Toyota has issued a major recall affecting nearly 147,000 vehicles due to two separate safety concerns, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The recalls impact a variety of Toyota and Lexus models, with issues ranging from brake fluid leaks to seat belt failures, both of which could increase the risk of injury or accidents.
Toyota Tacoma Recall: Brake Fluid Leak Risk
The first recall affects 106,061 model year 2024-2025 Toyota Tacoma four-wheel drive trucks. According to Toyota, mud and dirt accumulation inside the rear wheels can damage the rear brake hoses, potentially leading to a brake fluid leak. If this occurs, drivers may experience reduced braking performance, increasing the likelihood of an accident.
To address the issue, Toyota dealers will replace both rear brake hoses free of charge. The automaker will send interim recall notices to owners on March 24, 2025, informing them of the safety risk. A second notice will follow once replacement parts are available.
Owners with concerns can contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331, using recall reference numbers 25TB04 and 25TA04.
Toyota and Lexus Seat Belt Recall
Toyota has also recalled 40,922 vehicles due to a potential seat belt defect in the second-row center seat belt. The seat belt webbing may be damaged, increasing the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
The affected vehicles include:
- 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid
- 2025 Lexus NX250, NX350, NX350 Hybrid
- 2024-2025 Lexus RX350, RX350 Hybrid, RX500 Hybrid
Toyota dealerships will inspect the seat belt webbing and replace the seat belt assembly if necessary, free of charge. Owners will receive notification letters starting March 24, 2025.
For more information, owners can call Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 and reference recall numbers 25TA03 and 25LA03.
How Toyota Owners Can Take Back Control
While recalls have been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, just like this, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
