It is heard that Toyota sadly had to order for a recall of some of the newer models of its trucks. This is because of a reported problem by a truck owner. In order to avoid injuries and accidents and more of such mishaps, Toyota therefore decided a recall on these trucks to be on the safer side.
So far the reports have confirmed that the trucks are the 2011 model Tundra Trucks and the problem seems to be coming in the rear drive shaft. According to the news received from Toyota, some 51,000 trucks will be called in for this safety inspection.
It is said that the inspection itself will take only a few minutes. However if the problem does arise, it will need to be reported and fixed or replaced which can take longer time. In either case the cost will not be borne by the owner of the truck.
