Toyota recalls 15,600 Tundra pickups

Toyota has announced the recall of 15,600 2007 Toyota Tundra pickups due to a transmission part problem. According to Toyota, the recall stems from a faulty rear propeller shaft on four-wheel drive Tundras. The defect could cause the joint to separate, although no accidents or injuries have been reported because of the faulty shaft.

“The front joint on the rear driveshaft may have been improperly heat treated by our supplier,” a Toyota spokesman said. “In the worst case, the shaft may separate at the joint.”

According to Automotive News, the flaw was discovered by a customer complaining of a noise coming from the rear shaft.

The Tundra has faced a number of problems this year, although not all were recalls. Several Tundra customers complained of a "rumble strip" sound coming from the truck's transmission, which was chalked up to a faulty torque converter and replaced by Toyota.

Toyota also replaced the entire engine on some Tundra trucks due to faulty camshafts.

There have also been several complaints about the Tundra's tailgate failing, although Toyota has yet to address the issue.
