Toyota recalls 2024 Tacoma Hybrid and 2024–2025 Tacoma vehicles over shock absorbers that may corrode and fail
The metal flange on the front and rear shock absorbers may corrode and fail, so the external oil reservoir can detach, which can create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
What to do
Dealers will inspect and replace the front and rear shock absorber assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331 and mention recall numbers 26TB14 and 26TA14.
