• Recall 3009 [USA]: An electrical short or open circuit can cause a fault in the converter and a non-operational condition of the trailer lights. if the vehicle is driven without trailer lights, it may be difficult for other drivers to see the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
  Equipment description: this recall is for trailer towing wire harness converters installed by dealers or for installation on 1999-2000 toyota tundra and tacoma vehicles. The connectors integrate the vehicle's tail lights, brake lights, and turn signal lights with those equipped on the trailer, are defective. Affected part numbers are: pt207-34000, pt207-34002, pt207-04981, and pt214-04985. In the tundra vehicles, the circuitry utilized in the converter was inadequate to properly manage vehicle and/or trailer-side voltage spikes. If the converter is exposed to a voltage spike, it may cause an electrical short or open circuit within the converter. In the tacoma vehicles, due to deficient waterproofing and improper installation location of the converter, which is mounted in the lower portion of the tailgate cavity of the vehicle, an electrical short circuit will occur if water enters the converter housing.
  dealers will notify the customers and install a redesigned trailer towing wire harness converter free of charge. Owner notification began august 27, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 toyota tacoma. While the contact was getting the tires changed, she was informed that the rear frame was severely rusted. The contact took the vehicle to a body shop and was informed of an unknown recall regarding the rust on the vehicle. The contact called mike johnson's hickory toyota (located at 435 us highway 70 se, hickory, nc 28602, 828-330-9538) and was informed that the rear frame needed to be replaced. The repair was once covered under a warranty enhancement program that advised dealers to coat the frame with a rust coating to prevent rust from forming.

Horn not functioning and fuses are all good ! Airbag warning light has been on since 2006 will not go off !

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 toyota tacoma. The contact stated that the frame of the chassis was corroded. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000.

I brought my tacoma to my mechanic for a power steering leak. My mechanic informed me that while trying to lift the vehicle, the frame started to crumble as it was compromised by corrosion. He immediately lowered the truck and deemed it unsafe to operate. He mentioned that there was a known issue and a recall on the frames as they were prone to corrosion and failure. I then contacted toyota and was informed that the recall had expired and they would do nothing for my vehicle. I was never notified of the potential risk of frame failure, nor was i aware of the recall and it's expiration. I now have a truck with only 175k miles that was well maintained, and due to toyota's poor quality steel is now worthless. How toyota can place a limitation on a serious safety recall is beyond me, but that is what they have done.
