Toyota Knows The New Tacoma Has Transmission Issues
Toyota has acknowledged transmission issues in the new 2024 Tacoma, specifically affecting models equipped with the eight-speed automatic transmission.
This isn't a full recall, but rather a technical service bulletin sent to dealers. Toyota's response involves replacing the transmission and torque converter assembly, but only if the truck displays one of six specific fault codes during a diagnostic scan at a dealership.
The reported fault codes are:
- P07407F
- P079571
- P08BA71
- P271371
- P280771
- P281671
These codes suggest that the problem may be due to a stuck pressure control solenoid actuator or a torque converter clutch actuator that is frozen in the off position.
Trucks with manual transmissions aren't affected by this issue. If you own a Tacoma with the eight-speed automatic transmission, it's advisable to get in touch with your local dealer promptly to avoid potential delays in repairs.
Despite the transmission concerns, the 2024 Tacoma has received positive reviews for its overall performance and improvements over the previous model.
However, it might be wise to wait until Toyota resolves these transmission issues or to consider opting for the manual transmission variant if you're in the market for a new Tacoma.
