Toyota has issued a recall for approximately 280,000 pickups and SUVs due to a transmission issue that could potentially deliver power in neutral. The affected vehicles include certain 2020 and 2021 Toyota Tacoma and Tundra pickups, as well as 4Runner SUVs.
The problem stems from a faulty part within the transmission that could cause the vehicle to unexpectedly shift into neutral while driving. This poses a serious safety risk as it could result in a loss of power and control, potentially leading to accidents or injuries.
Toyota has stated that they will be notifying affected owners by mail and instructing them to bring their vehicles to a dealership for inspection and repair. The necessary repairs will be made free of charge to the customer.
In the meantime, Toyota is advising owners of the affected vehicles to avoid driving them until they have been inspected and repaired. This is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of both the driver and other road users.
This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of staying up-to-date on vehicle recalls and addressing any issues promptly. Ignoring recalls can put you and others at risk on the road.
If you own one of the affected Toyota vehicles, be sure to contact your local dealership or visit the Toyota website to check if your vehicle is included in the recall. It is crucial to take action as soon as possible to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.
