Recall Alert: 2025 Toyota Tacoma

by TTAC News Staff

Published: October 6th, 2025

We have a recall alert for you this afternoon. It involves 2025 Toyota Tacoma and Tacoma Hybrids.

Toyota is recalling 5,960 units of 2025 Tacoma and Tacoma Hybrid vehicles because the front driveshaft CV joint may deform and break. A failure could impair steering, and in full-time 4WD models, it could cause the vehicle to roll away if parked without the parking brake, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the front driveshaft assemblies as needed at no cost. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 16, 2025. Owners can contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. The recall numbers are 25TB11 and 25TA11.

My Ford F-150 and Bronco were the most problematic vehicle I've ever owned in 35 years. My current staple of 6 Toyotas that I currently own have had no issues except for my 1985 FJ60 with 280,000mi with leaking transfer case and transmission. As compared to the same "solid engineering" that is Ford when on my 2014 F-140 Ecobost I went through 2 rear main seals in 80,000 with the second one leaking with 30,000 on the clock., Both turbos needing replacement. Transmission front pump failure. I'll stick with Toyota, I wouldn't buy a new Tacoma because they are all turbo 4's.

How does an all-metal CV joint "deform" - are they actually made of plastic?

  Glad a smart person asked this. I was wondering the same but am dumb and therefore shy.
  Heck, for all I know these are now made with sintered rat poop gathered from the company's creative wing.

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
