Shock blown through the top while driving down paved road 😡

[Cincy513]

My 2024 Tacoma shock completely went through the top and was hitting the inside of my wheel well! Now I’m just waiting to see how backed up parts may be.

The groove isn't above the shock. Or am I reading it wrong?

Dang, This sucks and then some. Wonder what the fix is going to be for this issue. They put same shock and its probably going to do it again.

this would be warranty right?

Absolutely

Absolutely

Not necessarily, off-roading or a severe pothole could be the cause, and not covered under warranty.

Seems like a tolerance stackup or QC issue. Hopefully Toyota is aware of it and fixes it quickly.

I would definitely like to hear what your dealer has to say about that @Cincy513.

Driving on a paved road should never cause this kind of failure, unless you drove through a crater at high speed, and even then I would be surprised.

I was told it could take a while to get parts
