Toyota Recalls 48,280 Tacoma Trucks

Toyota is recalling 48,280 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road trucks because their Bilstein dampers may have a corrosion problem. The shocks use external oil reservoirs, and a welded flange securing the reservoir can corrode over time, potentially causing it to detach while the truck is moving.

The issue is linked to an untreated metal area between the reservoir, flange and damper body. Exposure to salt spray and rock impacts can accelerate corrosion and eventually weaken the weld. Toyota says the problem has already been associated with 20 field technical reports and 62 warranty claims.

The investigation began in September 2025 after Toyota received two reports involving leaking dampers. A dealer later discovered a missing reservoir, prompting further analysis by Toyota and Bilstein.

Owners of affected trucks will be asked to visit an authorized Toyota dealer. Technicians will inspect the damper assemblies and replace the front and rear units with improved parts at no cost. Dealers were notified earlier this month, while owner letters are scheduled to be mailed by October 5, 2026.

Could a detached reservoir create a serious safety risk? Will the redesigned components permanently solve the corrosion issue? And should owners of Tacoma TRD Off-Road models have received earlier warnings?
