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

[DaveyJ]

Awesome. Mine falls into this TSB. Luckily it's already at the dealer getting the dash ripped out to replace the cracked EVAP core. Good times.

I'm in the same situation,truck has been sitting at the dealer for 4 weeks and counting waiting for the part and my VIN is in the TSB

Wonder what the chances are of this turning into a recall/replacement for the affected VINs?

Hate that mine is a part of it and it kinda feels like a waiting game before it detonates. No issues as of yet, but it's not a good feeling just wondering if today is the day.

Is this the list of all VINs that had transmission failures?

It is the range that may be affected. Lookup your VIN up to the last six numbers. If your last six numbers are smaller than the one on the sheet, then you are part of this TSB. It does not mean yours will fail, just that it may as it happens to be within the range and this is the fix.

If it is bigger, you are outside the range and not a part of this TSB.

Glad to see this. A TSB just means that if you take your truck to the dealer with the failure symptoms there is a defined process to get it fixed. Basically it assures you of getting prompt attention and how Toyota will handle it.

Just got my truck yesterday and haven't had time to check to see if my VIN is in range, but super glad to see this happen.

So the wait is over, nice.

Just start at the left and take in one digit at a time. Post your VIN if you need help.

So am I getting this right? If your vin starts starts 3TYLC5....does that mean not impacted then?

VIN #TMLB5JN2RM002132

So if I am reading this correctly, I do fall within the range of vehicles that may have an issue. Does that mean I take it in and get things replaced or do I have to wait until something goes wrong?

 

[Lando]

It says market USA and Mexico. I assume it is for Canada too? Or is that a different market and VIN range?

To my recollection, a TSB is not a recall but a procedure when a failure happens. Makes it quicker for dealers to default to warranty and what to do.

Also the VINs in the range are to watch for possible failures. Not that they will fail, then it would be a recall.

Same question, because I'm not sure which VIN to compare mine with. Mine also starts with 3TYLC5 and my last six digits are 005347. But there are no 3TYLC5 VINs in that list. So how do I determine if mine is in or out?

Wait for it to fail

I’m in the range but so far my transmission is fine at 9k miles.

Do you need to have one of the check engine codes to get the replacement? Will the codes always pop up or could I still have a code without actually having a check engine light?
