TSB: 2024 Tacoma Transmission Failures Issue & Replacement (9/9/24). Updated w/ VIN Lookup Tool

[maxx075]

Is there a way to know actually how many trucks are affected with the transmission failures or what percentage? Thanks.

Call toyota and ask them. They won't tell you though.

Should one be concerned about the AL80F transmission in the 2025's...? I'd hope Toyota has resolved the issue in current production

The issue was already fixed in mid to late 2024s, so you’re fine.

Knock on wood, I haven't had any issues, and my Tacoma was built in February 2024, so under this TSB. It has over 16K miles on it.

Looks like I got bit by the tranny bug. Just passed 12k miles on my TH. No warning signs of impending doom. Was on the freeway cruising along, then sudden violent jerking and the engine cut out. Pulled over and restarted the engine and limped to a service center. I’m over 200 miles away from home on an important work trip. Not sure what to do. May have to find a rental because I think they are gonna recommend towing it back to my local dealer. We’ll see…

I don’t know. Just guessing. They aren’t even sure they can look at it today since I don’t have an appointment.

Funny story, when I walked in and started telling them the problem they acted like they had never heard of anything like this before. Then they got me confused with another guy who just came in with his ‘24 Taco having the exact same problem. ?‍

Not the least bit shocked lol, the incompetence is out of this world . Please keep the group posted on your outcome! Good luck

oof that sucks. seems to be happening more and more. Does the VIN range still seem accurate, or has anyone run into trouble that is not in the TSB's effected VINs?

Good to know, oddly enough I’m jealous of your situation lol, I wish my piece of crap transmission would just fail…it shifts like a kid learning to drive stick shift.
