US: Toyota to recall 150,000 Tacomas for spare tyre check

By Graeme Roberts | 22 November 2012

Toyota's US unit is recalling about 150,000 Tacoma trucks originally sold or currently registered in 20 cold climate states and the District of Columbia to inspect and/or replace the spare tyre carrier assembly.

During manufacture, the spare tyre carrier lift plate may not have been sufficiently coated with phosphate and that, combined with prolonged exposure to high road salt use and other environmental factors may contribute to the development of more than normal corrosion on some vehicles, causing it to break and the spare tyre detaching from the vehicle.

Sectors: Commercial vehicles, Vehicle manufacturers

Companies: Toyota
