Recall: 2024-2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road models due to Bilstein Shocks Corrosion Issue (48k Units Affected)

Wonder what they’ll do for anyone whose piggybacks fall off in the meantime. “Uh…mind not driving the truck till next March?”

RIP to all those overpriced take-offs on marketplace I will refrain from saying I told you so.

My plan is to wait until my shocks blow out, get them replaced for free, then take them off and replace them with 6112's and sell the brand new set from Toyota.

It says “If the reservoir detaches while driving, it can create a road hazard, potentially increasing the risk of a crash or injury to another road user.”
Maybe not the best plan to purposely wait until a failure happens, just to sell a new set.

Racking up these recalls like a video game score baby

This is three for me, and frankly, that's remarkably low for a new-gen vehicle.

I wouldn't even count this particular recall against Toyota. This one's a billstein issue.

Wonder what they will say since I have aftermarket springs

same here, have taller springs actually, from All Dog, but at least my springs were installed by dealer. my dealer is nice so shouldn't be a problem, but really, those reservoir aren't they welded onto the main shock body? detach???

Same design flaw as the Bronco suspension I believe ? Which says:

"Crevice corrosion can build up at the retention interface between the external
reservoir and the long flange shock absorber damper tube. This creates a
jacking force, leading to erosion of the weld and parent material. This erosion
can lead to separation of the external reservoir tube."
