4 recalls across 4 model years
The Toyota Truck has 4 recalls spanning 1979 through 1989, with the most serious being a steering relay rod defect on 1989 models where repeated full-lock steering maneuvers can cause a fatigue crack to develop in the rod, risking a loss of steering control.
The 1988 model year has a fuel hose that may sit too close to the exhaust gas recirculation pipe, allowing heat from that pipe to crack the hose, leak fuel into the engine compartment, and start a fire. Going back further, 1979 models can develop vibration and shimmy when driven between roughly 37 and 50 mph on certain road surfaces, which can cause the driver to lose control. The 1980 model year has a compliance recall involving an incomplete emissions label that can lead to incorrect ignition timing adjustment.
