PSA: Check your Front Brake Calipers - Spring Clip Installed Incorrectly on my 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road

[GRKTRD]

Another weird thing happened today in the Tacoma. Radio powered off completely on its own after driving for about 3 minutes. Radio was on and I did not touch any buttons. Screen went black for about 20 seconds then powered on with the initial warning screen like I had just restarted the truck.

Mine has done the same thing several several times. Mine is a 3TY as well. Just completely turns off and seems like its never going to restart lol. Ive somewhat contemplated selling my truck privately at the moment and finding a later produced truck

this could also be caused by a firmware update. It could have downloaded the update in the background and needed to restart following installation. That’s just a guess though.

I'm new to tacomas - i cant believe those are held in place by a wire clip. How could this not be a huge safety issue ? Is there something else that prevents that clip from coming when you dive over some grass ?

This is not an uncommon design. When wire is installed through the pin they retain them and no problem.

My spring clips are installed properly. 3TY Off Road delivered 2/16. Anyone have the rear shock bolt torque specs? Probably pretty high since mine are on very tight...

I have heard that this could be the system doing an upgrade. If I’m not mistaken I believe Robmotive did a video on this issue when he first got his TRD Sport.
