What is being recalled
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner and 4x4 vehicles manufactured September 14, 2009, to October 11, 2010. In the affected vehicles, one of the leaf springs may fracture due to stress or corrosion. While being driven, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components including the fuel tank, possibly puncturing the tank and causing a fuel leak.
Why it is dangerous
If the fuel tank leaks fuel from being punctured, there is an increased risk of a fire.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Toyota will notify owners and dealers will install new rear leaf spring assemblies. The recall began on January 29, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 14V-604 when calling a dealer.
