Plain-English summary
Toyota is recalling certain 2024 Tacoma hybrid and 2024-2025 Tacoma vehicles because their rear shock absorber assemblies may corrode and fail, potentially detaching the external oil reservoir and creating a road hazard. The metal flange on the front and rear shock absorbers is identified as the problematic component. Owners of these vehicles are advised to have their front and rear shock absorber assemblies inspected and replaced free of charge by dealers. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on September 21, 2026, and owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331 for further assistance.
The recall campaign number is 26V514000. Approximately 48,280 units across model years 2024 and 2025 are affected. The primary hazard stems from corrosion of the metal flange on the shock absorbers, which can lead to detachment of the external oil reservoir. This creates a road hazard and increases the risk of a crash. While no injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, the potential for detachment represents a safety concern requiring immediate attention through the manufacturer's replacement program.
