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

[TacoFreak]

Wait for it to fail

It does not mean it will fail, just that it might. A TSB is a big plus if you have transmission problems because it will mean that the dealer knows exactly what to do.

Damn I’m in the range. So far no issues but I’m only at 1k. Feels like a ticking time bomb but I guess it’s better to know I’m possibly impacted

Mine is 3TMLB5JN9RM000992. What's the prognosis?

steps to figure out if your VIN is in the TSB.

1. your VIN is an exact match to the letters and numbers to the left of the "#" in the TSB list
2. your VIN has a number to the right of the "#" that is less than the number in the matched line found in 1.

if you can do both 1. and 2., your VIN is in the TSB

How can you tell?

Because 15852 < 41152

Thanks @taco_overlander - I was assuming that was the way to read that, but it helps to know for sure.

Good news for some of us, and a more defined fix for the people affected. I know it will make them worry, but at least they will know what is going on.

Definitely! Just heading out from Ontario to Colorado, Wyoming, Utah. A bit of piece of mind!

here is the Tacoma 2024 VIN Decoder that I copied from another site

2024 Toyota Tacoma VIN Decoder

3TM = Toyota Mexico Baja Factory
3TY = Toyota Mexico Guanajuato Factory

J = XtraCab with GVWR below 6000 lbs
K = Double Cab with GVWR below 6000 lbs
L = Double Cab with GVWR above 6000 lbs

B = 278 hp AT (SR5/TRD Sport/TRD Off Road/Limited)
C/F = Hybrid (TRD Sport HV/TRD Off Road HV/TRD Pro/Trail Hunter/Limited)
D = 228 hp AT (SR 8AT)
E = 270 hp MT (SR 6MT/TRD Sport 6MT)

A = XtraCab
5 = Double Cab

F = 278 hp 2WD (SR5/Prerunner/TRD Sport)
H = 228 hp 2WD (SR)
J = 27x hp 4WD (SR 6MT/SR5/TRD Sport/TRD Off Road/Limited)
K = 228 hp 4WD (SR 8AT)
L = Hybrid 4WD (TRD Sport HV/TRD Off Road HV/TRD Pro/Trail Hunter/Limited HV)

N = Tacoma

_ = Check Digit

R = 2024 Model Year

M = Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Baja California Plant
T = Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Guanajuato Plant



----------

The TSB has "B", "D", and "E" in the fifth slot. No "C" or "F" -- so no hybrids are included in the TSB

My TH not on the TSB, but out of curiosity for those of you who are - did you get an update on the toyota app under 'Vehicle Health'?

Not in the list because your last 5 digits are higher than 11196

Yes, you are in the list. You have one of the earliest builds in the config.
