Carrier can seize (recall) (major) On 2016-2017 trucks the rear differential carrier-to-axle fastening nuts can loosen and leak gear oil; run dry, the differential can seize and lock the rear wheels. Toyota recalled ~228,000 trucks: dealers retorque/reseal, and replace the carrier assembly if damaged, free. A rear-axle oil stain on any 2016-2017 is worth an immediate VIN check. NHTSA 17V-285 (Toyota H0G). Typical cost: Free under recall; $1,500-$3,000 for a carrier outside recall coverage. ### 6-speed automatic shift-quality complaints (TSB reflashes) (moderate) The AC60E/F 6-speed drew years of complaints: delayed Park-to-Drive engagement, harsh 1-2 upshifts, constant gear hunting on the highway, and a shudder/surge at 40-50 mph. Toyota answered with ECM recalibration TSB T-SB-0077-16 ('Shift Feeling Enhancements') and follow-ups (T-SB-0058-18 surge, T-SB-0124-20 deceleration vibration). The reflashes genuinely help but don't make it a smooth transmission. Hardware failures are rare. TSB T-SB-0077-16 Rev1; T-SB-0058-18; T-SB-0124-20. Typical cost: Free under warranty / 8-yr 80k emissions coverage; ~$150 reflash otherwise. ### V6 crank-sensor stalling (recall) (major) About 32,000 2016-2017 V6 trucks got a crankshaft timing rotor with over-applied coating, which can confuse the crank position sensor and stall the engine without restart. Dealers replace the sensor (or rotor as needed) free under recall. NHTSA 17V-356 (Toyota H0H). Typical cost: Free under recall. ### A/C stops cooling at idle in extreme heat (minor) In ambient temperatures above ~100°F, some 2016-2021 trucks blow warm at idle and cool again once moving. Toyota's TSB revises A/C control logic/components. Annoying in the desert Southwest; harmless elsewhere. TSB T-SB-0093-20 Rev. Typical cost: Free under warranty per TSB; $150-$400 otherwise depending on parts applied. ### Blower motor noise/failure (2016-2017) (minor) Early 3rd-gen trucks are over-represented in HVAC blower complaints, a chirping/squealing fan that eventually quits. Toyota addressed certain 2016-2017 blower motors in service communications; out of coverage it is a straightforward behind-the-glovebox replacement. Typical cost: $150-$400 parts and labor. 1 more issue is reported in other 2016-2023 years: Denso low-pressure fuel pump failure (recall) (2018-2020).
