2009 TOYOTA TACOMA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 Toyota Tacoma has 4 recalls, the most serious affecting Pre-Runner and 4x4 models where a rear leaf spring can fracture and puncture the fuel tank, creating a fire risk. Two recalls involve the driver's airbag losing the ability to deploy in a crash. In one, the flexible flat cable that carries electrical signals through the steering column can be damaged, cutting power to the airbag module. In the other, steering wheel vibration gradually damages the clockspring assembly that powers the same module, with the airbag warning light typically illuminating before the airbag goes offline. There is also a seatbelt concern on Access Cab models: if the rear access doors are slammed repeatedly over time, screws holding the seatbelt pretensioner to the retractor can back out, leaving the pretensioner unable to pull the belt tight in a crash.
