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

I found this. It sure has some interesting points.

Good info but I still think he gets it wrong. There are manual transmission VINs in the TSB.

The manual is excluded. It doesn’t have solenoids. Just gears. The TSB clearly states automatic transmissions. My vin has is outside of the TSB so it’s excluded in the same way as the manual transmissions. It is in black and white.

I wish that were the case but the E in 3TYLE5JN stands for MT and is in the TSB…

Hi all. So, after determining that my 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 which I bought in June is one of the potentially affected vehicles I at first went through a range of feelings and emotions. None of them good. However, thanks to this thread I have since calmed down and given the statistics their fair evaluation and weight and I'm feeling a lot more optimistic. I got the premium package so suffice it to say I spent a lot of money for this truck, which I love, and then I gave my 2013 Tacoma to my son. So far, it's been, in my opinion, money well spent. It's my first ever brand new vehicle and I went into this purchase fully aware that I was in fact a beta tester like it or not and I knew that things like this were possible. I have less than 3500 miles on it and I've had absolutely no problems with my truck. Statistically that will likely remain the case, but if not and the worse happens I know that Toyota will likely be all to happy to make it right. I did opt for the 10 years, 120k mile warranty-like I stated earlier I'm beta testing the new Tacoma for Toyota and things can happen. It was pricy, but peace of mind is priceless. I did call my saleswoman and she basically told me that unless my truck was displaying symptoms of an immenant failure not to lose sleep over it. So, I'll continue monitor this thread and be sure to post an update if things change. Thanks to everyone who posted information above that really helped to enlighten me on all of this.

In a previous thread around 1900 miles stated truck was stuck in 6th gear, would barely move. Then returned to being able to drive but shifting rough. Dealer found a solenoid code, could not duplicate after being there for a week. Per Toyota, cleared code and shipped it. Since then has been shifting very roughly and progressively gotten worse. No MIL present. Will call dealer on Monday, but not over confident on a resolution. 3300 miles now 3/24 build. Vin included in tsb. I love the truck, but Toyota has not been very responsive in my eyes as of yet. I guessing will just need to wait till we get stranded on the side of the road. Hopefully everyone gets fixed up if needed.

Do you know if the code found matched the ones in the TSB? If so, and you have record of it, seems pretty clear that you could get it replaced.

Exactly

It was a shift solenoid code, not sure which one. Not on my paperwork, but I am sure dealership will have it in the techs notes. Will keep ya all posted next week.

I really wonder how society functioned before the internet allowed complete strangers to do everything in someone else life.

Well previously they would've suffered in silence.

Looks like my TRD Sport that I got in April falls in this range. I've already taken it to the dealer once about hard shifting and they said it's "normal behavior". At what point do I take it back? Do I have to wait until it fails completely and they have to come tow me?

If it doesn't have the associated codes, there's not much for them to do. If they didn't do a diagnosis to see if you have any codes, they're not doing their job. Then you reach out to Toyota and you tell them you keep having transmission problems and the dealer isn't helping you.

I can’t get over how fast this tsb spread. Had no idea it would spread like this after posting it

Yeah I subscribe to the TSB emails and I saw this come across the other day. But it was vague in the email and I didn't feel like paying the $25 just to read it. I'm glad someone did because it is actually really interesting.

I think the TSB puts you in a much better position.

You have multiple shift anomalies, plus codes, rough shifting and being stuck in one gear. Your transmission is clearly not working correctly and this TSB pretty much guarantees that Toyota will fix it.

Take it to the dealer and it will be their problem now, and not yours. I have had Toyotas with issues covered by a TSB and no shortcuts were taken, all the work was done right, and it did not cost me a penny.

Yeah I have an account with Toyota because I work in a collision repair shop have access to all their info. I can’t believe the way this tsb took off
