TSB: 2024 Tacoma Transmission Failures Issue & Replacement (9/9/24). Updated w/ VIN Lookup Tool

[TacoFreak]

@OlafTheNork That is the same for me - driving on mostly level roads, at 65-70 mph only gives me 17.2 mpg. I am also starting to have hard shifts, so I guess the failure process has started. Now to see where it leads. Good luck to all.

I don't want to spread unnecessary concern, just my experience. Not sure if it had anything to do with it, but most of my driving was in the "Eco" mode and got 19 mpg +/-. Since replacing the transmission I've run in "normal" and have been getting 23 - 25 routinely.

@Dirt I understand and I am not trying to spread FUD either, just trying to get a better understanding of what is going on.

That is a big change in mpg though and fits with what I am seeing. I had not seen that reported before and find it interesting. I just want to have as much warning as possible that my transmission might be on its way out.

Thanks for the input.

UPDATE - use this VIN lookup tool to determine if your VIN is affected by this TSB:

Here it is guys, official technical service bulletin for the codes that relate to transmission failure.

**UPDATED WITH PRODUCTION CHANGE EFFECTIVE VINs**

Steps to figure out if your VIN is in the TSB (by @taco_overlander).​

​

1. your VIN is an exact match to the letters and numbers to the left of the "#" in the TSB list​

2. your VIN has a number to the right of the "#" that is less than the number in the matched line found in 1.​

​

If you can do both 1. and 2., your VIN is in the TSB​

You do not fall under the TSB


I see this message. Is my Tacoma affected by the transmission problem or not? What should I be concerned about?

 

[Chewmeista]

other than a stuck gear and bad mpgs, has there been any other signs leading up the transmission failures?
