2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma Recalled For Flaw That Could Cause Fuel Leak Or Damage ... - Washington Post

Toyota is recalling its Tacoma pickup from model years 2005 to 2011. According to the New York Times , the recall stems from a potential flaw in the truck's suspension, which could cause a leak in the fuel tank or damage the brake line. Toyota says that it knows of no accidents or injuries linked to the problem. However, at least 24 complaints have been filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration since 2011. At least one of those complaints details complete loss of braking function. The Times says that the recall affects roughly 790,000 vehicles, 690,000 of which are registered in the U. S. Unlike most recalls stemming from corrosion -- which are often limited in scope to northern states that use salts to de-ice roadways --... Toyota hasn't indicated when the recall will officially begin. If you believe that you own one of the affected vehicles, we encourage you to visit Toyota's online recall center at www.
