TOYOTA TRUCK Recalls

The Toyota Truck has 4 recalls spanning the 1979-1989 production run, with the most serious being a fuel hose on 1988 models that can crack from exhaust heat and leak fuel into the engine compartment, creating a fire risk. On 1989 models, the steering relay rod can develop a fatigue crack from repeated high-effort steering maneuvers, such as turning the wheel while the vehicle is stationary. If the crack progresses, the rod can fail and the driver loses the ability to steer. Going back to 1979 models, certain road surfaces can trigger vibration and shimmy at speeds between roughly 37 and 50 mph, which can cause the driver to lose control. The 1980 model year has a compliance issue where an incomplete emissions label can lead to incorrect ignition timing being set during service.
