Nhtsa recall number 14vg-604 I own a 2009 Toyota Tacoma. Currently there is a recall on my truck. Nhtsa recall number 14vg-604. I took my truck into the Toyota dealership to have the part replaced for the recall. Toyota stated they were unable to repair the parts for the recall because the truck has aftermarket parts on it. They stated that it would cost me an additional 160 for the u-bolts to be replaced in order to repair the recall. I called and spoke with the national dot and Toyota customer service, to see if they would be able to repair and replace all the parts needed at no cost to me but were unable to preform the repair. I am writing this complaint due to the fact of a safety concern.

I own a 2008 Toyota Tacoma access cab off-rod 4x4. A leaf in the passenger side leaf spring broke while driving. I was driving along and I started to hear a clanking metal on metal noise that I had not heard before. I was close to home so I drove there and when I looked underneath the second leaf from the top was broken in two right behind the u-bolt holding the rear axle to the leaf pack. I had it repaired by a local shop who replaced the broken leaf and added another full leaf to both leaf packs(passenger and driver side) on the truck. Before it broke, the springs on both sides were already flat when unloaded and if I put any amount of weight in the back I was hitting the bump stops very easily.
