One problem related to steering pinion shaft has been reported for the 2011 Toyota Tacoma. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2011 Toyota Tacoma based on all problems reported for the 2011 Tacoma.
Upon inspection to troubleshoot a minor power steering fluid leak, I noticed that the pinion input shaft housing (right side of power steering rack) had excessive rust beyond normal wear and tear. The rest of the rack did not exhibit the same degree of corrosion, suggesting a manufacturing or assembly defect. The condition was inspected by an independent certified mechanic and by Toyota technicians. The certified mechanic states that the condition is beyond normal wear but the Toyota technician denies that anything but a bolt is corroded.
