Toyota has recalled another load of cars due to issues-- this time, it is the Tacoma pickup. Over 381,000 2022-2023 Toyota Tacoma pickups are being recalled due to a problem where the rear axle can become loose. Due to excess metal from welding, the bolts may not be tightened properly, causing them to eventually become loose and even fall off. This can cause multiple issues such as oil leaks, unstable driving, and odd vibrations from the back of the car. If you are experiencing any of these issues from your Tacoma, make sure to take it to the dealership to fix them before the axle possibly becomes detached. Toyota will notify owners in April, where they can bring it into the shop for no cost to inspect for possible issues. The brand continues recall vehicles as issues pop up with everything from airbags to axles in various models, but it still has millions of trusted customers.
Fact of the Day: Since an Earth year is 365.242 days, not exactly 365.25, the calendar is still a few minutes off because of the extra time. Due to this, only centuries divisible by 400 are leap years (1600 and 2000 were leap years, but 1700, 1800, and 1900 weren't).
Quote of the Day: When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal, you do not change your decision to get there. (Zig Ziglar)
