- Toyota recalls 2024-2025 Toyota Tacoma due to possibly damaged rear brakes hoses
- Toyota is also recalling certain models of the Camry, Lexus NX, and RX due to a possibly damaged second-row seatbelt
- The auto manufacturer will contact owners by mail and replace damaged parts, free of charge
Toyota Tacoma recalled for potentially damaged rear brake hoses
The Tacoma is being recalled due to a rear brake hose that can be damaged with wear and tear over time, especially if the vehicle is used in off-road conditions and there is a build-up of mud or dirt within the rear wheels. If the brake hose is damaged, it can cause a brake fluid leak which can increase the chance of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners by mail in early April and they will be advised to take their vehicle to a Toyota dealership to have both rear brake hoses inspected. If necessary, the parts will be replaced with improved brake hoses, free of charge.
Toyota recalls certain models over potentially damaged seatbelt
The recall is being issued due to a possibly damaged seatbelt in the second row, specifically in the centre seat. Toyota says those affected may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. The potential damage could mean the seatbelt may not meet safety standards and “certain strength requirements”. If that’s the case, a passenger seated in the middle seat in the second row may be at a higher risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Owners will be notified by mail in early April and advised to take their vehicle to a Toyota or Lexus dealership to have the seatbelt inspected. If necessary, the seatbelt assembly will be replaced, free of charge.
