15 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
On some Toyota Tacoma vehicles, a metal flange on the front and rear shock absorbers may corrode. If it corrodes enough to fail, the external oil reservoir attached to the shock absorber can detach from the vehicle.
Toyota is recalling certain Toyota and Lexus trucks, SUVs and hybrid models. The load carrying capacity modification label, which lists how much added weight the vehicle can carry, may show inaccurate values. Because of that, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering tire selection and rims. Dealers will replace the label free of charge, and Toyota mailed owner letters on May 26, 2026.
The front driveshaft on your Tacoma has a joint that can bend out of shape and break over time. If it breaks, it can make the truck harder to steer. On trucks with full-time four-wheel drive, a broken driveshaft could also let the truck roll away on its own if it's parked without the parking brake applied. Toyota is recalling these trucks to check the front driveshaft joints for this problem.
A software error in the instrument panel can occur when the vehicle starts up. Because of this, the panel may fail to show the vehicle's speed, brake system warning, and tire pressure warning lights. This is happening on a range of Toyota models covered by this recall. The recall is being carried out in phases, with owner notification letters sent out in stages, and additional letters expected in the future.
On some 2024-2025 Toyota Tacoma 4-wheel drive vehicles, mud and dirt can build up inside the rear wheels and damage the rear brake hoses. This damage can cause a brake fluid leak. A brake fluid leak can reduce the vehicle's braking ability, meaning it could take longer to stop. Dealers will replace both rear brake hoses, free of charge.
These Toyota and Lexus vehicles may have been incorrectly repaired under an earlier recall for the same part. Inside the steering column there is an electrical connection that may not be welded well enough, and if it comes apart, the driver's airbag can turn off. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard for protecting occupants in a crash.
Gulf States Toyota is recalling certain Toyota vehicles, mostly from the 2023 through 2025 model years, that were fitted with Gulf States Toyota accessories. Models include 4Runner, Corolla, Highlander, Prius, Tacoma, Tundra, Grand Highlander, Sequoia Hybrid, bZ4X, Venza Hybrid and others. The sticker that lists how much weight the added accessories take up may show wrong numbers, so these vehicles do not meet the federal standard for tire and rim selection.
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.
On certain Toyota Corolla, Corolla Cross, Highlander, Tacoma, and related Lexus vehicles, an electrical connection inside the steering column's spiral cable assembly may not be welded well enough. If this connection separates, it can deactivate the driver's air bag. A deactivated air bag will not deploy the way it's supposed to. Dealers will inspect the spiral cable assembly and replace it if necessary, free of charge.
Some Toyota Tacoma trucks have upper child seat anchors where one or more of the welds may not be strong enough. These anchors are used to secure a child seat to the vehicle. If the welds are insufficient, the child seat anchor may not hold as it should, which could let the child seat shift or move during a sudden stop or a crash.
Some Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles have a label showing how much weight the vehicle can carry. On these vehicles the label may not be permanent and can fade until it can no longer be read. Because of that, the vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard covering tire and rim selection. Gulf States Toyota is mailing owners a replacement label along with instructions for putting it on.
Toyota is recalling a large number of Toyota and Lexus vehicles from the 2017 through 2020 model years, including Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, Tacoma, Tundra, Sienna and many Lexus models. The low-pressure fuel pump, which sits inside the fuel tank and sends gasoline to the engine, may fail. If it fails, the engine can stall while you are driving. This recall expands an earlier recall covering the same fuel pump problem.
On many Toyota and Lexus models, the low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail. If the pump fails, the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven, which affects the driver's ability to keep control of the vehicle at that moment.
Gulf States Toyota is recalling certain 2019 Toyota vehicles because of a problem with the load capacity label. The printing on the label, which shows how much weight the vehicle can carry, may become impossible to read. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rule covering tire selection and rims. Dealers will give owners a corrected load carrying capacity label to replace the one that cannot be read.
In some Toyota Tacoma trucks, the brake master cylinder was not machined properly during manufacturing. This improper machining can damage one of the seals inside the master cylinder. A damaged seal can reduce how well the brakes work, which means the truck may need a longer distance to come to a stop. This reduced braking performance can make it harder to stop the vehicle as quickly as normal.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

NHTSA lists 15 safety recalls covering the 2018–2025 Toyota Tacoma. 11 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Toyota Tacoma Shock Absorber Reservoir Can Detach" (NHTSA campaign 26V514000), reported Aug 6, 2026.
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma has the most, with 5 recalls. The 2020 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 15 Toyota Tacoma recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
