Toyota Tacoma front driveshaft joint may break

NHTSA campaign 25V656000 · Reported 2025-10-01 · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

high How serious is it? About this label

This one is serious — losing steering control or having the truck roll away can cause a crash, so have it inspected as soon as you can.

What's wrong, in plain English

On these 2025 Toyota Tacomas, a joint in the front driveshaft can deform and then break. If it breaks, steering can become difficult while you are driving. On full-time four-wheel-drive versions, a broken driveshaft can also let the truck roll away while parked if the parking brake is not set. A dealer will inspect both front driveshaft assemblies and replace them if needed, at no cost to you.

What you should do

1. Always set the parking brake when you park until the truck is inspected. 2. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Tacoma is included. 3. Contact your Toyota dealer, or Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 (recall 25TB11), for the free inspection and repair.
