Your 2023 Tacoma was brought in for a recall repair (Campaign 24V152000) on the powertrain, but the dealer's initial work was incomplete. When you returned, the dealer replaced rusted nuts and bolts but applied the wrong torque specification. The dealer acknowledged that rust can develop on these fasteners, and Toyota was unable to provide additional assistance. The issue was first noticed around 21,300 miles.

Your 2023 Tacoma is making a loud clicking sound from the rear when starting, and the rear wheels sometimes lock up even though you haven't touched the brakes, causing the vehicle to sway side-to-side while driving. When you brake while turning, you feel excessive vibration and hear an abnormal throbbing noise in the steering wheel that stops when you straighten out. A dealer alignment didn't fix the problem, and the issue may be related to a known powertrain recall (NHTSA Campaign 24V152000). The repair will likely involve inspecting and adjusting the rear differential or drivetrain components to prevent wheel lockup.

You've notified both the dealer and Toyota, and they've confirmed the parts are still unavailable. While you haven't experienced an actual failure, the delay has exceeded what you consider reasonable.
