The 1995 Toyota Tacoma has 3 recalls, the most serious being a front suspension support that can crack and fail without warning, causing a sudden loss of steering control and raising the risk of a crash.
This suspension issue affects two-wheel drive models only, and the cracking can occur under hard braking or demanding driving conditions, leaving the driver with little ability to steer or stop the vehicle. On the electrical side, the battery on certain vehicles has a defect in the weld inside one of its posts, where the internal connection can separate and leave the truck unable to start. In more extreme cases, the battery can rupture and explode, which poses a risk to anyone near the engine bay during or after the failure.
