We sincerely hope that this is the last recall from Toyota that we will be reporting on for a while.
Here’s the tally of recalled ‘Yotas so far (all 2009-2010 models):
- Corolla
- Camry
- Matrix
- Highlander
- RAV4
- Avalon
- Tundra
- Sequoia
- Prius
- Lexus HS250h
And now comes word that the Tacoma will now get a recall. At least this recall has nothing to do with sticking gas pedals, faulty brakes or ridiculous floormat issues. The front propeller shaft has been deemed to be defective for 8,000 of 2010 Tacomas. Apparently a crack can form causing the drive shaft to come loose from the truck.
Obviously this would only affect all-wheel drive versions, so if you have a rare two wheel drive version, you’re good.
Yaris, Sienna, Venza, 4Runner and FJ Cruiser: You are the only ones now left standing. We don’t want to write a blog post about how you’ve been recalled too – so please – keep it together.
