Toyota recalls nearly 75,000 Tacoma pickup trucks.
, but that doesn’t mean the beloved Tacoma isn’t without flaws. Toyota will recall 75,400 trucks from the 2022 and 2023 production runs because of child-seat anchor problems. These affected vehicles apparently suffer from noncompliance with the top child-seat anchor welds, which don’t meet safety standards for the United States.
If you’re wondering why this is bad, it’s simple: The anchor weld can fail, which could cause a child seat to suddenly move during a crash or sudden stop. That’s clearly not an ideal outcome and could cause an injury to the child in the seat or a passenger hit by a flying car seat. The fix? Well, here’s the unfortunate news: There isn’t one. Toyota says it’s currently working on a solution to this problem and is targeting September for the solution. Considering it’s a weak weld, it's possible Toyota could repair the anchor with another weld, but details about the repair are still to come.
