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

[Pootklopp]

Oh no, I did, you just didn't read the right thread or go back far enough. And it's quite easy to determine if you're affected or not, provided that you can compare alphanumerical characters. It's not rocket surgery.

In reality it doesn't even matter if someone in the TSB range at this point.

If they can't drive forward, contact your nearest dealer. Outside of that just enjoy the truck.

You’re in the TSB.

I will My have 2024 TRD off road hybride first week of décember ( I live in Canada) I hope it was built after those VIN. When did they stop building Tacoma with transmission issue?

You’re in the TSB.

Thanks for the confirmation, I appreciate it.

All you do is match up the leading alpha numeric characters and see if the final digits are smaller than what they have on the TSB - it takes a couple of seconds

That's what I thought, but someone posted a link to a lookup site and it didn't match my VIN so I don't know which to trust. Thanks.

If it's a warranty repair or diagnosis that takes longer than a day they will provide a loaner or reimburse you for one. It's part of the transportation assistance program. Unless you're in Canada, then I don't know what happens.

But I would say, until it's an issue no need to get bothered by what a dealer says. It sucks, but it is what it is.

thanks for posting that

Same here, I’m waiting on an allocated underground TRD Pro. I looked up the vin with the tool and didn’t even have my vin in there to exist. Im assuming mine was manufactured after the trans issue. Being that it was a quality issue with a foreign material “supposed“ I’m not to worried about it.

Looks like I am about 600+ outside of the TSB. Hopefully I don't have the problem.

If it hasn't already the lookup tool needs to be updated with the latest VINs.

Curious if the TSB only applies to the 8-speed autos? I have a 6-speed manual, but using the VIN lookup I am in the lower number range, so it says that I fall under the TSB, rather confusing but wanted to ask.

It’s only for the autos

Here's the updated TSB from 10/14/24

I was about to put a deposit down on a truck but it's vin falls deep into this TSB. (TSB says under 41XXX, and the truck I found is 13XXX). Aren't vins sequenctial?

The dealer claims this truck is still in allocation, whatever that means and they don't have an ETA. Does that make sense, considering the VIN is in the 13,000's?? That seems old.

Wondering if I should pass or if there is a chance the VIN will change from what will get sent to them.

 

[TacoFreak]

None of that makes sense. I thought an allocated truck was not built yet.

Did they give you a build date or are they saying it isn't built yet? I don't see Toyota issuing a TSB for trucks that they haven't even made. I would ask for more information if it was me.

If I bought a truck within the VIN range I would ask for a pretty substantial discount.

They’ve made trucks for years that fall into many tsb for known issues. Look at the diff howl on the 3rd gen Tacoma, tsb for that all the way up to the last ones that rolled off the assembly line
