- Toyota has announced a reminder linked to the brake of current generation Tacoma trucks.
- More than 106,000 trucks built for 2024-25 need their rear brake pipes to be replaced.
- The problem affects all -wheel drive versions with the smallest 16 -inch brake rotors.
Toyota has made a reminder for his latest Tacoma truck models, and the problem concerns something you don’t want to play: your brakes. It turns out that there is a design defect with the positioning of the brake pipes, potentially causing serious problems on the road – or on the ground if you cannot lose enough to do this curve.
The car manufacturer has designed the Tacoma’s rear brake pipes to sit inside and near the wheel rim on new trucks for the 2024 model year. But the clearance is so tight that mud and dirt Can accumulate over time inside the wheel, in potentially in contact with the brake pipes and carrying through the material causing a fluid leak. No liquid means no stop, so Toyota had to act, even if the chances of failure are slim.

In total, 106,061 tacoms built between January 2024 and January 2025 are taken so far in the recall, although it is possible that more can be included later. Indeed, at the moment, Toyota is certain that it affects the four -wheel drive versions of the truck equipped with 16 -inch brake rotors and 17 -inch wheels.
Trucks equipped with the largest available brake configuration which includes 17 -inch rotors are not at risk, but Toyota still investigates to see if two -wheel drive models with small brakes and 17 -inch rims, and the Tour four -wheel drive with small brakes but 18 -inch wheels may also need a solution.
The corrective is to replace the rear brake pipes for a new pair, which of course means a trip to your local Toyota dealer. This is the second major reliability GOOF for the new Tacoma, the available automatic transmission of which has proven to be defective in some models last year.
Toyota is no stranger to the reminders necessary to ensure that his cars and trucks can slow down if necessary. A decade ago, the automaker was forced to repair more than 7 million vehicles because they had either floor mats that could make the accelerator pedal breaks, or a problem with the pedal itself- even.
