Consumer Description

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER PLATE IS LEAKING GEAR OIL. THE COVER PLATE IS FIXED IN PLACE NOT BOLTED ON. THE EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR TOYOTA TACOMAS SO I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM WITHOUT A RECALL INITIATED BY NHTSA. SHOULD THIS COVER PLATE TOTALLY FAIL WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL THE RESULTING ACCIDENT MAY CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING ON THE SAME HIGHWAY.
