Ask if they can pull a shock off another unit. Get you on down the road.

I asked and they said no go

I hear you univurshul, as an off-roader myself. Hopefully it will covered under warranty, but I can see Toyota becoming stubborn.

Exactly the reason I have a Land Cruiser in the queue. Made in Japan.

It has been covered by warranty

Which plant was your Tacoma built at? The Tijuana plant is new and that could be the source of the problem. I also questioned the new design when I first saw it, so it could also be poor engineering. Considering what the 4th gens cost there is no excuse for either poor build quality or engineering.

Are they giving you something to drive while you wait, since they said it could take a while to get parts? At least they are not trying to sleaze out of the warranty coverage.

I’m sure the plant isn’t the source of the issue, the shock didn’t come loose, it just straight up failed, are the shocks made by Toyota?

This doesn’t look like an assembly error. I’m pretty sure these components are sourced from a factory somewhere else.

EDIT: SnowmanJPS beat me to it

 

[TacoFreak]

Yes, I am pretty sure you are both correct @SnowmanJPS and @Taco Azul.

It looks like the failure of a poorly made component to me also, and it probably was not made by Toyota. But they own these failures anyway and I hope they are working to address the problem.

It is hard to imagine bashing through the desert at high speed on such a poorly made suspension.
