NHTSA publishes complaints as owners wrote them and does not verify them, so read them as a pattern rather than a diagnosis.

A 2018 Tacoma owner, NHTSA complaint 11442000: "Started noticing vibration on smooth roads a few weeks ago, as if tires were misaligned. Independent service center was able to reproduce the problem and found both rear shocks were cracked, with fluid leaking."

Recalls that cover the shock absorber pair on the 2016–2023 Tacoma

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma whose defect is in the shock absorber pair. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which shock absorber pair a 2016–2023 Tacoma takes

Shocks differ by drivetrain, by ride height, and by whether the trim carries an off-road or sport package. The 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma came with several powertrains, among them 2.7L I4 Automatic RWD and 3.5L V6 Automatic 4WD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
