2001 Toyota TACOMA Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	971579
Internal NHTSA #	10504267

Brand	TOYOTA
Model	TACOMA
Model Year	2001
File date	20/03/13
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The brakes failed due to loss of hydraulic fluid. This occurred suddenly. The steel hydraulic brake line has corroded and ruptured within an inch of where it connects to the brake bias valve near the left rear wheel. Upon inspection of the area around the brake bias valve, the bias valve itself, the bolts securing the bias valve, and the brake lines severe corrosion was observed. The inspector who has 35 years of experience working on toyotas regards this corrosion as abnormal for any vehicle of this age. The vehicle's frame was coated with a substance that is supposed to prevent corrosion under a toyota recall in oct. 2010. This substance was sprayed on the brake line which ruptured as well. The inspector feels that the coating is actually accelerating the corrosion. The inspector observed the coating pealing off of the truck's frame in large sheets.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
