Toyota is recalling about 381,000 Tacoma midsize pickup trucks to fix potential rear-axle disorders that can increase the threat of crashes, the automaker said Tuesday.
The company’s fourth recall announcement in six days concerns 2022-2023 Toyota Tacoma pickup trucks sold in the U. S. According to the company, according to the company.
Weld debris left at the ends of the rear axle during production can cause retaining nuts to loosen over time and eventually fall off, potentially causing a component to separate from the shaft. This situation can affect the vehicle’s stability and braking performance, amplifying the threat of an accident, Toyota said.
Owners of the recalled trucks will be notified by mail until the end of April.
As a solution, Toyota dealers will loosen the entire rear axle and tighten the axle retaining nuts. If axle parts break as a result of the problem, they will be repaired or replaced, Toyota said.
To see if your vehicle is affected by the recall, visit Toyota. com/recall or nhtsa. gov/recalls and enter your vehicle identification number (VIN) or license plate information.

Last week, Toyota took into account three separate recalls involving 303,000 vehicles for problems, adding a software factor that delays the quick display of the rearview mirror symbol after the driver shifts into reverse.
Quotes were delayed by at least 15 minutes.
