2016 TOYOTA TACOMA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Toyota Tacoma has 6 recalls, the most serious being a rear differential oil leak that can cause the differential to seize and the rear axle to lock up, raising the risk of losing control. On the engine side, V6 models have a crank position sensor that can malfunction and stall the engine while driving, which can increase crash risk. This issue is covered by recalls in multiple regions but reflects the same underlying defect. There is also a recall covering the driver's knee airbag on trucks built during a narrow window in late 2015: incorrect mounting bolts were used and can loosen over time, potentially affecting how the airbag deploys in a crash. On the lower-severity end, certain vehicles fitted with accessory hood scoops installed by a regional distributor have an adhesive that can weaken and allow the scoop to detach at speed, creating a hazard for other drivers.
