2006 TOYOTA TACOMA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2006 Toyota Tacoma has 6 recalls, the most serious being a rear leaf spring that can fracture and puncture the fuel tank, creating a fire risk. The tire recalls, which appear in two filings describing the same defect, cover improperly assembled tires where a damaged bead can cause sidewall bulging, air loss, and potential tire failure while driving. Two recalls address the driver's airbag: steering wheel vibration can wear out the spiral cable assembly that powers the airbag module, and a separate electrical connection within that same assembly can also lose contact, either way leaving the driver's airbag unable to deploy in a crash. On the restraint side, this recall only affects Access Cab models: repeatedly slamming the rear access doors can gradually loosen the screws holding the front seatbelt pretensioner in place, and if it detaches, the belt will not tighten properly in a severe crash.
