See the [2012-2015 Toyota Tacoma overview](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/tacoma/2012-2015) for the full picture, or the [Toyota Tacoma guide](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/tacoma) to compare every generation. ## What changed for the 2015 Toyota Tacoma | Years | What changed | | --- | --- | | 2015 | Final year of the 2nd generation; TRD Pro trim debuts (265/70R16 with Bilstein suspension) | ## Known problems with the 2015 Toyota Tacoma 4 of the 6 issues we track for the 2012-2015 generation are documented against the 2015 model year. ### Frame rust in salt states (major) Toyota's famous $3.4B frame-rust settlement covered 2005-2010 Tacomas (free inspection and frame replacement for perforation), but it did NOT extend to 2012-2015 trucks, and a later class action over 2011+ frames produced no comparable settlement. These frames still rust in road-salt regions, inspect the frame rails, especially above the rear axle and spring hangers, before buying, and wash/oil-undercoat annually if you live in the rust belt. Typical cost: $150-$500 preventive undercoating; frame repair/replacement $3,000-$15,000 out of pocket. ### Driveline clunk/thunk from the rear driveshaft (4WD) (minor) A clunk when shifting between R and D or on throttle tip-in is usually the rear propeller shaft slip-yoke binding. Toyota issued TSB T-SB-0046-12 with an improved rear propeller shaft; many owners fix it for pennies by cleaning and greasing the slip-yoke splines during tire rotations. TSB T-SB-0046-12 Rev1. Typical cost: $0-$20 DIY grease; $300-$600 shaft service; TSB shaft covered under warranty when it applied. ### EVAP codes P0440/P0441/P0455 (purge valve, charcoal canister) (minor) A check-engine light with EVAP small/large-leak codes is a signature 2nd-gen Tacoma pattern, first suspect a loose gas cap, then the purge VSV (cheap), then the charcoal canister (not cheap, mounted near the tank). No recall; parts fail with age and dust. Typical cost: $40-$80 purge valve DIY; $450-$700 canister with labor. ### Heater blower works only on high (resistor failure) (minor) When the fan runs only on its highest setting, the blower motor resistor has failed, a very common, well-understood failure on this cabin's HVAC. The resistor is a cheap plug-in part behind the glovebox; no campaign exists because it is a routine wear item. Typical cost: $25-$60 part, 15-minute DIY. 2 more issues are reported in other 2012-2015 years: 2.7L valve springs can fracture (recall) (2013-2014 (2.7L only)); Brake actuator electrical fault disables VSC/ABS (recall) (2012-2013).
