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.

Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
