Coverage for Propeller Shaft Universal Joints
In our continuing efforts to ensure the best in customer satisfaction, Toyota is announcing a Customer Support Program to provide coverage for Propeller Shaft Universal Joints on certain 2005 – 2011 model year Tacoma vehicles.
Background:
Toyota has received a number of reports regarding Propeller Shaft Universal Joints on certain 2005 – 2011 model year Tacoma vehicles. In these reports, customers have indicated that there is a drivetrain vibration and/or drivetrain noise. If the vehicle continues to be driven with the aforementioned condition, there is risk of severe damage to the propeller shaft.
Although the Propeller Shaft Universal Joints are covered by Toyota’s Powertrain Limited Warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles (whichever occurs first), we at Toyota care about the customers’ ownership experience. Toyota is now providing coverage for repairs related to this condition.
