What's wrong, in plain English
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 Tacoma trucks. On these trucks, the rear axle shaft sub-assembly may separate from the axle housing. This can happen because debris gets into the assembly and causes the fasteners that are supposed to hold the axle shaft securely in place to loosen or become improperly secured, which can allow the axle shaft to come apart from the housing.

2. Contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 to have a dealer inspect the rear axle.
