“Broken rear spring leaf. Same issue as NHTSA recall id 14v604000 dated 29 jan 2016. Recall issued for Tacoma pre-runner and 4x4. My vehicle is a 2010 Tacoma base model. Last couple of days the vehicle sounded different after going over a pothole. Took the vehicle to my mechanic and he reported a broken spring leaf”

NHTSA complaint #11322905, filed 2020-04, 85,900 miles

“I recently purchased a used 2010 Toyota Tacoma. I was informed that there is a safety recall (NHTSA reference id 14v604) on the rear leaf springs. The recall was issued in september 2014 and Toyota has still not developed a remedy for this safety issue. Does the NHTSA have any recourse to compel Toyota to develop a remedy? The recall has been issued for more than one year and there is still no remedy.”

NHTSA complaint #10818582, filed 2016-01, 36,205 miles

“In september 2016 I was informed of safety recall and put on wait list. Called riverside Toyota rome ga march 2017 and was told still waiting on parts with 250 people on wait list in front of me. Not toyotas fault but fault of outsourced parts”

NHTSA complaint #10969248, filed 2017-03, 60,000 miles

“Experiencing a clunking and banging from the rear of my truck that matches the description listed in the recall letter we received pertaining to the failure of rear leaf springs on our 2010 Toyota Tacoma trd. On visual inspection, found that some of the leaf plates have moved out of position which can develop into a dangerous situation. We live 50 miles from the closest Toyota dealership and may need to have the vehicle towed because of the safety issues. …”

NHTSA complaint #10816318, filed 2015-12, 42,500 miles

“I was notified in early 2015 (not sure of the actual date) of a pending recall NHTSA# 14v604 or Toyota # e02 regarding a problem with rear suspension leaf spring assemblies. I received a second letter(in 2015) about the same issue noting that a solution will be in place in early 2016. I have not heard from Toyota regarding this issue in 2016 yet the issue recall is still active on the NHTSA data base. At this time, I have not had an incident with my vehicle but am disappointed that Toyota has been so deliberate in fixing the problem. That is my complaint.”
