Cab vehicles manufactured July 1, 2010, through September 7, 2011. If the access doors are repeatedly and forcefully closed, the screws that attach the seat belt pre-tensioner to the seat belt retractor can loosen over time. If the screws loosen completely, the seat belt pre-tensioner and the retractor spring cover could detach from the seat belt retractor.
If the seat belt pre-tensioner detaches from the seat belt assembly, the seat belt pre-tensioner will not perform as designed, increasing the risk of injury in a severe crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assemblies. Based on the inspection, the seat belt assembly will be replaced or new pre-tensioner screws will be installed with thread-locking sealant and a retractor spring cover with stopper ribs to prevent loosening of the screws. These services will be provided at no cost to the owner. The recall began during February 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

LEAF SPRINGS ARE UNDER A RECALL.
Suspension, Dec 1, 2017
CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT A RECALL (REAR LEAF SPRINGS) THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE 2 RECALLS,BUT NOT TOLD TO THE OWNERS-NO NOTICE SENT OUT .THEY SAID THE OTHER RECALL IS THE ROTTING FRAME & IT WOULD BE CHECKED WHEN I BRING IT IN TO HAVE THE SPRINGS REPLACED,WHICH THEY HAD TO ORDER( ALSO THIS HAS BEEN 30 DAYS AGO).(NOTE) THIS TRUCK IS ALL I HAVE TO DRIVE.I CHECKED THE FRAME AND IT IS BAD ! THERE ARE PLACES THAT I CAN POKE MY FINGER THROUGH THE FRAME...IF SOMETHING HAPPENS I WILL COME BACK ON THE GOV. & TOYOTA FOR NOT PUBLICLY AND FORMALLY ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. I ALWAYS LIKED TOYOTA BUT I WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE.......
Suspension, Sep 23, 2017
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE & WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A BACK ORDER OF THE PART. AN INSPECTION INDICATED NO IMMEDIATE DANGER SO I WAS PLACED ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE LEAF SPRINGS & WOULD BE CALLED, BUT MONTHS PASSED &I WASN'T CALLED. I CHECKED MANY TIMES & IN BETWEEN CALLS, THEY GAVE MY PART TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER.WHEN THEY GOT ANOTHER SET, I ARRIVED FOR THE APPT &WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LEAF SPRINGS BECAUSE THERE WAS A LIFT BLOCK INSTALLED. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN HAVE THE RECALL COMPLETED WAS TO PAY TO HAVE THE LIFT REMOVED FROM ANOTHER SHOP & THEN TOYOTA WOULD DO THE RECALL WORK. I PRICED THE COST OF HAVING THE LIFT REMOVED AND WAS TOLD BY THE AFTERMARKET SHOP THAT OTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS WERE DOING THE LEAF SPRING RECALL WORK WITHOUT REQUIRING THE LIFT TO BE REMOVED. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP & THEY STILL SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO THE WORK. I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THE LIFT REMOVAL AND REINSTALLATION, THE MODIFICATION THAT WAS DONE TO THE TRUCK IS A SIMPLE BLOCK THAT IS PUT UNDER THE LEAF SPRINGS SO ALL THAT TOYOTA WOULD NEED TO DO IS THE SAME WORK THEY WOULD ALREADY BE DOING IF THE LIFT WAS NOT PRESENT; THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS REMOVING 1 LIFT BLOCK FROM EACH REAR SIDE, & PUTTING IT BACK WHEN THEY PUT NEW LEAF SPRING ON. I EVEN TOLD THEM I'M WILLING TO SIGN ANY WAIVER NECESSARY. I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THE WORK THEY ARE SAYING IS MANDATORY BEFORE THEY COMPLETE THE RECALL & AS TIME PASSES I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE INCLUDING THE RUST SPOTS ON THE LEAF SPRINGS. THE DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE WILLING TO DO THE RECALL SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE LEAF SPRINGS BUT WHEN REASSEMBLING IT THEY WILL NOT PUT THE BLOCK BACK WHICH MEANS MY VEHICLE WOULD BE LIFTED IN THE FRONT BUT NOT IN THE REAR AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE TOWED( UNABLE TO DRIVE IN THAT CONDITION) TO A SHOP TO REDO ALL THE WORK TOYOTA JUST PERFORMED!

AFTER PURCHASING THIS TRUCK USED IN SEPT 2014, MY MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING WAS MISSING HALF OF ONE OF THE LEAVES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL PROGRAM, EVEN THOUGH THE INTERNET REVEALED NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. SINCE TOYOTA OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WHAT SO EVER, I PURCHASED AN AFTER MARKET SPRING REPLACEMENT KIT, AND UPGRADED THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION. IN 2016, TOYOTA NOTIFIED ME OF A NHTSA RECALL 14V-604, DEALING WITH BROKEN LEAF SPRINGS, MY EXACT PROBLEM. SINCE I HAD ALREADY REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AT MY OWN COST, I SUBMITTED THE INVOICES FOR THE SUSPENSION KIT, AND MY MECHANIC'S INVOICE. THEY HAVE CONTINUALLY REQUESTED ADDITIONAL AND UNNECESSARY PAPER WORK, INCLUDING A SEPARATE DETAILED LETTER FROM MY MECHANIC. ONE IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS, AND TWO HE IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS WHEN THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, BUT OF COURSE TOYOTA WAS DENYING RESPONSIBILITY AT THAT TIME. THIS IS MERELY AN EFFORT TO DELAY AND AVOID PAYMENT UNDER THE RECALL PLAN. I AM NOT TRYING TO GET TOYOTA TO PAY FOR OTHER UNRELATED PARTS AND REPAIRS, ONLY THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS AND LABOR TO REPLACE. EVERY TIME I CALL TOYOTA, THEY SAY THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT, AND THEN A MONTH LATER I GET THE SAME ROBO LETTER REQUESTING THE SAME UNREASONABLE INFO THAT I CAN'T PROVIDE OVER 2 YEARS LATER. I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB, BUT TOYOTA HAS AN "F" RATING, SO OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE NO CONCERN FOR CUSTOMER SAFETY OR SATISFACTION.

I CALLED TOYOTA OF SANTA BARBARA TO SCHEDULE THIS RECALL WORK TO REPLACE THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS ON MY TACOMA. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE ON ORDER AND I WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THEY CAME IN. I WEEK OR MORE LATER, I CALLED AGAIN AND TOLD BY A MAN IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT THAT THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL WERE STILL NOT IN. HE ASKED IF I WANTED TO BE PUT ON THE WAITING LIST FOR THE RECALL SERVICE. I WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT DESPITE MY PREVIOUS CALL I WAS NOT PUT ON THE LIST. THE GUY I SPOKE TO WAS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE FOR WHEN THE SERVICE COULD BE DONE, AND SAID THE FAULTY LEAF SPRINGS COULD BE USED WITHOUT RISKS. I WAS UNWILLING TO BE SO CAVALIER WITH THE DEFECT AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. I EXPLAINED THAT WHEN TOWING MY SMALL TRAILER THE SUSPENSION BOTTOMS OUT WHEN HITTING A DIP OR BUMP, EVEN AT SLOW SPEEDS. I AM PLANNING A LONG CAMPING TRIP ACROSS THE WEST AND CANADA AND NEED THIS REPAIRED BEFORE AUGUST 12TH.
