Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain Toyota vehicles

TORONTO, Ontario – February 27, 2024 – Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving 2022 – 2023 model-year Toyota Tacoma vehicles in Canada. Approximately 21,035 vehicles are involved in this recall.

Welding debris left on the ends of the rear axle assembly during manufacturing could cause certain retaining nuts to loosen over time and eventually fall off, potentially causing a part to separate from the axle. If separation occurs, this can affect vehicle stability and brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will inspect the rear axle assembly and retighten the axle retaining nuts at no cost to customers. If axle components are damaged as a result of this condition, they will be repaired or replaced, if necessary, based on inspection criteria.

Customers will be notified about this issue through the mail by late April 2024.
