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

[Gfenza89]

Your truck is just a few trucks after mine. We are in it. I have 5k miles no issues.

What are people's thoughts on an early fluid change?

have thought the exact same thing! I’m thinking my first service visit I’ll bite the bullet and pay for a flush

I was thinking about this too lol.

Wow thanks ! Sadly I fall into the VIN range ... but 7200km (4400miles) I've not had any issues with the transmission (yet). All seems fine with it.

Same here.

Yeah, it’s two steps. Lmao

Did you not read the first post? It is literally two steps. Compare the first half of your vin and the second half. It literally takes less than a minute to see if your vin is affected yet people still keep posting their vin and asking for help. They should not be driving in public roads if they can’t figure it out.

Could solve the problem.. Or Could dislodge debris and cause failure bring it to a head! Either way win/win?

Yeah, that’s my point. It’s two steps that the rest of us figured out. It’s not that hard.

Mine falls into the TSB, but I have a 6MT, so big IGNORE!

Note: I am over 7,800 miles...

So, if a recall is issued down the line, Is Toyota obligated to provide a loaner vehicle for a job that they'll probably have more than a week? Or is it up to the individual dealer, or is this something that is only covered under the optional extended warranty?

Those that are outside the tsb, do you experience similar first hard shifts at cold start?

my vin is in the tsb and have somewhat hard first shifts but I could have sworn I heard a clunk when it was downshifting under 30 mph. Other than that it's pretty smooth.

Interesting, mine appears to be affected based on the documentation. However, I have just over 8K on mine, and it's been behaving properly.

Thankfully I don’t fall in the range unless I’m not reading the last 5 digits right 3TYLB5JN5RT20A549

this should also show up in the Toyota app at some point also if you are affected right?

I’m outside the range. My first shift when cold is slightly rough. It’s been like that since new and I have 3500 miles on it. Shifts smooth out completely once it’s ran for a couple minutes. They really aren’t that rough to start with, just rougher than once it’s warmed up.

Good to know! Was looking for someone outside the range to post this. The weird shifting occasionally is not a set standard for failure then

That looks like a pre-production VIN? (because of a letter in the last 6) Is that what’s on your rig?
