Toyota Tacoma recall will replace potentially faulty crankshaft timing sensors.
The Toyota Tacoma is being recalled for issues with the Crankshaft Timing Rotor. During the manufacturing process a number of Tacomas received crankshaft timing rotors with excessive anti-corrosion coating. Toyota is contacting owners of affected ‘Tacos. In a news release, the company stated that failure of the timing rotor could cause rough running, misfiring, or stalling—the latter of which could increase the risk of a crash due to a lack of power steering, brakes, and other ancillary systems while the engine is shut off. Owners will start receiving notifications starting in mid-July.
The recall affects a batch of 2017 and 2016 9th-generation examples of Toyota’s famed compact truck fitted with the optional 3.5 liter 278-horsepower V6 engine.
