indasand Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 December, 2007 - Toyota Recalls 4x4 Tundra Trucks 12/14/07 Toyota is recalling 15,600 of its 2007 4x4 Tundra trucks to check a joint in the rear driveshaft. There's a possibility that parts weren't heat treated properly in order to create the strength needed to handle the Tundra's power. If parts fail, a worst-case scenario would be a separation between the driveshaft at the joint, and that could lead to an accident. In the one related incident that's occurred, the driver heard an unusual noise and took the truck to a dealer, where they discovered that parts were failing. Toyota took it from there. Toyota's press release isn't real clear, so I'm not sure yet if a failure would be at the universal joint or the driveshaft yoke (where the universal joint attaches). I'll know more about the specifics of the recall in the next week or two. Which Tundras Are Affected? Toyota will notify you by mail (beginning in late December, 2007) if you own a Tundra that's involved in the recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
