Today I had my first service for my 2023 Tacoma TRD Off Road. They told me about the recall but said there is no fix right now. They said they are still working on a remedy. Wonderful.

If my wheels fall off then I guess I know I need to take it in for the recall 🤷

My 2023 TRD Sport is affected by the recall. I believe it’s all trim levels from 22-23’.

Bro wants to blame it on Mexico 😂 bro it says welding debris on axel not the whole part it’s ** assembled in Mexico u know what assemble means?

The first indication that your truck is affected by this recall is your rear passenger side tail light shatters

I got the recall for my 2022 SR 2.7l 4x2 Access Cab. So I'm pretty sure it's across the whole 2022 - 2023 line.

I've been around for more than 5 decades, so I've seen a few things. Toyota has great advertising and while they are pretty durable with the drive train the rest of the vehicle, trucks at least have always had problems. From rusted frames to poor paint jobs, breaking tie rods, axle shafts, warped beds after heavy use, electrical issues, and yes, axle problems. I wouldn't worry too much as this is just typical Toyota stuff, they do, however, tend to repair most breaks as long as they don't say it happened off road. Turns out off-roading a Tacoma voids the warranty who would have thought that. In the realm of compact trucks they are all as dependable as the next so it's your preference. Just don't abandon Japan because of issues you didn't expect, it's been happening for decades.

I thought my stability got bad recently… was about to call the dealer. 5600 miles on my ‘23 trd off road

Dealing with this now on my 23 TRD Sport. Dealership is an hour away and they can only do the inspection mon-fri so I have to miss work and lose out on money. Also, they can’t loan me a truck if they have to keep mine to fix.

The 21 TRD sport that I had didn’t have any recalls, it was built in Texas. Personally, I would prefer made in Japan .

I received the recall notice on my 23 SR5, stopped by I-75 Toyota in Lake City FL. They said they don't have the parts, and I should wait until I get a card with "Recall" in a red box. Driving back from Valdosta GA at 70(ish) on the interstate, it felt like the transmission was attempting to downshift but I did not lose any speed. The transmission fishes for the proper shift points all the time between starting off and 45. The engine is amazing, and passing kicks in like it's a turbo 6. As a guy with a long torso, it is still a challenge to get in and out of the truck, but Tacoma is still far and away the best mid-sized. I have to hand it to Ford and their Maverick effort, I know three owners and all are very satisfied, but they don't work with their trucks, or tow.
Prior to this in Jan I cancelled the advanced order for the 24 due to continued delays. When I was in for the attempted recall, I got a in person look at the 24 and I think the back seat is actually smaller. It was just as difficult to get in and out of. With all of the problems that are being called out on Youtube, I'm glad I chose the last year of the 3rd gen. And then there's the cost premium of the 24.
My best to all who do buy the new 24 and I wish them years of enjoyment and mechanical reliability.

I have a 23’offroad and got the message in the app. It’s lifted so I’ve already re tightened everything so not too worried about it

I brought my Tacoma in for the recall and an oil change. I got my truck back one month later because Toyota did not have the parts to repair my truck. Parts on back order for an undetermined time. Toyota, don’t issue a recall, if you don’t have the parts to fix your vehicles.

I really appreciate this video. I own a 2022 Toyota Tacoma Trail Edition. I had heard about the recall, but could not find any info. about whether mine was one of the ones affected. The NTSA website which is responsible for recalls does not have this info. yet. Your recommendation about checking Toyota's website paid off. My Tacoma is affected, so I will definitely be monitoring when they come up with a remedy. Thanks -

This video really does not tell you much of anything, here is the deal, the axle manufacture installed a new design shield on their welding machine that welds the end plate to the axle tube. When that new design shied was installed it was not installed to the proper spec and that allowed weld splatter to get on the end plate that is welded to the end of the axle tube. If the weld splatter is on the flat surface of the end plate around the four axle retaining nuts then there may be weld splatter under the nuts allowing them to come loose and possibly fall off, that will allow the rear axle to slide out of the axle tube and could result in loss of brakes and a crash.

Not every Tacoma was affected by this but Toyota and the axle manufacture do not know how many axles were affected so all Tacomas starting with build date 5/22 through the end of the 2023 model year run are included in the recall to check them.

If you want to check it yourself look to see if there is any weld splatter on the end plate and around the four nuts that retain the axle. If that area is free of weld splatter you likely do not have any issues, I have a copy of the page for the Tacoma rear axle and it shows the torque spec for those axle retaining nuts to be 36Nm/27 ft lbs of torque. 36 Nm converts to 27 ft lbs of torque. I checked my 2023 Tacoma and the end plate has no weld splatter on it and the nuts are all tight when I checked them with a torque wrench. I have a video on my page showing the page with the torque specs and shows you the four nuts involved on the end of the axle tube.

I got that recall and mine is a 2022 off road 4x4.

I want to be an influencer but have no idea about the building and assembly processes. Very simple for the average owner to inspect.

[bendawe]

I called my dealer when I got the letter in the mail and they told me that they couldn’t do it until July 26th I dont know what’s up with that

[Marty-k]

I'm in Michigan. It was 75 yesterday and today snow shoers

2023 Black Addition -

Back passenger rear wheel locked-up @ 70 MPH. Dam near rolled the vehicle.

Mine is a sitting at the dealership. Toyota has zero parts available to fix the axle.

They gave me a rental at zero cost until the truck is fixed.

'23 SR v6 4x4, I got my letter. so it's more wide spread trim wise.
