About The 2016-2017 Toyota Tacoma Oil Leak Recall
What is the recall?Toyota Motor North America, Inc. is calling for a safety recall of
certain 2016-2017 Toyota Tacomas. The recall was prompted by a problem with the
rear differentials leaking oil. The approximate number of units affected by
this recall is 228,000.
What's the risk if I don't bring it in?
Vehicles affected by the recall may leak oil from their rear differentials. If
left unrepaired, trucks continuously operated in this state could damage the
rear differentials creating noise and impaired propulsion. In extreme cases,
the rear differentials may seize causing a loss of control and increased risk
of a collision.
Will I get a formal notice?
Yes. Toyota will be sending formal notifications of the recall to all known
owners via first class mail starting mid-June. You can also search recalls by
