DETROIT: Toyota is recalling about 381,000 Tacoma midsize pickup trucks in the U.S. because a part can separate from the rear axle, increasing the risk of a crash. Toyota said in a statement Tuesday that welding debris left on the ends of the axles can cause some nuts to loosen over time and eventually fall off. That can cause the part to separate from the axle, which can affect stability and brake performance. Toyota wouldn’t say if there have been any crashes or injuries caused by the problem. Dealers will inspect the rear axles and tighten retaining nuts at no cost to owners.
