SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER
If damaged, the copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
7 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 676 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
If damaged, the copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
Damage to the seat heater wiring could cause the wires to short, increasing the risk of the seat burning and causing personal injury to the occupant.
If the fuel tank leaks fuel from being punctured, there is an increased risk of a fire.
If the seat belt pre-tensioner detaches from the seat belt assembly, the seat belt pre-tensioner will not perform as designed, increasing the risk of injury in a severe crash.
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
THIS DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
Two 2007 TOYOTA TACOMAs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
