Official summary
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.
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
