Toyota has issued a recall for 690,000 Tacoma pickup trucks over fears that a part could break and puncture the gas tank, potentially causing a fire.
According to The Associated Press, the recall covers Tacoma Four-by-Four and Pre-Runner pickups from the 2005 through 2011 model years.
The automaker says the rear leaf springs can fracture due to stress and corrosion. They can move out of position and come into contact with surrounding components, including the gas tank. Toyota says it's not aware of any fires, crashes or injuries from the problem.
Owners will be notified by mail and Toyota says dealers will fix the problem at no cost.
Owners with questions can call Toyota at (800) 331-4331.
