Should I buy a new Taco? Is it affected by the recall?

[TacoElgin]

Hi guys new here. I recently found a great deal on a long-bed Tacoma and I'm really tempted to buy it. However, I heard there’s been a recent transmission recall. Does this affect all Tacomas, or just certain models? The dealer mentioned that Toyota won’t let them sell the truck if it's affected by the recall. Is that accurate? Anything else I need to be aware of? Thanks!

I don’t think it’s technically a recall, but a TSB. Use the VIN lookup tool and see if thtruck you’re looking at is affected. Apparently the issue only applies to a certain number of trucks manufactured before they discovered the issue.
