MAY 2014. MIDDLE LEAF SPRING (OF A TOTAL OF 3 LEAF SPRINGS) ON LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE CRACKED. TOYOTA CHARGED $275 TO REPAIR IT. NOVEMBER 2014. TOYOTA ISSUES A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR POSSIBLE LEAF SPRING FRACTURE. THEY DO NOT ISSUE A REMEDY AND DO NOT OFFER TO REPLACE ANY LEAF SPRINGS. THEY MENTION A SECOND LETTER THAT WILL AUTHORIZE LEAF SPRING REPLACEMENT, WHICH AS OF TODAY (27 JULY 2015) HAS NOT YET BEEN ISSUED. JULY 2015. ONE LEAF SPRING ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE CRACKS AND IS REMOVED BY TOYOTA DEALER. CUSTOMER IS TOLD TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL REPLACEMENT SPRING ARRIVE WITH ONLY TWO LEAF SPRINGS ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE. 27 JULY 2015. LEAF SPRINGS REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE WITH A HEAVIER CONSTRUCTION 4-LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT TOYOTA ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN NOVEMBER 2014 AND 9 MONTHS LATER THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY LEAF SPRINGS ONLY BECAUSE THEY BROKE. I DO NOT THINK THAT TOYOTA TAKES THE OBLIGATIONS OF VEHICLE SAFETY SERIOUSLY. THEY ARE NEGLIGENT IN ALLOWING PEOPLE TO DRIVE AROUND IN VEHICLES WITH UNDERRATED LEAF SPRINGS. THEY ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE AROUND WITH ONE FEWER LEAF SPRING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. AND THEY HAVE NOT TO DATE REIMBURSED ME FOR MY FIRST LEAF SPRING REPAIR (TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLS ME IT MAY TAKE ONE OR TWO YEARS FROM NOW BEFORE I RECEIVE A LETTER ALLOWING ME TO APPLY FOR REIMBURSEMENT). I APPRECIATE YOUR INVESTIGATION OF THIS SITUATION.

The electrical wiring in the seat heaters may be damaged when the seat cushion is compressed.
Consequence & remedy

Remedy: SET will notify owners, and dealers will disconnect the seat heaters, free of charge, and refund the purchase price of the seat heater accessory. The recall began on July 14, 2016. Owners may contact SET customer service at 1-866-405-4226. SET number for this recall is SET16B.
Nov 19, 2014

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner and 4x4 vehicles manufactured September 14, 2009, to October 11, 2010. In the affected vehicles, one of the leaf springs may fracture due to stress or corrosion. While being driven, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components including the fuel tank, possibly puncturing the tank and causing a fuel leak.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the fuel tank leaks fuel from being punctured, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners and dealers will install new rear leaf spring assemblies. The recall began on January 29, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
Aug 4, 2014
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 FJ Cruiser and Tacoma vehicles equipped with accessory wheels and tires installed by Toyota or dealers prior to the vehicle's first sale. The affected vehicles may list incorrect spare tire size and/or cold tire inflation information on the tire placard. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims for Passenger Cars."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the spare tire is inflated to the incorrect pressure provided on the placard, tire failure may occur while it is being driven on, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: For the involved vehicles, overlay stickers to correct the tire placard will either be mailed to owners or provided to dealers for placement over the incorrect information on the placard. The recall is expected to begin in September 2014. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
Apr 9, 2014
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
Remedy: Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-762-2737.

If the access doors are repeatedly and forcefully closed, the screws that attach the seat belt pre-tensioner to the seat belt retractor can loosen over time. If the screws loosen completely, the seat belt pre-tensioner and the retractor spring cover could detach from the seat belt retractor.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the seat belt pre-tensioner detaches from the seat belt assembly, the seat belt pre-tensioner will not perform as designed, increasing the risk of injury in a severe crash.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assemblies. Based on the inspection, the seat belt assembly will be replaced or new pre-tensioner screws will be installed with thread-locking sealant and a retractor spring cover with stopper ribs to prevent loosening of the screws. These services will be provided at no cost to the owner. The recall began during February 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation.
