Toyota Pulls 106,000 Tacoma Pickup Trucks Over Brake Issue

Toyota recalled 106,061 units of its 2024 and 2025 Tacoma pickup trucks this month.

The recall is due to a rear brake defect attributed to wheel-spacing issues. According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Tacoma models equipped with four-wheel drive systems, 17-inch wheels, and 16-inch rear brakes may be prone to dust or mud accumulation inside the wheel drum.

This buildup could wear down brake lines over time, potentially leading to brake fluid leaks. Such leaks could reduce braking power and increase the risk of accidents.

As of January 29, Toyota had confirmed five technical field reports and twelve warranty repair requests related to this issue.

This is not the first time Tacoma has faced recall issues. In February last year, Toyota initiated a major recall affecting 380,000 vehicles. The automaker announced a recall of 381,000 units of the 2022-2023 Tacoma pickup trucks due to potential nut loosening caused by welding debris from the rear axle assembly process.

The severity of this defect cannot be understated. It could cause vehicles to suddenly stop or experience diminished braking performance, potentially leading to serious accidents. In response, Toyota offered free inspections and repairs for the affected parts at its authorized service centers.

Toyota expanded its recall efforts last year to include 280,000 additional vehicles, encompassing the 2024 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid, 2024 Sequoia Hybrid, and Lexus LX600 models. These recalls were attributed to defects in the fuel pump system.

U.S. owners of affected Toyota vehicles are strongly advised to schedule regular inspections to ensure their safety on the road.
