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

[Gerbear]

I think our trucks do come with a trans cooler, albeit it's a coolant-to-fluid transfer block. It's actually more for getting the trans up to temp, rather than cooling it down, but can in theory provide some cooling if trans temps exceed coolant temps.

Nonetheless, I did see there were some companies working on dedicated transmission coolers specifically for our trucks. Not sure if anything has actually hit the market, but it may be an worthwhile upgrade for those that tow frequently.

Hey thanks very much for this. Exactly the spot where my local NS off-raod guys were going to install it. I'll wait for these guys in the link to come out with something, as a fan would obviously make sense as well.

Is there a way to know actually how many trucks are affected with the transmission failures or what percentage? Thanks.

Call toyota and ask them. They won't tell you though.

Should one be concerned about the AL80F transmission in the 2025's...? I'd hope Toyota has resolved the issue in current production

The issue was already fixed in mid to late 2024s, so you’re fine.

Knock on wood, I haven't had any issues, and my Tacoma was built in February 2024, so under this TSB. It has over 16K miles on it.
