Toyota Tacoma: Powertrain

Affects Toyota Tacoma · 2016 — about 2K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles equipped with a V6 engine, the crankshaft rotor may have been produced with an anti-corrosion coating that is too thick. This could cause interference with the crank position sensor, potentially causing the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the crank position sensor with one of an improved design.
