Hi there, I am reaching out as I am super frustrated. I received a text from Capital Toyota stating my 2017 Toyota Tacoma had a safety recall for a water leak. I contacted the dealership and they told me my vehicle wasn't eligible for this recall to reach out to cooperate, in which I did and they told me it was only for certain vehicles. However I have been texting with the service dept at Capital Toyota and they are saying it was apart of the recall but it has expired. Now I am left with a constant leaking from the third break light, and I have a [XXX] baby and it is a huge safety concern as mold is a serious health hazard. I can be reached at [XXX] if you need further information. Thank you. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
2017 (manufactured in June) model year Tacoma vehicles painted with 8T0 Blue Metallic exhibit clear-coat peeling on one or more panels. The peeling occurs in the clear coat layer, exposing the base coat to the sunlight and fading the color to white. There is a current TSB #T-SB-0004-20, but Toyota says my vehicle was manufactured outside the affected Production range, as you can see in the attached, my vehicle's clear coat peeling looks exactly as described in the TSB. I have seen online other people are experiencing this pushback as well from Toyota. This TSB should be extended at least through June of 2017 if not through the end of the year. Toyota is REFUSING to make the repairs.
The paint is chipping/flaking around the windows and along the edges on both rear doors. I have taken my Tacoma into two dealerships, Santa Maria Toyota, Santa Maria, CA and Arlington Toyota, Jacksonville, FL. I first reported this to The Service Manager Stacy at Santa Maria Toyota in July 2021 for the rear driver side door paint damage. Then on 16 March 2022 I reported the rear passenger side door damage to Body Shop Arlington Toyota. Both inspected my vehicle and stated this is a common problem with the Super white paint. I contacted Toyota Corporate both times and today they advised me to file this with you guys. I bought this 2017 Tacoma new and it has been garaged.
Roof top shark fin antenna leaking water. First suspected the leak from high mount stop light, changed gasket for it. Water intrusion continued and ceiling higher than high mount brake light wet. Upon inspection of roof top antenna, white axidation found around the base of roof top antenna cabin/inside side.
