Parking Brake Cable: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 05V050000: Parking Brake Defect
MAKE / MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Toyota/Tacoma 2005
MANUFACTURER: Toyota Motor Corporation
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V050000 RECALL DATE: Feb. 10, 2005
COMPONENT: Parking Brake
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 22228
SUMMARY:
On certain pickup trucks equipped with an automatic transmission, there is a possibility that the parking brake pedal cable lock nut may not have been
tightened to the proper torque specification. In this condition, the lock nut may loosen and come off, which will reduce the effectiveness of the parking
brake.
CONSEQUENCE:
This condition could allow the vehicle to roll if the transmission is not placed into the "PARK" position and the vehicle is parked on a slope, thus raising
the possibility of a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect and tighten the parking brake pedal cable lock nut to the proper torque specification. The recall is expected to begin in early March
2005. Owners should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
NOTES:
Customers can also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
