The dealer has not remedied this recall. i called to make an appointment over 23 weeks ago. i was told the parts would be there in 7 to 10 days. i called and was told by the dealer they are waiting for the parts from the vendor.

Regarding recall # 14v-604. took vehicle in for inspection on nov 8, 2016 at big island toyota, located in kailua kona, hi. dealership said truck failed inspection. said replacement parts would arrive in six to eight months. seems unreasonable amount of time to repair a defective vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota tacoma. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v604000 (suspension); however, the dealer refused to do the repair due to the vehicle having a lift kit. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the manufacturer also informed the contact that the lift kit would need to be removed prior to the recall being remedied. the contact refused because he would be charged for the lift kit to be re-inistalled, even after the manufacturer was notified that the vehicle was purchased new with the lift kit. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

I was notified in early 2015 (not sure of the actual date) of a pending recall nhtsa# 14v604 or toyota # e02 regarding a problem with rear suspension leaf spring assemblies. i received a second letter(in 2015) about the same issue noting that a solution will be in place in early 2016. i have not heard from toyota regarding this issue in 2016 yet the issue recall is still active on the nhtsa data base. at this time, i have not had an incident with my vehicle but am disappointed that toyota has been so deliberate in fixing the problem. that is my complaint.

Takata recall: called toyota dealer 05/24/2016 i was told no parts were available at this time and that it would be in the week after someone from the service dept will call to schedule. on 06/07/2016 i left a follow up message. the service dept got back to me and said she didn't know what i was talking about because they have a scheduled apt for me to bring my vehicle, mind you i have not received a message. finally after a month today we took our truck in this morning only to get called 30 minutes later that they made a mistake and have no parts in stock and will call me once they have it again. that right there is unacceptable. my husband and i had to adjust our work schedule losing hours to bring our truck in only to be called later. they couldn't tell us the day before when they called to confirm the appointment or when we checked in.

Took truck to toyota dealership requesting rear leaf spring on passenger side to be replaced after i realized it squeaks all the time and received recall notice about spring. was told by toyota dealership that they couldn't do the repairs b/c it has a lift kit on the truck and in order for them to preform the job they would have to take my lift kit off at my expense. leaf spring is still squeaking. i even asked if toyota would pay for the leaf spring and let me have someone else install and was told no. now i have a squeaky leaf spring that could fail at any time and it's my responsibility to pay to get it fixed even though there has been a recall on the product.

Steering is very loose on off road driving / or "washboard" type road- there is currently a toyota tsb (technical service bulletin) #0119-10 out right now with a solution to the problem. solution= replace intermediate shaft. after reading all the posts online, this needs to be a safety recall. my truck only has 85,000 miles on it with loose steering. and has been like this for some time!

I received a recall for leaf springs (urgent safety recall)14v-604. called cox toyota in burlington nc and they said they would call back when the parts came in. i called back two weeks later and was told the parts are on back order and that they would call when the parts came in. called back another two or three weeks and got the same answer. it is now going on 3 months and i still have not heard from cox toyota in burlington,nc. leaf springs are very easily fixed. what is the deal with cox toyota. note: we take our toyota prius and truck for service at this dealership. please help me i don't know how to get them to fix this recall? and do i have to go to them?

I was notified of a recall on my tacoma leaf springs about a year ago. then 3 months later or so i was notified that "the fix" was ready and that i should call my dealer to set up an appointment. i did so in about april of 2016. i have heard nothing since, even though i've contacted them asking when this repair could be done. they "had no information."

Preliminary springs recall on tacoma pickup trucks i have received two letters from toyota over the last two and half years concerning a preliminary recall on the springs. their claim is that they are still trying to figure out how to correct the problem. i do not believe that. toyota has become experts at stonewalling and in the meantime, thousands of tacoma owners are driving a vehicle that squeaks so loud that people are continually asking what is wrong with your truck. anyone who has tried to sell or trade their tacoma has had to absorb a significantly reduced price/value, for no one wants to wait another three years for toyota to execute the recall. this lack of action is similar to what toyota did concerning the headlight lens which cracked or burned due to the heat from the amber bulbs. it took over two years to get toyota to admit that there was a problem and provide replacement headlight assemblies. even our local dealer questions the motives of toyota in not resolving the problem that they created. thank you for putting pressure on toyota to execute a recall the vehicles having problems with the springs and to correct them. thank you for your service to the citizens of the usa. *tr

Recall number 14v604 - rear suspension leaf springs. one of the leafs on the drivers side rear spring has broke and moved out of position and is hitting the rear brake line. please see photos attached. i spoke with toyota and after some extensive dialog have been assured that when i take it to the dealer and it is confirmed that the spring is indeed broke, that the dealer will temporarily remedy the defect at no cost to me. additionally, when toyota has a remedy for the above mentioned recall, i will be notified and the vehicle will be repaired to satisfy the recall. i bring attention to it on this site as the recall mentions only that the leaf could hit the fuel tank; this is to show that it could also hit the brake line which is an additional safety issue. thank you *tr

I recently purchased a used 2010 toyota tacoma. i was informed that there is a safety recall (nhtsa reference id 14v604) on the rear leaf springs. the recall was issued in september 2014 and toyota has still not developed a remedy for this safety issue. does the nhtsa have any recourse to compel toyota to develop a remedy? the recall has been issued for more than one year and there is still no remedy.

Experiencing a clunking and banging from the rear of my truck that matches the description listed in the recall letter we received pertaining to the failure of rear leaf springs on our 2010 toyota tacoma trd. on visual inspection, found that some of the leaf plates have moved out of position which can develop into a dangerous situation. we live 50 miles from the closest toyota dealership and may need to have the vehicle towed because of the safety issues. we only have the one vehicle and because of family/medical matters, would need some type of loaner vehicle if our truck is to be kept by the service dept. for more than one day.

September of 2014 - toyota sent out a preliminary recall notice - nhtsa campaign number: 14v604000- and that a remedy would be coming. the springs on my tacoma broke, brought it in, toyota deemed the truck was not safe to drive, and gave me a rental. they do not know when it can be fixed. toyota has been sitting on this for nearly a year. and they still do not have parts to fix it? i was the second truck that was brought in last friday with the same problem.

Recall for rear leaf spring - nhtsa recall 14v-604. "rear suspension system contains leaf springs that are constructed of either three or four leaves. there is a possibility that a leaf could fracture due to stress and corrosion. if this occurs and the vehicle continues to be operated, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components, including the fuel tank. if the broken leaf contacts the fuel tank repeatedly, it could puncture the tank and cause a fuel leak. in the presence of an ignition source, this could result in a fire." we have been trying to get this resolved on our vehicle for the past 4 years. toyota has been contacted by us numerous times and they continue to say they will contact the toyota headquarters to get this resolved. our vehicle was shipped to gambia, west africa in 2014, before receiving this recall, for our personal use there. the toyota dealership in the gambia, cfao, told us that if toyota would ship the part to them, they would install it in our vehicle. toyota has been notified several times over the past 4 years and they continue to say they will forward the request to their headquarters (in japan?), but we have never received any response to these requests and, therefore, the status of our vehicle is still recall incomplete. according to the recall letters received, it says that any authorized toyota dealer will inspect, and if necessary, replace the leaf springs at no charge to us. we want this part to be shipped to the toyota dealer in the gambia, west africa: cfao toyota, mamadi maniyang hwy, kanifing, gambia. their phone number is: 220-439-6906 and fax number is: 220-439-6687.

Received a safety recall notice from toyota for the rear leaf spring on 12/1/2014. it states the leaf springs can rust, fail and accidentally puncture the gas tank causing a fire. they have yet to produce a remedy and continue to stall instead of taking action to fix the problem. this could ultimately be a life threatening situation and toyota continues to delay. i do not feel toyota has the customers best interest in mind and are purely stalling for monetary reasons. *tr
