Toyota announces voluntary recall on 8,000 2010 model year Tacoma 4WD trucks to tnspect the front drive shaft. The front shaft in in certain 2010 model year Tocoma 4WD trucks may include a component that contains cracks that developed during the manufacturing process.  As those vehicles are used, the cracks may eventually lead to the separation of the drive shaft at the joint portion.

This condition only involves two specific front drive shaft production lot numbers installed in certain 2010 model year Tacoma 4WD vehicles. No other Toyota or Lexus vehicles are involved. The inspection is estimated to take ten minutes.  The inspection and/or replacement will be performed at no cost to the vehicle owner.
