Buying a used 2024 Toyota Tacoma? Check these 5 recalls first
The redesigned year has the heaviest complaint record of these Tacomas: 146 owner complaints filed with NHTSA — unverified reports — with power train (52) and service brakes (34) far ahead of other areas, and 32 injuries noted alongside 5 crashes and 1 fire. Recalls include rear brake hoses that can leak fluid and shock parts that can rust off onto the road, plus a dashboard that may not display speed or warnings. Two label recalls are routine.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Test drive for transmission and drivetrain behavior, given the power train complaint volume
- Confirm the rear brake hose recall repair and inspect for fluid leaks
- Verify the shock component and instrument display recalls were completed
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
