A Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road recall covers approximately 48,000 MY2024–2025 trucks over a shock absorber defect that could create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Shock Absorber Defect Triggers Tacoma Recall
Corrosion can build up on the shock absorbers and cause their oil reservoirs to detach, Toyota said. A detached reservoir could become road debris, while the resulting loss of shock oil could reduce damping performance and potentially affect vehicle stability.
The voluntary safety recall involves approximately 48,000 MY2024–2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road models. As of this writing, the campaign has yet to appear in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall database.
Why the Shock Absorbers Matter
Toyota equips the Tacoma TRD Off-Road with Bilstein monotube remote-reservoir shocks designed for extended wheel travel and greater heat dissipation.
The company did not say whether the recall is limited to a specific powertrain. The TRD Off-Road is available with either a 2.4-liter i-Force turbocharged engine or the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain, which produces up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.
Because a detached reservoir could allow shock oil to escape and affect damping performance, avoiding extreme maneuvers until the issue is repaired would be a sensible precaution.
Toyota’s Recall Remedy
Owners of MY2024–2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road models can enter their vehicle identification numbers into Toyota’s or NHTSA’s recall database to determine whether their trucks are affected. Owners can also contact the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331.
Toyota plans to notify affected customers by early October 2026. Owners will be instructed to bring their vehicles to a Toyota dealer, where the front and rear shock-absorber assemblies will be inspected.
Any affected assemblies will be replaced with improved ones at no cost. Toyota has not issued a “Do Not Drive” advisory for the recall.
Another Toyota Recall Affects 2025–2026 Camry
The Tacoma campaign comes alongside another voluntary safety recall recently announced by Toyota involving approximately 508,000 MY2025–2026 Camrys.
Those vehicles can have 7-inch digital instrument displays that go blank at startup. Owners affected by that recall will also be notified by early October 2026.
