Some 2005 - 2015 model year Tacoma vehicles with applicable VDS have a different coil spring diameter. This may lead to a lateral force applied to the support plate upon reassembly of the front shock absorber with coil spring assembly. This may cause the inner rubber sleeve of the support plate to pull out when spring tension is released and the support plate to tilt. NOTE This Service Bulletin ONLY provides best practices for front shock absorber with coil spring assembly. The Repair Manual MUST be referenced with this bulletin when performing front shock absorber with coil spring assembly replacement.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10141613-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10141613-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10141613","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"TOYOTA","model":"TACOMA","year_from":2005,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2005_toyota_tacoma","2006_toyota_tacoma","2007_toyota_tacoma","2008_toyota_tacoma","2009_toyota_tacoma","2010_toyota_tacoma","2011_toyota_tacoma","2012_toyota_tacoma","2013_toyota_tacoma","2014_toyota_tacoma","2015_toyota_tacoma"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
