Toyota To Recall 690,000 Tacomas For Rusted Out Suspensions

Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc, a unit of Toyota Motor Corp, said it would recall about 690,00 Tacoma 4X4 and Tacoma pre-runner pickup trucks to fix issues with the vehicles' rear suspension system.

"The involved vehicles' rear suspension system contains leaf springs that are constructed of either three or four leaves. There is a possibility that a leaf could fracture due to stress and corrosion," Toyota said in a statement on Monday.
