Toyota recalls 228,000 Tacoma trucks
The company said Thursday that the recall applies to certain two thousand sixteen and two thousand seventeen Tacoma trucks.
The issue is that the vehicles’ rear differential — or a set of gears that sends power out to the rear wheels — could leak oil.
“If a vehicle is continuously operated in this condition, the rear differential could become bruised, which can result in noise and diminished propulsion,” Toyota said in a statement. “In some cases the rear differential could seize, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle and enhancing the risk of a crash.”
