| E0D_Dealer Daily | 2017-08-14. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS; STRUCTURE. Dealer Daily: Due to limited availability of 05 - 08 Tacoma frame activity parts, Toyota will be implementing a new ordering process for all future frame and ancillary part orders. Beginning January 28th, 2015 it will be mandatory for all dealers to order the frame and all required ancillary parts for each vehicle using the same order reference number. Many ancillary parts will be placed on MAC due to backorder condition and will be released once the frame is ready to be shipped to the dealership. There will be no additional requirements by the dealership for the release of the MAC parts. |

| T-SB-0040-08 | 2017-08-14. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE:BODY. TSB: On some vehicles, when Rapgard is removed, the paint may have a stained appearance. These stains appear to be under the clear coat (repainting this area is not necessary). The stain patterns are usually under wrinkles in the Rapgard. These wrinkles sometimes trap water and cause the paint to stain from the trapped moisture, especially on horizontal surfaces, such as the hood, roof, and trunk. Stains can be removed by heating the stained surface to remove the trapped moisture. |
